UNCHARACTERISTIC GOFF
Before last Sunday, Lions quarterback Jared Goff held an NFL record producing eight straight road games with at least a 70 percent completion percentage.
That streak ended in Philadelphia as Goff was uncharacteristically inaccurate in a 16-9 loss to the Eagles, completing just 14-of-37 passes (37.8 percent) for 255 yards with a touchdown, an interception and a passer rating of 60.1.
His completion percentage Sunday was a new career low for a single game. It dropped Goff from No. 1 in the NFL in completion percentage going into last week to No. 5 at 69.7 behind Drake Maye (71.9), Sam Darnold (70.2), Daniel Jones (69.9) and Dak Prescott (69.9).
"No fun. Frustrating," Goff said Wednesday of watching the tape from Sunday. "All that. No fun. But you learn from it. You try to find little bits and pieces you can get better from just like any other tape that goes good or bad or indifferent. You just try to learn from it and get better."
Detroit's been able to bounce back pretty good following losses the last three years, and Goff has been a big reason for that. I expect Goff to be much more on point and accurate with the football Sunday vs. the Giants.
