INSANE NEWS : NFL offers interesting revelation about Lions resurgent………

There wasn’t much the Detroit Lions’ offense did wrong in a 42-29 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night.Jared Goff was deft in the pocket, going a perfect 18-for-18 with two touchdowns and a receiving score. Both of Detroit’s running backs got into the end zone, Jameson Williams showed off his blazing speed with a 70-yard touchdown and Amon-Ra St. Brown impressed with another fantastic catch for a score and the touchdown pass to Goff.Considering the Lions hadn’t scored more than 30 points in a game this season, there was restlessness setting in with the fan base. The offense had looked far from the one that had become a perennial top-five unit under Ben Johnson.Goff did not have similar questions about when the Lions’ offense would get on track.I was confident it would happen. Very confident it would happen. You don’t know when it’s going to happen or when it’s going to kind of open up like it did for us tonight. I thought that first half last week was indicative of who we are. To be able to draw on that this week was important. We stumbled in that second half (against Arizona). We talked about it last week. To be able to have a full game that felt like that (first half), that’s what you want.Dan Campbell, Jared Goff impressed with Detroit Lions’ resurgent ground gameA big reason the Lions looked elite? The performance of their ground game. David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs delivered a fantastic performance, combining for 118 yards and three touchdowns, with the entirety of the damage coming in the first-half. That set the tone for what the Lions were able to do through the air later on.This guy is unbelievable. He is. I would never not block for that guy ever. Because the play is never over with him. He’ll keep any play alive. He’s a strong runner. He can will himself to make things happen. He’s tough. He’s relentless. He’s resilient. He’s everything you want in a back.”Goff echoed that sentiment on Montgomery, crediting him for the fantastic run and catch out of th but giving Gibbs an important shout-out for his work.One particular play summed up Montgomery perfectly. He took a check-down pass from Goff, broke multiple tackles and turned what looked like a short gain into a 40-yard outburst.This guy is unbelievable. He is. I would never not block for that guy ever. Because the play is never over with him. He’ll keep any play alive. He’s a strong runner. He can will himself to make things happen. He’s tough. He’s relentless. He’s resilient. He’s everything you want in a back.”Goff echoed that sentiment on Montgomery, crediting him for the fantastic run and catch out of th but giving Gibbs an important shout-out for his work.You find a better back than those two guys in the league right now. I can’t name one. They’re playing their tail off. David (Montgomery) in particular on that play. Being able to check it down to him and he gets a 30 or 40 yard gain or something like that? It’s pretty special.”With an elite ground game, a quarterback coming off a perfect performance and wide receivers quietly coming into their own, the Lions have a lot to like heading into their bye week. Goff had a feeling it was only a matter of time before everything came together.For anybody worried about Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff after a somewhat slow start to his 2024 season, they can put those worries to bed at this very moment.Goff had begun the season looking a little off and over his first three games, never surpassed a total QBR over 41.1Then, Monday Night Football happened and Goff quickly made people forget about the early season rust.Against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night, Goff set the football field on fire, finishing a perfect 18-of-18 for 292 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions and even added a receiving touchdown on a sweet play and pass from wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.On a night where the Lions dropped 42 points on the Seahawks, there were a lot of excellent performances to highlCampbell went on to note that he knew Goff played a “heck of a game” but did not realize he was perfect.In the end, on a night like this one, all can be forgiven considering the monstrous performance the Lions put on as a team. And of course, we all know how much Campbell loves his quarterback.ight. However, none were more impressive than Goff’s. For that, you’d think Goff would have walked away with a game ball, right?Go ahead and search for any gif entitled “oopsie,” and throw it in right about now. Following the game, head coach Dan Campbell was asked about Goff’s perfect performance and quickly realized he had made a mistake.Well, I just gave the game ball to somebody else. So I feel awful right now,” Campbell told reporters as the room echoed with belly laughter.After not looking quite as sharp early this season as he did for much of last season, Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks felt like an important game for Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff. He didn’t have to be perfect, and live up to his nickname on his Pro Football Reference page (“Mr. Perfect”). He just needed to be sharper than he was over the first three games of the season.And sharp Goff was, with a second straight perfect first half (12-for-12) on his way to finishing the Lions’ 42-29 win 18-for-18 for 292 yards and two touchdowns. He had a 155.8 passer rating, so it’s hard to know what he had to do to earn a perfect 158.3 rating. Or, as head coach Dan Campbell acknowledged after the game, a game ball for his performance.
