There is something about coming back from a loss that really seems to fuel Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff.
In games following the last four Lions losses, Goff has had a passer rating well above 100.0 in leading Detroit to convincing victories.
Goff finished 23-of-28 passing for 334 yards with five touchdowns, no interceptions and a 156.0 passer rating.
Goff lofted a pass down the right sideline that rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa made a diving one-hand grab on.
If they ruled him in bounds with the catch the clock would continue to run.
Recovering from a defeat seems to be a major motivator for Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff.
The Lions have not lost consecutive games since the middle of the 2022 season, and Goff has performed at some of his best after losses.
Following the last four Lions losses, Goff has led Detroit to resounding victories with a passer rating well above 100 points.
After losing to the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, the Lions defeated Chicago 52–21 on Sunday, and Goff proved once again that he is a gamer. Goff had a passer rating of 156 points, completed 23 of 28 passes for 334 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions. His leadership of Detroit’s dominant offensive performance was almost flawless.
According to Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St., “I think he’s – I mean, he’s one of the best in the league when you protect him and let him see it.”. Against, Brown was the target of three Goff touchdowns. Bears. He demonstrated his true self today, which is why we value him so highly as a quarterback. “.”.
How good was Goff Sunday, exactly?
It was the second time in his career that he had at least 300 yards of passing, an 80 percent completion rate, and a passer rating of 155 points. For the most in NFL history, that is tied with Lamar Jackson, Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner, and Tom Brady.
Next Monday Night Football, he will need to perform well against the Baltimore Ravens’ formidable defense.
OUTLINE THE END OF THE HALF SCENARIO.
The Lions were driving toward the Chicago 33-yard line with 21 seconds remaining in the second quarter. They had to contend with a 1–10. A diving one-handed grab by rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa was made on a pass lofted by Goff down the right sideline.
The play was first ruled out of bounds, and the clock stopped. However, with 16 seconds remaining, TeSlaa was ruled down by contact. A 10-second runoff to six seconds occurred because the clock was stopped when it shouldn’t have been and the Lions had run out of timeouts.
Detroit managed to run one more play. Goff struck St. In the final seconds of the half, Brown scored a 6-yard touchdown.
Mark Butterworth, NFL Vice President of Instant Replay, told PFWA Pool Reporter Nolan Bianchi following the game, “They ruled that it was a completed catch with the receiver out of bounds.”. Because they declared him out of bounds, the clock was stopped as a result of that decision. The clock would keep running if they decided he was in bounds with the catch.
“In order to verify the catch, which we succeeded in doing, we paused the game through replay. We had his leg in bounds before it went out of bounds, and we verified that the defense had made contact after he had possession of the ball. The clock should therefore have kept running. We therefore ran 10 seconds after resetting the clock to the down by contact time. “,”.
Catches with one hand.
TeSlaa’s two one-handed grabs during these first two weeks of play are among the best catches ever made to start a player’s career.
In Week 1, he made a one-handed touchdown catch in Green Bay, and late in the first half on Sunday, he made a diving one-handed grab that went 29 yards to set up a touchdown.
There’s nothing more to say. The Lions’ head coach, Dan Campbell, made a joke following the game: “That’s the only place to be used.”. “What do we need? Get him in. We need a one-hand catch just before halftime. He has, in my opinion, had two chances and made two plays. Consequently, he will have more opportunities. “,”.
EXTRA POINT.
Two tackles, one quarterback hit, one tackle for loss, and one point-zero sack were all recorded by Aidan Hutchinson. For the 17th consecutive game, he has recorded at least one quarterback hit, tying the franchise record.
