Taylor Decker: ‘Ridiculous’ Jared Goff Scapegoated
The Detroit Lions bounced back from a loss to the Chicago Bears, with a resounding blowout win over the Denver Broncos in Week 15.
A big reason for the team’s success was quarterback Jared Goff, who tossed five touchdowns while avoiding the turnovers that have set the offense back in recent weeks.
Goff completed 24-of-34 yards for 278 yards and five touchdowns in Saturday’s game. The Lions made the most of it, scoring on five consecutive drives midway through the game.
Taylor Decker, who is the most tenured member of the Lions (as a 2016 draft pick of the organization), saw the criticism being made of his starting quarterback following his recent struggles.
Speaking after Saturday’s win, the Ohio State product voiced his displeasure for the way that the team’s quarterback has been portrayed in recent weeks.
