What a day for the Detroit Lions. Who would have thought that Sunday would be the day the Lions would hit the 50 point mark for the first time since 1997? Well, they did that in a 52-14 win over the Titans.
Goff Report
What a weird day for Goff. If I would have told you that Goff would get sacked four times and throw for less than 100 yards, you would have asked me how much they lost by. Yet the Lions scored the most points in a game since Barry Sanders was on the team. Goff didn’t have to do much. The Lions defense and special teams put him on the Titans’ door step multiple times in this game. All he had to do was find a way into the end zone and he and the Lions did five times.
Hooker report
Was hoping to see more from him with an entire quarter to play, but instead the Lions went into clock kill mode. One of these days it would be cool to see the Lions let him open it up a little more in these spots.
Special Teams have a day
It’s not too often that you get to say that special teams had a huge part in winning a game, but they did. A 72-yard kick return from Khalil Dorsey set up a touchdown and then a 64-yard punt return from Kalif Raymond set up another touchdown. Then Kalif Raymond wanted one for himself so he took a 90-yard punt return touchdown to the house. Then Jack Fox did the damn thing when he had to punt and Jake Bates kicked hit a 51-yard field goal. What a day.
