With elite weapons in the slot—namely Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta—and a quarterback who is best known for his accuracy, 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).

Elite slot weapon targeted heavily against Saints' Cover-3 scheme; YAC-focused game plan.

LaPorta is positioned as an elite slot weapon who will be heavily targeted by Jared Goff in the Lions' game plan against the Saints' Cover-3 scheme. The Saints run a base 3-4 front with a modified Vic Fangio zone-match coverage that keeps bodies up front and jams passing lanes, creating intermediate-range vulnerabilities. Goff, known for his accuracy, will look to get the ball to LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown in the slot and let them win with yards after the catch (YAC).
