Lions Overcome Cardinals 20-13 in Week Matchup

The Detroit Lions secured a 20-13 victory against the Arizona Cardinals, with Jared Goff throwing two touchdown passes and David Montgomery rushing for 106 yards. Despite a strong first half where Goff completed 12 of 12 passes, the Lions' defense shined in the second half, allowing only one field goal and preventing Kyler Murray from scoring a touchdown. The Lions improved their record against the Cardinals to 5-0-1 since 2017, showcasing a well-executed hook-and-ladder play that contributed to their lead. Goff's performance marked his longest streak without an incompletion to start a game, finishing with 18 of 23 passes for 196 yards. Although the Cardinals had opportunities to close the gap, they failed to capitalize on key plays, including an interception by Kerby Joseph. Matt Prater's field goals kept Arizona in the game, but the Lions effectively ran out the clock to seal their victory.
