00:00 Jared Goff got back into the swing of things throwing five touchdowns in the Lions victory over the Denver Broncos.
00:06 Here today to analyze his performance is SIL Lions' John Macrin.
00:10 John, in your opinion, how did Jared Goff look against the Broncos?
00:13 Yeah, Cam, prior to the game all Lions had a bold prediction in which I kind of had a feeling that Jared Goff was going to rebound.
00:20 Based on all the noise surrounding the team, based on the play of the offensive line that hasn't lived up to the billing,
00:27 you had an injured Frank Ragnall returning.
00:30 I had a feeling that in the comfy confines of Ford Field, Jared Goff would rebound.
00:36 And I predicted in my bold prediction at all Lions that Goff would toss four touchdown passes,
00:41 but if everything went exceptionally well, maybe could have tied his career high, which was five.
00:47 And boy, did that come to fruition.
00:49 And really, you look at it in a myriad of ways as to why Goff was successful.
00:54 One, the pocket was cleaner. I think the offensive line really took it to heart that they haven't been playing as well as they're capable of.
01:03 Getting Frank Ragnall back, really an offensive captain, a warrior, someone that is willing to return,
01:09 even after a surgery not even 15 days ago.
01:12 It's so wild to think about in regards to Ragnall's toughness.
01:16 You look at the offense and they just played a much cleaner game. They were more explosive.
01:21 And when you have a run game, Cam, it really does help your offense.
01:26 When you look at the duo of Jameer Gibbs and David Montgomery, among the best in the National Football League,
01:33 Jameer Gibbs is emerging. You're starting to see him be able to recognize where to follow the tackles,
01:40 where running in between the tackles, his explosiveness, his speed, his definitely, I think,
01:46 he started to quiet the critics who said that, "Why would the Lions take a running back in the first round?"
01:52 Well, when you got a running back that can get chunk yards, average over five yards a carry, that opens things up for Jared Goff.
01:59 And when you look at Goff's offensive weapons, there are a plethora of players on the Lions who have over six touchdowns this year.
02:07 So for Jared Goff, he had a stellar performance, a comeback performance against the Broncos,
02:12 five touchdown passes, tying a career high.
02:16 John, truly a complete game for quarterback Jared Goff. Thanks for all the insight.
