Why It Matters: This past Sunday, the Lions got off to a fast start and barely held on. On Thursday night, Goff and company got off to a slow start and could never fully find their way back into the game. The second scenario worked out better for Goff, however, as he had his first game with more than three touchdown passes since Week 2 last season when he torched the Bears for 334 yards and five TDs. Goff is capable of these kinds of outings, but he'll also author his share of games with less than 250 yards and one score. Since he adds no value with his legs, Goff teeters on the edge of QB1 status and is someone you'll need to pick your spots with based on matchups.
