Lions may be able to lean on a Jared Goff-led offense that got its groove back going into bye week

Associated Press  

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions got their groove back offensively going into their bye week. “That’s why you can’t worry about this and that, you can’t start panicking.” Goff’s poor play raised some concerns after the first two games when he had more interceptions than touchdown passes just months after signing a $212 million, four-year contract extension. Williams, one of the NFL’s fastest receivers, is the franchise’s third player to have multiple 50-yard touchdown receptions over the first four games of a season and the first since 1971. He had to deal with what came with the gambling and the time off.” Detroit has won at least three of its first four games in two straight seasons for the first time since 2013-14. “They’ve shown it, they’ve proven it, they proved it again.” ___ Follow Larry Lage at https://twitter.com/larrylage ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
