Jared Goff led the charge for Detroit, throwing for an impressive 352 yards and four touchdowns, while Jahmyr Gibbs contributed significantly on the ground with 96 rushing yards. The standout performance came from Jameson Williams, who torched the Packers' secondary with a staggering 259 receiving yards, proving to be Goff's favorite target throughout the game.
