HIGHLIGHT: Goff's TD to St. Brown at buzzer secures Lions' first win Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff's TD to wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown at buzzer secures Lions' first win of '21.
Detroit Free Press The Detroit Lions escaped infamy, overcame injuries and pulled Dan Campbell out of bubbling vat of second-guessing to notch their first win of 2021.

Amon-Ra St. Brown - Snags game-winning touchdown St. Brown caught 10 of 12 targets for 86 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 29-27 win over Minnesota.
Impact Without D'Andre Swift (shoulder) in the fold, St. Brown delivered as a secondary short-range option en route to career highs in nearly every receiving category. While he made a number of nice catches throughout the day, no play was bigger than his first career touchdown reception that came as time expired. However, not only was this just the fourth time that St. Brown has topped four receptions or 50 receiving yards, but Josh Reynolds seemed like Jared Goff's preferred down-field target. The fourth-round rookie could have a hard time building upon this performance in Week 14 against Denver.

Jamaal Williams - Totals 80 yards in Swift's absence Williams rushed 17 times for 71 yards while catching his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 29-27 win over the Vikings.
Impact While Williams clearly operated as the lead running back in the absence of D'Andre Swift (shoulder), he was hardly used as a receiver after seeing five targets in Swift's absence last week. However, the fact that Detroit surprisingly played with a two-score lead for parts this game probably played a role in that development. With Swift seemingly in line to miss a second game in Week 14 against Denver, look for Williams to get another huge workload with more upside as a receiver than he showed against Minnesota.

Jared Goff threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown as time expired, lifting the previously winless Detroit Lions to a 29-27 win over the Minnesota VikingsDECEMBER 5, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jared Goff - Throws walkoff touchdown Goff completed 25 of 41 passes for 296 yards with three touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 29-27 win over Minnesota.
Impact Despite playing without D'Andre Swift (shoulder), Goff put together his best game of the season and played nearly half of it with a two-score lead. While a lack of success on third downs eventually allowed the Vikings to claim the lead with under two minutes remaining, Goff ultimately led an improbable touchdown drive that ended with a touchdown strike to Amon-Ra St. Brown as time expired. However, this marked Detroit's first win of the season and Goff still ranks near the bottom of the league with 6.5 yards per pass attempt. Additionally, he still has one or less pass touchdowns in over half of his games this season while offering minimal rushing upside. Despite the short term success, Goff will remain an inadvisable fantasy option in Week 14 against Denver.
