Goff's elite EPA in play-action, intermediate, and hold time faces Packers' elite defense.

Jared Goff has operated like a surgeon in three key aspects of the passing game: using play action (+0.37 EPA/dropback, 2nd this season), intermediate passing (+0.96 EPA/dropback, 1st), and throwing after holding the ball for 2.5 or more seconds (+0.27 EPA/dropback, 1st). However, those are also the areas where the Packers' defense has thrived. Green Bay ranks ninth against play-action passes (-0.09 EPA/dropback), first against intermediate throws (-0.33 EPA/dropback), and seventh when opposing quarterbacks hold the ball for 2.5 or more seconds (-0.23 EPA/dropback). It'll be strength against strength in this matchup, and whoever comes out on top could go a long way toward controlling the game.
