Jared Goff ends down year on high note

Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY Sports

It was a disappointing season for Goff, one filled with criticism from media members and fans, alike. Entering Week 17, he only had 19 touchdown passes and 16 interceptions, completing 62.8 percent of his passes. On Sunday, he capped off a down year with a strong performance. He completed 29 of 45 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions or fumbles. His passer rating of 107.5 was his fourth-best of 2019.

What was most impressive about his game was the fact that he didn’t do it all rolling out of the pocket like he had in recent weeks. He was dropping straight back and finding open receivers, making accurate throws short and in the intermediate levels of the field.
