From the article

QB Jared Goff dropped back to pass midway through the second quarter, and he was quickly met by Saints pass rusher Chase Young, who knocked the ball loose as Goff went to throw. The ball caromed backward nearly 15 yards, and it was picked up and run back for an apparent score by Saints DB Jonas Sanker.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Goff's fumble ruled incomplete pass, negating Saints scoop-and-score TD.

Goff's fumble on a pass attempt midway through the second quarter of the Lions-Saints game was ruled an incomplete pass rather than a fumble after replay review, negating what would have been a Saints scoop-and-score touchdown. The ruling was based on Goff having started his forward throwing motion before contact from Saints pass rusher Chase Young, meaning the ball was deemed a forward pass attempt despite traveling backward nearly 15 yards. This negated what would have been a 7-7 tie and kept the Lions' 7-0 lead intact.
