The last touchdown the Lions had Sunday, Goff’s 8-yard pass to wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, wasn’t the call from the booth. Goff changed the play and the protections at the line of scrimmage.
Goff saw the look from Cleveland’s defense earlier in the game and Detroit didn’t have the right protection set up. He changed it this time and got into a perfect play for an easy touchdown.
“He changed everything,” Campbell said of Goff before the snap. “He changed the protection, changed the play call and he got us into the perfect freaking play. That’s all him. He recognized it and communicated it and those guys executed it.”
The Lions lost both starting outside cornerbacks D.J. Reed (hamstring) and Terrion Arnold (shoulder) to injury Sunday.
“Well, I told Brad (Holmes), the good news is we have seven days until the next game instead of six, that’s the good news,” Campbell said after the game. “You know we all saw Reed’s, I don’t know what that’s going to be or how long, I mean certainly I cannot imagine him playing next week, at a minimum, until we get more tests done.
“And I don’t think T.A. is a major thing. Now, I don’t know – there again, I don’t know about him next week, but it’s certainly not as significant as what, you know, as what Reed had.”
