00:00Let's flip to the Lions side of things because this is just, this is Lions football this year.

00:04They're scoring 30 plus points, they're winning games, 11 game win streak for them.

00:07Jared Goff, amazing game from him. 283 in the air, three touchdowns, he did have the one interception.

00:1432 completions, 41 passing attempts, he goes over all of his props, overs on everything.

00:20Completions, attempts, yards, NTDs, the yards you could have altered up and still cashed on that.

00:26Absolutely fantastic stuff from Goff this season. He has been largely fantastic.

00:32Every single game outside of that game on Sunday night versus Houston, when he had all the interceptions,

00:37obviously still come away with the win, but it has been smooth sailing essentially for Goff.

00:42Let's get to the running back room after Goff's big performance.

00:46Again, modest stuff overall from the running back room, what we kind of spoke about on the pregame show.

00:52Montgomery, four for 51, the one rushing touchdown. Gibbs, 15 for 43.

00:58He did have a receiving touchdown, which is always good to see them both getting involved.

01:03We saw both running backs run for at least 40 yards and both running backs also have at least 30 yards in the receiving game.

01:09That's obviously where Gibbs' touchdown came from in the receiving game.

01:13Both Adam and I spoke about David Montgomery specifically going over 14.5 or 15.5 for his receiving yards.

01:19He ends with 33.

01:21Now, the exciting part of the Lions' offense today was Tim Patrick coming away with two touchdowns.

01:28If you watch the pregame show, you notice that we didn't mention Tim Patrick at all.

01:32I spoke heavily about Jameson Williams going over his yards, which he hit going over his longest reception.

01:37He hit two of the three straight bets that I spoke about, one.

01:40Sam Laporta coming away with a big game, 54 receiving yards.

01:43The five catches from him, I think, is really important. The fact that he's getting seven targets.

01:48A little bit of a slow game from St. Brown.

01:50His yardage was up in the 70s. He ends with only 43 with the five catches.

01:54No touchdown from him. I was specifically high on St. Brown today.

01:57And Williams, you know, coming through with Williams.

02:00Tim Patrick, though, six catches for 43 yards and the two touchdowns, I think, is the most surprising.

02:06What's also surprising on top of that is the fact that he had seven targets.

02:09So now we're seeing a little bit of balance in the Lions' passing offense.

02:13Up until this point in the season, it was really just St. Brown.

02:16We got some Williams. We got some Laporta.

02:18And then it was the running backs with Gibbs and Montgomery.

02:21Now they're getting Tim Patrick in the mix.

02:23And from a real offense standpoint, like, this is awesome.

02:27They have so many options on offense.

02:29They have four legitimate pass catchers with St. Brown, Williams, Laporta, and now Tim Patrick.

02:34That's just receivers. We're not even talking about the running backs yet.

02:37Add in the two running backs and the Lions have so many options on offense that, you know,

02:42today's the Tim Patrick game. It's a little bit of a Jameson Williams game.

02:45I will say this does make things potentially a little bit tricky when it comes to a prop perspective

02:51because no matter what stats we look at, we will see that Amon Ross St. Brown is the number one option on the offense

02:57when we look at target share, when we look at his overall air yard share.

03:02But as we evolve through the season, we actually look at game-by-game stats.

03:05And St. Brown's target share is going to be declining, especially once we add in this most recent game.

03:10And we see an emergence of someone like Tim Patrick.

03:12And obviously Jameson Williams back in the mix after suspension.

03:15He was obviously back last week against the Bears.

03:17So a team-high eight targets for Williams, I think, is encouraging for that yardage potential,

03:23especially once he breaks off these big plays.
