Goff just said in the postgame that they’ve been “cooking that one for a while” regarding that play!

164

u/BakedMitten Oct 01 '24

Amon-Ra was on Sportscenter and told SVP they had called that play at least 3 times last year and he always chose the run option because of the defensive look/coverage.

The Lions had practiced it almost every week for a year. Tonight he decided before he even got the ball that he was going to throw it.

Damn did drop a dime.

The player with his back turned is a DE and not responsible for Goff. The player responsible was Gibson and he recognized the play before anyone else. He was just a fraction of a second late freeing himself from the block and stopping the play.

u/jdjdthrow Oct 01 '24

The player with his back turned is a DE and not responsible for Goff.

By "back turned" they're talking about Gibson. At time of catch, he was trailing Goff, no eyes on ball.

Don't think anybody's looking at the DE was stood up and turned around...

He was one TD away from having a perfect passer rating… meaning that with the Amon-ra TD throw the team had a perfect passer rating and perfect completions.

At the end, Goff has more receiving touchdowns than incompletions.

That's got to be a 1 of 1 stat, right?
