Nears 300 passing yards Goff completed 24 of 38 passes for 299 yards with two touchdowns and eight rushing yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to Chicago.
Impact While Goff actually had a respectable day as a passer, a couple strokes of bad luck doomed Detroit's chances of getting out of Chicago with the divisional win. One was a strip sack and the other was an unlucky snap that bounced off Goff's knee as he was making an adjustment and into the arms of a Bears defensive lineman. However, despite the Lions circling the drain at 0-4, Goff is still completing 68.3 percent of his passes at a high enough volume to average 275 passing yards and nearly two passing touchdowns per game through four weeks. A Week 5 trip to Minnesota isn't the greatest of matchups, but Goff could again benefit from garbage time if Detroit's defense yet again puts the team in an early hole.

Campbell blames lack of communication for Lions' loss
Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell watched the film of Sunday’s 19-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and there was one thing he wasn’t seeingSEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Held without TD by Ravens Goff completed 22 of 30 passes for 217 yards and added a four-yard rush in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Ravens.
Impact Goff failed to throw a touchdown after totaling five in his first two games with Detroit, but he also played the first turnover-free game of his Lions tenure. He actually had the team in position to win by leading a pair of second-half touchdown drives -- both capped off by short rushing scores -- before Justin Tucker bounced a league-record 66-yard field goal in off the crossbar to win it for the Ravens on the game's final play. Given Goff's lack of receiving weapons, he'll be a QB2 option at best in Chicago in Week 4.
