The Detroit Lions secured a 20-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, improving their record to 2-1 for the season. Jared Goff's performance has been a concern, with more interceptions (4) than touchdowns (3) so far, despite his substantial contract extension. Detroit's running back duo, David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, have been standout performers, ranking in the top 15 for rushing yards. The Cardinals struggled significantly on third downs, converting only 1 of 9 attempts, which was a key factor in their loss. Arizona's defense showed resilience, but offensive inconsistencies and the absence of key players like Kelvin Beachum hindered their efforts. The Lions now focus on their upcoming game against Seattle, while the Cardinals reflect on missed opportunities and seek to bounce back.
