CARTED OFF. D

DAN SKIPPER IS IN THE GAME. OPEN TO LAPORTA, HE’S GOT IT, HIS FIRST ENVNFL TOUCHDOWN!

GET THAT FOOTBALL FOR THE MANTEL!

>> Mark: HE COMES THE OPPOSITE WAY, WIDE OPEN. THEY HAVE BEEN A GOOD FIRST QUARTER SCORING TEAM.

AND TOUCHDOWN, SAM LaPORTA FROM JARED GOFF! >> Daryl: ONE OF THE THINGS HAVE YOU TO DO IS CONTAIN BRIAN BURNS

AND THAT IS JOSH REYNOLDS, A WIDE RECEIVER COMING DOWN AND PUSHING HIM AND WASHING HIM PAST THE POCKET.

THAT ALSO MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR SAM FRANKLIN TO GET IN COVERAGE THROWING LANE. >> Chris: JACOBS HAS PLAYED

WELL. EMMANUEL MOSELEY GOT PLAYING TIME BEFORE BEING INJURED. BACK TO JARED GOFF AND WIDE OPEN

AND HE TAKES IT INTO THE ZONE. THAT IS A LIONS TOUCHDOWN! A LITTLE TRICK BY BUT TWO FOR SAM LaPORTA TODAY!

HOW MANY TIMES YOU SEE RECEIVERS RUN THROUGH ZONES AND RUN THEMSELVES INTO COVERAGE? PART OF THAT IS LaPORTA AND PART

IS REALLY GOOD COACHING BY BEN JOHNSON.

>> Joe: THEY PUT TWO SECONDS BACK ON THE CLOCK. THERE HE IS, THE ROOKIE, LaPORTA, AND THE LIONS HAVE

22-YEAR-OLD SECOND-ROUND PICK FROM IOWA.

WE’RE GETTING EVIDENCE AS TO WHY HERE TONIGHT. >> Troy: YOU’LL SEE HIS ROUTE. WATCH JARED GOFF WHEN HE TURNS

THIS LOOSE. HE STARTS TO THROW IT AND HE’S

DOWN 7-0, AND IT’S SECOND AND GOAL.

GOFF, OVER THE MIDDLE. FIRES.

IT’S CAUGHT FOR THE TOUCHDOWN, SAM LaPORTA. EVERYONE IS THINKING BRING IN BIG BODIES, PERSONNEL.

WHAT DO THEY DO? THEY SPREAD THEM OUT AND THROW IT SHORT TO SAM LaPORTA. WE JUST TALKED ABOUT HIS ROUTE

RUNNING, HIS ABILITY IN ZONE. HE’S A GOOD TIGHT END THAT’S STARTS TO ROLL ON YOU. >> Joe: AGAINST A SAINTS’

DEFENSE THAT WAS SO GOOD EARLY ON THIS SEASON, TRYING TO GET BACK TO THAT. THEY RUSH FOUR ON THIRD AND SIX.

GOFF LETS IT RIP. A TOUCHDOWN TO LaPORTA! TWO DRIVES, TWO SCORES, AND A MARVELOUS START TO THIS GAME FOR

DETROIT. >> Daryl: THIS IS FANTASTIC. >> Daryl: THIS IS FANTASTIC. IT’S COMING RIGHT AROUND A

POST-UP SITUATION. SAM LaPORTA IN MOTION. DEMARIO DAVIS, WATCH HIM JUMP THAT ROUTE RIGHT THERE.

SAM LaPORTA COMES IN BEHIND HIM, JUST OPENS UP THAT THROWING LANE FOR JARED GOFF. >> Joe: IT IS A HAYMAKER OUT OF

Zone. Goff is off to a terrific start. Ten of 14 101 first and ten Gibbs was in motion outside it goes Laporta gets by Josey Jewell to the pylon. 18 yard touchdown pass by Goff to his

Celebrated rookie tight end Sam Laporta. I love the design of this play. Watch out of the left. But Denver’s defense all over it, forcing the throw away. Third and goal. It is Goff well

Poured on. Touchdown. Touchdown Detroit Lions Kevin Goff the rookie Sam Laporta has just 20. Well this same concept three touchdown passes in a row. You clear out the inside guy. The

As as the head coach. Fourth and two. Goff to the end zone. Touchdown on third. Time to Laporta. He is putting on a show . Lions got the ball nine times and Goff with five touchdown
