Dan Campbell on Jared Goff: No worries about five INTs, he didn’t have a bad game

When Lions quarterback Jared Goff addressed his teammates after Sunday night’s comeback win over the Texans, he said the game taught the “lesson that it’s not over yet until it’s over.”

Goff had a hand in making that comeback happen and he had a hand in creating the need for it. Goff threw five interceptions against Houston, but head coach Dan Campbell isn’t concerned about the performance as the team heads into this weekend’s game against the Jaguars.

During a Tuesday appearance on 97.1 The Ticket, Campbell said Goff is “doing exactly what we ask of him” and that the lack of “thoughtless throws” doesn’t leave him concerned about his quarterback.

“None,” Campbell said. ‘Everyone goes to think we are crazyyou’re going to think I’m crazy. I’m telling you, he didn’t have a bad game. He played a very good game.”

You can imagine the reaction might be a little different if the Lions had finished as losers in Houston, but the winning excuses a lot of flaws and Goff’s five-week run without an interception leading up to Week 10 makes it easier to conclude to be written as a deviation as Good.
