From the article

The Lions' pass offense is coming off perhaps its most impressive performance. The Packers pass defense was the best they've played against so far, and they posted an impressive 119.7 passer rating and a really good 57.1% dropback success rate (sixth best of the week).

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Goff's elite pass offense faces Vikings' top defense; strong blitz management bodes well.

Goff's Lions pass offense ranks first in passer rating (112.5), second in dropback EPA (0.309), fifth in yards per attempt (8.0), and fourth in dropback success rate (51.8%) for the season. Last week against the Packers' top-five pass defense, Detroit posted 119.7 passer rating and 57.1% dropback success rate (sixth best of the week). Against the blitz, the Lions rank first in EPA/pass (+0.25), fifth in pressure percentage (35.1%), and eighth in sack percentage (5.4%), positioning Goff well to manage Minnesota's historic 68.4% blitz rate.
