Overview
- Detroit managed 246 total yards and just 46 rushing yards on 22 carries, failing to score a touchdown until the final minute.
- Jared Goff went 31-of-39 for 225 yards with one touchdown and one interception as Green Bay generated heavy interior pressure with nine hits and four sacks, limiting his average depth of target to 4.2 yards per PFF.
- The Lions’ reworked interior line struggled in its first game without retired Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow, with guards Christian Mahogany and rookie Tate Ratledge credited with multiple sacks and pressures and communication issues surfacing on silent counts.
- Execution sagged in key situations as Detroit finished 1-for-4 in the red zone and 5-for-15 on third down, including an interception by Evan Williams on a Micah Parsons-pressured throw.
- Campbell said the staff “put too much on their plate,” defended Morton’s debut as dependent on restoring the run, and urged patience as players and coaches emphasized urgency to improve rather than panic.
