- Quarterback Jared Goff threw for 206 yards on 39 attempts during offensive coordinator Drew Petzing's debut, while wide receiver Williams contributed only four receptions for 45 yards amid costly mistakes.
- Lions coach Dan Campbell said he will do "whatever is necessary to win," though he doesn't view the heavy workload as ideal. Gibbs remains unsure if such usage is sustainable throughout the season.
