Lions rookies combined for five touchdowns on Saturday night, and Jared Goff cooked as the Detroit Lions blew out the Denver Broncos on Saturday.
These are not the Detroit Lions we have grown accustomed to.
They are high-powered on offense, and they showed as such with their 42-17 victory over the Denver Broncos on Saturday night.
In the second quarter, Jared Goff threw touchdowns to his home run hitters: Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Amon-Ra St. Brown – all while the Lions defense forced four Broncos punts and an interception.
Denver’s first drive of the second half ended with a Lil’Jordan Humphrey touchdown, but Detroit answered right back with LaPorta’s second touchdown of the game. Denver settled for a field goal, but then, it was Gibbs finding the end zone for a second time with just over 12 minutes remaining.
