The Detroit Lions led the Tennessee Titans, 35–14, at halftime of an eventual 52–14 win in Week 8. With such a big lead, NFL MVP candidate Jared Goff must have been having a great game, right?
Amazingly, no! Goff had 28 yards passing, completing 6 of 8 throws, though he had two touchdowns. However, the Lions quarterback had been sacked three times for a loss of 22 yards. That gave Detroit 9 net yards passing at the half.
Goff increased his yardage total slightly in the third quarter, finishing with 85 yards and three touchdowns on 12-for-15 passing.
