One thing that made Matthew Stafford so much fun to watch when he was the Detroit Lions quarterback was the way he manipulated defenders with his eyes and often made jaw-dropping, no-look passes.
On Wednesday morning, former Lions quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky was cutting up Lions tape and noticed a play from Jared Goff this past week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that looked like something taken right from Stafford’s arsenal.
The play: a third-and-4 from the Lions’ own 33-yard line in the third quarter. The Lions are only up 10-6 at the time, and this drive would eventually end up resulting in a Jameson Williams touchdown that essentially put the game away.
