Lions should hope Giants ignore Eagles' elite Jared Goff game-planning

The Detroit Lions were dealt a plethora of blows from the Philadelphia Eagles' defense in their Week 11 loss to the Super Bowl defending champions, but the most obvious ones came in the air.

Jared Goff was barely able to get anything going in the passing game, posting a QBR of just 9.5. His 255 passing yards were mostly thanks to the speed of both Jameson Williams and Jahmyr Gibbs on the night, as he completed just 14 of his 37 pass attempts during Sunday Night Football.

That was by design. The Eagles' pass rush wasn't just looking to get to Goff, but to his passes.
