3. Can Goff keep rolling?
Jared Goff completed all 18 passes he attempted in the Lions’ Week 4 win over the Seattle, an NFL record for most completions in a game without a miss.
Goff has now completed 19 straight passes overall and needs to open today’s game against the Cowboys with seven straight completions to break the NFL record of 25 straight completions held by Ryan Tannehill, Marcus Mariota, Philip Rivers and Nick Foles.
“He knows exactly what we’re looking for, he knows what the bad looks are too,” Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson said of Goff this week. “He knows why each play is being called and the premier look for that play, but he also knows what could give us some issues, and so just his general awareness of how to make things right now when I’m not timing things up quite right – it’s been really impressive.
“And so, we’re getting into our own rhythm, just our week to week, what does a Tuesday look like as we’re starting into the week, a Wednesday, Thursday, and he and I like to close the door in the early evenings and just make sure we’re squared away. And so, I think we’re getting into a nice groove between the two of us as well.”
