Yahoo Sports NFL on Jared Goff
From the article
he might need to check the latest FDA recall list before preparing Sunday's recipe, because those are also the areas where the Packers' defense has thrived. Green Bay, from an EPA/dropback standpoint, ranks ninth against play-action passes (-0.09), first against intermediate throws (-0.33), and seventh when opposing quarterbacks hold the ball for 2.5 or more seconds (-0.23).
STACKED’s take
Goff's elite intermediate passing faces Packers' top-ranked intermediate defense.
Goff faces a strength-versus-strength matchup against the Packers' elite pass defense. Goff has excelled in three key passing areas: 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+ seconds (+0.27 EPA/dropback, 1st). However, the Packers' defense ranks ninth against play-action (-0.09 EPA/dropback), first against intermediate throws (-0.33 EPA/dropback), and seventh against holds of 2.5+ seconds (-0.23 EPA/dropback). The source notes it will be intriguing to see whether the Lions adjust their passing approach to attack Green Bay's cornerbacks and linebackers rather than continually challenging the Packers' defensive strengths.
