Everything that could go wrong for Jared Goff was going wrong. The Detroit Lions quarterback who couldn’t miss a receiver for weeks kept finding Houston Texans defenders
Fine times. Goff threw five interceptions yet his Lions teammates rallied around their quarterback for a weird 26-23 victory over the Houston Texans on “Sunday Night Football.”
The difference was a 52-yard field goal by Jake Bates as time expired. Detroit improved to 8-1 with the unlikely victory. The Texans are 6-4.

The Lions trailed 23-7 at the half but held Houston scoreless over the final two quarter.
The comeback began with a David Montgomery touchdown run that was followed by an Amon-Ra St. Brown touchdown reception on one of the 15 completions Goff had to his team.
After throwing 5 interceptions against zone coverage through the first three quarters, Jared Goff completed 6 of his 8 attempts against zone in the 4th quarter for 79 yards and a touchdown, helping the Lions secure a Week 10 comeback win over the Texans.
