Jared Goff will likely spend most of this game looking to get the ball in his playmakers' hands and letting them win with yards after the catch (YAC). While this approach from the Lions will require Goff to be consistently accurate and make smart decisions, that's right in his wheelhouse.

Goff's accuracy and YAC-focused approach suits elite slot weapons against Saints' Cover-3.

Against the Saints' base 3-4 front with Cover-3 coverage (nearly half their defensive snaps in 2025) and multiple linebackers in the intermediate range, Goff will likely spend most of the game looking to get the ball in his playmakers' hands and letting them win with yards after the catch (YAC). This approach requires Goff to be consistently accurate and make smart decisions, which is right in his wheelhouse. With elite weapons in the slot—namely Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta—Goff has the offensive weapons to put pressure on the Saints' scheme.
