Goff's subtle movements and play-action repeatedly beat Packers coverage; completed final drive under pressure.

Goff executed subtle movements and play-action to systematically exploit Packers defense's processing issues. He used a subtle shift before throwing to St. Brown that caused Keisean Nixon to jump the out cut prematurely. Goff had clean protection from Gibbs picking up Javon Bullard's rush, allowing him to survey coverage and deliver to Williams. On a scramble, Goff rolled right and threw back across the field to Williams, who had read the blitz and settled into open space. Late in the game, Goff completed a pass between three defenders while under pressure, getting hit as he released the ball to set up Detroit's game-winning field goal.
