Jared Goff's throwing accuracy has tailed off this season, with his Completion% falling off from 66.2% to 55.3%.
The Detroit Lions offensive line has given their QB just 2.53 seconds before the pass (8th-worst in football since the start of last season), which has a harmful impact on all air attack statistics across the board.
