The Vikings rank second in the NFL this season with 36 sacks. They have pressured opposing quarterbacks at the fifth-highest rate in the NFL, according to Pro Football Reference. And in Jared Goff, they faced a quarterback Sunday who's been sacked 30 times and posted one of the league's worst passer ratings when pressured.
Goff dropped back 12 times on the Lions' game-winning drive during Detroit's 29-27 victory over the Vikings. He was pressured just once, when the Vikings sent Nick Vigil and Harrison Smith on a six-man rush with 27 seconds left. Otherwise, the Vikings sent four pass rushers after him seven times and rushed just three on Goff's final four dropbacks, when he completed three passes for 20 yards and hit Amon-Ra St.
