Jared Goff dismisses poor performance as ‘Outlier’ - shows elite mental toughness after tough loss
While critics focus on batted passes and completion percentage, the Lions quarterback reveals his winning mentality in candid podcast moment: "I don't care if we have 100 yards. If we win the game, it's all that matters.
St. Brown caught just two passes on 12 targets, the fewest passes on that many targets for any wide receiver in the NFL in any game this season.
Another aspect he isn’t sweating is the usually automatic connection with star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Goff threw the ball St. Brown’s way 12 times, but they connected only twice.
Amid the changes to the Goff family in 2025, the Lions have kept rolling. With a win against Jalen Hurts and the Eagles, they could reclaim the top spot in the NFC North standings from the Chicago Bears (7-3). Next week, they have a home game against the New York Giants before hosting the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day.
Jared Goff targeted Amon-Ra St. Brown 12 times in the Detroit Lions' 16-9 loss to Philadelphia. He completed just two of those passes.
The Detroit Lions are likely out of contention for the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC after a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Carter told NBC Sports that they felt like Goff has a low arc release, and they wanted to try to take advantage of those opportunities at the line of scrimmage. Davis doubled his season total in one game. Carter now has 10 since the start of last season, second most in the NFL in that span.
