Lions | Two TDs for Jared Goff Mon Oct 13, 01:06 AM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 23 of his 29 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Goff had a touchdown reception from running back David Montgomery taken off the board on Detroit's opening drive by an illegal motion penalty on the trick play where Goff motioned from under center out wide before receiving a pass from Montgomery. Still, Goff has a passing touchdown in 12 straight games, which is the longest streak of his career. He played well, but the offense couldn't find a groove in the second half. The Lions will face the Buccaneers in Detroit on Monday Night Football in Week 7. |

Lions | Jameson Williams limited to two catches Sun Sep 28, 06:20 PM
Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams finished with two receptions for 40 yards in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns despite a team-high eight targets.
| Footballguys view: Williams getting eight targets was promising after he only had 12 in three games going into Week 4, but he dropped one deep ball and couldn't break through for a week-tilting big play against the Browns. We'd expect that to change next week against the hapless Bengals defense. |

Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown posted seven receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns.

Lions | David Montgomery goes nowhere fast Sun Sep 28, 06:11 PM
