Lions' Jared Goff: Nears 300 passing yards

Goff completed 24 of 38 passes for 299 yards with two touchdowns and eight rushing yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to Chicago.

While Goff actually had a respectable day as a passer, a couple strokes of bad luck doomed Detroit's chances of getting out of Chicago with the divisional win. One was a strip sack and the other was an unlucky snap that bounced off Goff's knee and into the arms of a Bears defensive lineman as he was making an adjustment. However, despite the Lions circling the drain at 0-4, Goff is still completing 68.3 percent of his passes at a high enough volume to average 275 passing yards and nearly two passing touchdowns per game through four weeks. A Week 5 trip to Minnesota isn't the greatest of matchups, but Goff could again benefit from garbage time if Detroit's defense yet again puts the team in an early hole.
