The Detroit Lions surprised some of the NFL-world in the 2023 season-opener on Thursday Night Football when they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 21-20. Former Los Angeles Rams quarterback, Jared Goff improved to 2-0 against Patrick Mahomes and continued his streak of 324 consecutive passes without throwing an interception.
While Goff had a solid game against the Chiefs, completing 22-of-35 passes for 235 yards and a touchdown, there was one play with a missed opportunity that is worth discussing. It’s a play that demonstrated exactly why the Rams traded for Matthew Stafford.
