Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 23 of 29 passes for 203 yards but did not attempt a pass that traveled more than 20 yards downfield.
On the television broadcast, rules analyst Terry McCauley quickly informed viewers, "He (Goff) takes a position behind the center. He’s got to step back and pause for a second and establish as a back before he goes in motion. He didn’t. He stayed in motion. This is illegal. This is an illegal formation.”
And then the fun ended. After discussing the play officials called the Lions for an illegal motion penalty. It was explained on the NBC broadcast that after Goff went under center, he had to take a step back and pause before going in motion. He didn't do that, and the penalty flag was thrown.
It’s been quite the year for Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff and his wife, Christen Harper Goff. That has been the case on and off the field.

Sports personality Colin Cowherd gave a very strong statement about how Lions quarterback Jared Goff's career has progressed.
