In a consistently convincing Lions team, other players besides St. Brown knew how to shine: Running back David Montgomery scored two touchdowns through running plays, quarterback Jared Goff also had outstanding values: 24 of 29 passes were received, he threw for a total of 412 yards, gaining space and delivering the pass for four touchdowns. Before Goff was rested in the final quarter, the Lions scored a touchdown at the end of each offensive series – and allowed the Jaguars only two field goals.
