Lions QB Jared Goff’s 37 pass attempts were the second most by the team this season, only surpassed by 39 in Week 1. Both games accounted for two of the Lions’ three losses. The volume was enough to support WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (9-97-0 on 13 targets) and TE Sam LaPorta (6-97-1 on 8 targets). It also creates a bounce-back game for WR Jameson Williams with a 4-66-1 stat line on 6 targets.

Lions QB Jared Goff assembled an ultra-efficient outing in a Week 5 win vs. the Bengals. He delivered 258 yards, 3 TDs, and 0 INTs on an 82.6% completion rate.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown told reporters Thursday that he had a knee operation after the season "to clean some stuff up," according to the Detroit Free Press. He added that he expects to be ready for the start of training camp.

The Lions named John Morton their new OC. He'll replace Ben Johnson, who took the Bears HC job after leading Detroit to three straight top-five finishes in both points and total yards. Morton was a senior offensive assistant for Johnson's first Lions squad in 2022 before spending the last two years as Broncos passing game coordinator. His only previous OC experience came at USC in 2009 and 2010 and with the Jets in 2017. That Jets team -- quarterbacked by Josh McCown and Bryce Petty -- ranked 28th in total yards and 24th in points. We won't hold that against Morton. He'll now be working with one of the most loaded offenses in the league, although it's fair to expect some dropoff in play-calling from Johnson to Morton.

Lions RB David Montgomery injured his right MCL in Sunday's loss to the Bills and will be out indefinitely. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it's a tear and that Montgomery might be out through the playoffs. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports it as a sprain but adds that Montgomery will have further testing. Whatever the specific diagnosis and return timeline, it seems a pretty safe bet that Montgomery will miss the rest of the regular season.
