QB comparison: Goff finished the game 18-of-29 passing with one touchdown, two interceptions and a 64.9 passer rating. He was sacked five times and lost three fumbles.
Brosmer completed just nine of his 16 pass attempts on the afternoon for 51 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He finished with a 62.2 passer rating and was sacked six times.
Big moment: Detroit had just pulled to within 13-10 with four minutes and 44 seconds left and needed a big stop to give the ball back to the offense for a chance to tie the game or take the lead late.
Instead, a Lions’ defense that had been stingy all afternoon allowed a 65-yard Jordan Addison touchdown run on a jet sweep with just under four minutes left that proved to be the dagger in Detroit’s comeback hopes.
Key stat: It’s tough to win a football game in the NFL losing the turnover battle 6-0. Five Goff turnovers (two interceptions, three fumbles) and a Gibbs fumble were way too much for the Lions to overcome Sunday. The six Lions turnovers are the most in a game this season.
Star performer: Hutchinson recorded his ninth career multi-sack game recording two sacks Thursday to bring his season total to a career-high 13.5 on the season. Hutchinson also chipped in six tackles, three quarterback hits and two tackles for loss.
Injury report: Safety Thomas Harper left the game in the first half to be evaluated for a concussion and did not return. Linebacker Alex Anzalone also left to be evaluated for a concussion in the third quarter and did not return.
Up next: at Chicago (11-4), TBD
