Lions' Offensive Firepower


The Detroit Lions showcased an unstoppable offensive force, amassing a total of 645 yards. Quarterback Jared Goff delivered an impeccable performance with 412 passing yards and four touchdowns, achieving a perfect passer rating of 158.3. His connection with wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was particularly lethal; St. Brown racked up 161 receiving yards on 11 receptions and found the end zone twice.

Defensive Dominance and Special Teams


The defense played no small part in this comprehensive win, limiting Jacksonville to just six points throughout the game. Kerby Joseph's interception highlighted their ability to disrupt Jacksonville's offense effectively. Additionally, Jack Campbell made his presence felt by contributing half a sack among his nine combined tackles.


Special teams also shone brightly for Detroit; Jake Bates nailed all seven extra-point attempts and added three field goals from beyond fifty yards out to cap off an all-around performance by every unit on the team.
