NFL: The Insiders on Jared Goff

Goff's elite release time positions him to exploit Vikings' historic blitz rate.

Goff faces Minnesota's Brian Flores defense in week eight, which blitzes at 70% (historical high; 85% vs. Daniel Jones last week). However, Goff is equipped to handle this: he holds the ball only four-tenths of a second longer than average when facing pressure—the quickest release in the NFL and fifth quickest since 2018. His quick decision-making and ball security should enable the Lions' number-two scoring offense to counter the number-one scoring defense.
