from the Rams for QB Matthew Stafford, Jarod Goff, the former number one overall pick has truly enjoyed a playing renaissance. The 2023 season began promisingly for Jared Goff as he took the field for the Detroit Lions. However, he has recently encountered a rough patch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIn the last two games, Goff’s play has been subpar, leading to a total of six turnovers. Against the Chicago Bears in Week 11, he threw three interceptions, and in Week 12, he lost three fumbles to the Green Bay Packers. It is safe to say that his performance has been far from consistent.<\/span><\/p>\nWhile Goff\u2019s recent struggles might conjure up memories of his lackluster play with the Rams, Goff himself is placing full accountability on his shoulders. While the former Cal Quarterback admits that he is unsure why the turnovers are occurring frequently, he understands the need to take measures to reduce them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nGoff acknowledges that safeguarding the football is his primary responsibility and emphasizes the significance of fulfilling that obligation. And if Goff can hold onto the football, something that he has done well since becoming a Lion, that bodes well for the Lions to win the NFC North.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe Lions Defense Rises Up<\/b><\/h2>\n
In the 2022 late-season surge, the Detroit Lions exhibited remarkable proficiency in applying pressure on their rivals, leading to turnovers. Head coach and former tight end standout, Dan Campbell aspires to reestablish that mindset within the team for the remainder of the season. One reason why rookie Packer Quarterback Jordan Love had his way with the Lions is due to injuries decimating their 21st-ranked defense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nOn the positive side, the Lions defense through eleven games, does have 23 sacks. Defensive Lineman, Aiden Hutchinson has 5.5 sacks and his teammate, Alim McNeil, has five. If these two players can cause enough havoc upfront, or cause opposing offensive coordinators to chip the Tight End or double team, the Lions might be able to dial up more exotic blitzes to pressure opposing Quarterbacks into more interceptions or better yet, pick-sixes. Lions Cornerback, Jerry Jacobs leads the team with three interceptions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Even though the Lions lost on Thanksgiving to their NFC North Rivals, the Packers, the Lions fan base and the premier NFL betting sportsbooks in Michigan, still have the Lions as the favorites to win the NFC North.\u00a0 Although the Lions were outplayed by the Packers, who were both healthier and more talented, it is […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[99],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oracleglobe.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74449"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oracleglobe.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oracleglobe.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oracleglobe.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oracleglobe.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74449"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.oracleglobe.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74449\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74451,"href":"https:\/\/www.oracleglobe.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74449\/revisions\/74451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oracleglobe.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oracleglobe.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oracleglobe.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
