It was a strong day from Jared Goff, and while it was only modest statistically, it would look a lot better had he not dealt with some drops. He also deserves some credit for avoiding negative plays (zero turnovers, one sack).

Goff's strong Week 1 debut marred by placement issues on key third downs

Goff earned a B+ grade for a strong Week 1 performance despite modest statistics; he avoided negative plays with zero turnovers and one sack, and deserves credit for grip strength on a near-fumble that led to an official's favorable ruling. However, some drops were attributed to less-than-ideal ball placement, particularly two Jameson Williams outside-route incompletions on third down where Goff placed the ball too high and outside.
