Jared Goff hits lowest point since 2017 in loss to Eagles
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff they couldn’t start anything on Sunday because they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 16-9in a defense-oriented affair at Lincoln Financial Field.
Goff found wide receiver Jameson Williams for a 40-yard touchdown in the second quarter. However, that would be their only goal of the game. Goff went 14-of-37 for 255 yards. He was intercepted once and sacked twice.
The Lions failed to convert on each of their five fourth-down attempts, and the 31-year-old Goff, usually gifted with poise, struggled uncharacteristically on tight plays.
ESPN’s Tim McManus pointed out that he is a four-time Pro Bowler he was 0-of-12 as he passed under duress.
“The last QB with 12 tackles and zero forced completions was Blake Bortles in 2017,” McManus added.
The Lions, who fell to 6-4, were also 3-of-13 on third down attempts as coach Dan Campbell called the plays on offense in place of offensive coordinator John Morton for the second straight game.
After the disappointing loss to the Eagles, Campbell could hand the playmaking duties back to Morton, but that’s just speculation at this point.
One of Goff’s favorite targets, running back Amon-Ra St. Brown, too, struggled, recording just two receptions for 42 yards.
Goff had a great game in their Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders, going 25-of-33 for 320 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions.
The Lions have yet to absorb back-to-back losses this season, and knowing Goff, he will take it upon himself to make sure they get back in the win column when they host the New York Giants next week.
