From the article

STACKED’s take
Goff's elite efficiency and blitz conversion rate position him for success against Panthers' aggressive defense.
Goff has been sensational through the first three weeks, sporting the third-highest passer rating in the NFL at 116.1 and producing 0.22 EPA per dropback (seventh-best). He's been efficient against zone coverage (0.17 EPA, 13th), man coverage (0.54 EPA, 8th), in the red zone (0.55 EPA, 8th), and against the blitz (0.29 EPA, 8th). Against the Panthers' 44.4% overall blitz rate and 37.6% on passing plays, Goff is completing 75.8% of his passing attempts against the blitz (5th best) for 8.0 yards per attempt (10th) and four touchdowns. Last week he was flawless against the blitz against the Jets, completing all 14 of his passing attempts for 148 yards and a touchdown. The source predicts Goff will beat the Panthers blitz and thrive by taking what's given, with his accuracy and risk-averse passes allowing Detroit to sustain drives and put up points.
