Jared Goff injury: Lions QB leaves game after getting obliterated on illegal hit

Jared Goff headed to the locker room after a massive hit in the second quarter of Saturday’s NFC Divisional Round game against the Washington Commanders. He later returned to the sidelines, but FOX rules analyst Mike Pereira said the officials missed a penalty on the play.

Quan Martin intercepted Goff and took it back for a touchdown to give the Commanders a 24-14 lead. On the play, though, Goff took a massive hit from Frankie Luvu. The training staff immediately went out to attend to him, and he went back to the locker room during the commercial break.

Teddy Bridgewater came in to replace Goff, and he led a touchdown drive. Jameson Williams took a handoff to the house on a trick play to cut the Washington lead to 24-21. Just like that, the game was off and running.
