Jared Goff didn’t hold back on Wednesday, providing a candid evaluation of the Detroit Lions’ performance in their season-opening defeat to the Green Bay Packers . The quarterback, 31-of-39 for 225 yards and a touchdown with an interception, made certain where the change begins. Where others would nitpick the numbers or slow start under offensive coordinator John Morton , Goff looked inward and spoke of improved communication, quicker execution, and accountability.
“Yes, just sloppy. It’s gotta be better in the details, and communicate better,” Goff admitted, while addressing the reporters, calling out the team’s play. “It starts with me. I’ve got to communicate better and take a little of the stress off those guys in the communication aspects. And yeah, just be cleaner.
