Goff’s career-high 3 fumbles pave way for Lions’ 29-22 loss to Packers, a game after throwing 3 INTs

Associated Press  

DETROIT — Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff struggled to move his offense consistently for the second game in five days. If we clean a couple things up, I think we’ll get back in a rhythm and be just fine.” In the Lions’ 31-26 win over the Bears on Sunday, Goff threw three interceptions for the first time in three years with the franchise. “The turnovers in the first half have certainly been a problem the last two games that put us behind and subsequently it’s part of the reason we lost today,’’ Goff said. The last two games is not to our standard.” Campbell insisted he’s not in a panic mode as the NFC North-leading Lions lost some of their cushion in the division race. “I probably could’ve got rid of the ball a bit quicker on some of those as well.” Goff and the offense came out firing in the third quarter on a seven-play drive ending with a 6-yard touchdown run by David Montgomery and a 2-point conversion by the running back to close the gap to 23-14.
