From the article

after Jared Goff overshot Sam LaPorta, the defense was called for an unclear penalty, giving the offense a fresh set of downs. A medium gain from Isaac TeSlaa and a curl to LaPorta put them in field goal range. But Goff misfired again to Brock Wright on third down, and the veteran tight end could not bring in the bobble. Jake Bates drilled the 47-yard field goal to keep hope alive, though. After the second-team defense got a three-and-out stop on the second-team offense on only run plays, the starting offense recaptured the ball with 1:38 left on their own 20-yard line (after a 68-yard Jack Fox punt). On the first play, Goff bobbled a low snap from McLaughlin, and Avonte Maddox came free on a blitz for the sack. Then after two inefficient plays, the Lions faced a fourth-and-long. Goff made a great back shoulder throw to Williams up the left sideline, but Jamo came down out of bounds after the impressive grab. The Lions coaching staff opted to count it anyway—refs clearly called him out of bounds—but it wouldn't matter. After another Aidan Hutchinson sack—his third of the day—Goff threw a desperation ball well behind LaPorta, and Thomas Harper made an impressive drive on the ball for the practice-ending interception.

Goff struggles in situational drill with multiple misfires, sack, and game-ending INT.

Goff had a difficult performance in the situational drill, overshooting Sam LaPorta, misfiring to Brock Wright on third down, bobbling a low snap from McLaughlin leading to an Avonte Maddox sack, and ultimately throwing a desperation interception to Thomas Harper. He did make one great back shoulder throw to Jameson Williams that was ruled out of bounds.
