PITTSBURGH — The Detroit Lions went into Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers determined to run the ball in soggy conditions, and those plans were amplified when starting quarterback Jared Goff suffered a strained oblique late in the first quarter.
Goff said he injured his side on an underthrown deep pass to Kalif Raymond one play after Julian Okwara intercepted Steelers starter Mason Rudolph.
Goff had minus-1 yard passing in the first quarter and was 11 for 20 for 54 yards passing in regulation.
He finished 14 of 25 for 114 yards as the Lions and Steelers tied on a rainy day at Heinz Field, 16-16.
