Jared Goff offers interesting revelation about Lions' resurgent offense

There wasn't much the Detroit Lions' offense did wrong in a 42-29 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night.

Jared Goff was deft in the pocket, going a perfect 18-for-18 with two touchdowns and a receiving score. Both of Detroit's running backs got into the end zone, Jameson Williams showed off his blazing speed with a 70-yard touchdown and Amon-Ra St. Brown impressed with another fantastic catch for a score and the touchdown pass to Goff.

Considering the Lions hadn't scored more than 30 points in a game this season, there was restlessness setting in with the fan base. The offense had looked far from the one that had become a perennial top-five unit under Ben Johnson.

Goff did not have similar questions about when the Lions' offense would get on track.

"I was confident it would happen. Very confident it would happen. You don't know when it's going to happen or when it's going to kind of open up like it did for us tonight. I thought that first half last week was indicative of who we are. To be able to draw on that this week was important. We stumbled in that second half (against Arizona). We talked about it last week. To be able to have a full game that felt like that (first half), that's what you want."

A big reason the Lions looked elite? The performance of their ground game. David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs delivered a fantastic performance, combining for 118 yards and three touchdowns, with the entirety of the damage coming in the first-half. That set the tone for what the Lions were able to do through the air later on.

One particular play summed up Montgomery perfectly. He took a check-down pass from Goff, broke multiple tackles and turned what looked like a short gain into a 40-yard outburst.

"This guy is unbelievable. He is. I would never not block for that guy ever. Because the play is never over with him. He'll keep any play alive. He's a strong runner. He can will himself to make things happen. He's tough. He's relentless. He's resilient. He's everything you want in a back."

Goff echoed that sentiment on Montgomery, crediting him for the fantastic run and catch out of th but giving Gibbs an important shout-out for his work.

"You find a better back than those two guys in the league right now. I can't name one. They're playing their tail off. David (Montgomery) in particular on that play. Being able to check it down to him and he gets a 30 or 40 yard gain or something like that? It's pretty special."

With an elite ground game, a quarterback coming off a perfect performance and wide receivers quietly coming into their own, the Lions have a lot to like heading into their bye week. Goff had a feeling it was only a matter of time before everything came together.
