Goff's Five Turnovers Doom Lions, Eliminating Them from Playoff Race

Lions QB Jared Goff had a challenging Christmas Day, throwing two interceptions on consecutive third-quarter passes and fumbling three times, losing all three. He completed 18 of 29 attempts for 197 yards and one touchdown in the 23-10 loss to the Vikings. Goff's five turnovers contributed to Detroit's defeat, which officially eliminated the Lions from playoff contention. He connected with Isaac TeSlaa for a four-yard touchdown, but the turnovers proved too costly. His status for Week 18 will be monitored as the team looks to finish the season on a better note.
