Jared Goff’s Next Gen Stats chart from Lions’ win has an unbelievable hidden message for Ben Johnson that you have to see
If there was one narrative that was widely thrown around about the Detroit Lions last week, it was the one about Jared Goff not surviving without Ben Johnson or Sean McVay.

The Lions came out swinging against the Bears and threw multiple knockout punches in this one, and it was Jared Goff who was landing all the haymakers. He completed 82.1% of his passes for 334 yards, five touchdowns, and a perfect 156.0 passer rating against the guy he was supposedly not supposed to be good without.

Tell me that doesn’t look like a middle finger. You got your five touchdowns there. Four of them look like the pink, index, ring finger, and thumb, and then that big 42-yard touchdown to Jameson Williams is the big bird to Johnson and the Bears. What a masterpiece.
