Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff returns, call rash of holding penalties 'not fair'

The Detroit Lions suffered another self-inflicted loss Thursday, committing 10 penalties in a 16-14 Thanksgiving defeat to the Chicago Bears.

After the game, Lions quarterback Jared Goff took issue with the amount of holding penalties assessed against the Lions.

"The false starts are absolutely on us," Goff said. "Those can’t happen, but you can call holding on every single play. It’s no excuse. We’ve done it too much and I know those guys are hard on themselves front, but back there they can throw that flag every play. To me, it seemed like it was a little too often on that call.
