Goff completed 23 of 28 passes for 334 yards, with five touchdowns and no interceptions. Three of those touchdown passes went to St. Brown, who caught nine passes for 115 yards. Jameson Williams only caught two passes, but they went for 64 and 34 yards. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery each had a rushing touchdown. The Lions were getting contributions from all over the place.

Caleb Williams completed 19 of 30 passes for 207 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, showing flashes of talent but also struggling for long stretches of the game, just as he did in the Bears’ Week One loss.
