Sometimes you just know when a play is going to work.
That was the case for Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff last Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Coming out of an injury timeout, Goff huddled with the team, and—as captured on NFL Films’ “Inside the NFL”—he told his team they were about to connect on a big play.
“I don’t know if y’all want to know, but this is the one,” Goff is heard saying to the huddle.
He was right. Goff proceeded to run a perfectly executed play-action rollout. When Goff set his feet, tight end Sam LaPorta was running absolutely free deep in the secondary.
