Jared Goff pancakes Packers EDGE Kingsley Enagbare with a killer block

In the first quarter of the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers Thursday Night Football game, the Lions outgained the Packers 199-1. and put up a 14-3 lead.

But that was not the most prominent embarrassment for the Packers. That came with 39 seconds left in that first quarter, when Jared Goff handed the ball to running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who then handed the ball to receiver Kalif Raymond, who trucked 40 yards up the right side of the field.

The centerpiece of the play was how Goff moved up to block edge-rusher Kingsley Enagbare, giving it his all when most quarterbacks make relative business decisions when “blocking.” This isn’t a true pancake (more like a ju-jitsu throw), but in a relative sense, it’s quite impressive. Enagbare reversed field to keep up with the play, and that’s when he discovered the HAMMER.

The Packers are out of sorts on both sides of the ball, and the Lions can seemingly do no wrong after Goff’s early interception.
