Jared Goff and the Lions beat the Chargers, 41–38, in one of Sunday’s best Week 10 games, and they did so in dramatic fashion with a walk-off field goal as time expired. 

The biggest play of the final drive came on fourth-and-2 from the Chargers’ 26-yard line when Dan Campbell and Co. decided to roll the dice and go for it, instead of attempting a field goal with just under two minutes left in the game.

Goff was able to complete a short pass to get the first down, which then allowed Detroit to eat up the rest of the clock before kicking the game-winning field goal. 

The QB had a hilarious description of the guts it took for the coaches to call that play: 

The Lions are now 7–2 on the season and are easily one of the most fun teams in the league.
