Jared Goff Throws Touchdown, Commits Two Turnovers in Win

Tuesday, October 21, 12:54 AM

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 20 of 29 passes for 241 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding two rushes for seven yards in Monday night's 24-9 win over Tampa Bay. He also took four sacks for a loss of 26 yards and lost a fumble. Outside of a few mistakes, Goff once again distributed the ball effectively to his elite group of weapons, connecting with Amon-Ra St. Brown for a 27-yard touchdown in the first quarter and connecting with the explosive Jahmyr Gibbs three times for 82 yards. In a game where the ground game averaged over five yards per carry and Detroit's defense dominated Baker Mayfield, the Lions didn't need to throw the ball a lot. With the ground game averaging over five yards per carry and Detroit's defense stifling Baker Mayfield, the Lions didn't need to rely heavily on the passing attack. Goff and the Lions will ride into their Week 8 bye on a positive note.

Baker Mayfield Looks to Rebound in Week 8

Friday, October 24, 4:56 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee, oblique) is ready to go for the Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Mayfield is a little banged up right now, but that's not going to stop him from suiting up. The 28-year-old wasn't able to offer much to fantasy managers last week. Mayfield threw for 228 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception in the loss to the Detroit Lions. As always, Mayfield will be playing shorthanded with Chris Godwin (leg), Mike Evans (collarbone), and Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) all sidelined. However, the Bucs will still have Emeka Egbuka, so Mayfield should be able to offer QB1 value against the below average Saints defense.
