Lions dig into bag of tricks en route to beating Cardinals

jahmyr gibbs

Jared Goff passed for 199 yards and two touchdowns and the Detroit Lions topped the Arizona Cardinals 20-13 on Sunday in Glendale, Ariz.

Goff, who was intercepted once, completed 18 of 23 passes. David Montgomery rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries for the Lions (2-1).

Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 83 yards and scored a 21-yard touchdown on a hook-and-ladder play. Amon-Ra St. Brown caught seven passes for 75 yards and a touchdown.

Kyler Murray passed for 207 yards and a touchdown with an interception for Arizona (1-2). Marvin Harrison Jr. caught five passes for 64 yards and a score.

Goff completed all 12 of his first-half passes as Lions grabbed a 20-10 halftime advantage.

Montgomery rushed for 39 yards on the Lions’ first possession, which he finished off with a 1-yard plunge.

Arizona responded with a 70-yard drive in which Murray passed for 38 yards and rushed for 34 more. Murray connected with Harrison on a 10-yard pass to complete the drive.

Detroit regained the lead on a 13-play drive, capped by Goff’s 5-yard pass to St. Brown. Jake Bates missed the extra-point try.

Goff nearly committed a turnover late in the half but was bailed out by the two-minute warning.

The Lions then used a little razzle-dazzle to score again with 29 seconds remaining in the half. Goff completed a short pass to St. Brown, who then tossed a lateral to Gibbs. The speedy running back raced 20 yards for the touchdown.

A personal foul penalty helped the Cardinals get into field goal range and the half ended on Matt Prater’s 42-yard field goal.

Murray was picked off in the end zone by Kerby Joseph early in the second half. Arizona also failed to pick up a first down after Goff was intercepted by Dennis Gardeck.

Arizona scored the first points of the half with 3:48 remaining on Prater’s 45-yard field goal. Murray’s 28-yard pass to Michael Wilson was the big play on the drive.

The Lions converted a key third-and-12 on Goff’s 18-yard pass to St. Brown. Goff’s 8-yard scramble picked up another first down and ended the contest.
