    Dan Campbell is unaware of Jared Goff’s perfect game: ‘I feel terrible’

    Jared Goff’s perfect evening came to an imperfect end.

    The Lions defeated the Seahawks in their Week 4 “Monday Night Football” game largely on the back (actually the arm) of Jared Goff. The Detroit quarterback finished the game with a perfect 18-for-18 passing for 292 yards and two touchdowns. Oh, he also made a receiving TD in the game.

    You’d think such a feat would surely earn Goff the ceremonial game ball, right? Well, Lions head coach Dan Campbell was oblivious to Goff’s 18-for-18 night, which gave way to a pretty big game. Oops in the Lions locker room postgame.

    “I just gave the game ball to someone else,” Campbell said after the win. “So I feel terrible now.

    “I knew he had a great game. I didn’t know he was perfect. I didn’t know he was literally 18 for 18.”

    Campbell laughed it off, but also went out of his way to praise his quarterback, despite not knowing Goff finished with a perfect performance.

    The Lions were making mincemeat of the Seahawks by halftime, but a competitive, back-and-forth third quarter left the game on the verge of ending. Finally, a Goff throw to Amon-Ra St. Brown put the Lions ahead for good.

    The question remains: if not Goff, then who? Well, the game ball went to Detroit safety Kerby Joseph and wideout Jameson Williams. Joseph grabbed the game-sealing interception, while Williams picked off two passes for 80 yards, one of which was a catch-and-run 70 yards to the end zone for a TD.

    Those Lions are certainly worthy receivers: But the biggest – and only – incompletion of the Lions night was Campbell not throwing that game ball to Goff.
