Ranking all 32 starting NFL quarterbacks by pressured passing grade through Week 7 (14. JARED GOFF, DETROIT LIONS - 53.1 Passing Grade Under Pressure.  On pressured dropbacks, Goff has thrown 23 first downs — the seventh-most among signal-callers. He’s thrown for 396 yards and is averaging over 6.5 yards per attempt on 59 pass attempts.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-starting-quarterbacks-pressured-passing-grade-week-7-2022

2022 NFL season's top 10 slot receivers: Rams' Cooper Kupp, Bengals' Tyler Boyd lead group (9.  Amon-Ra St. Brown (Inside receiver alignment: 58%.  Slot receiving score: 79):  Though St. Brown, like the Lions' offense overall, has cooled down since a hot start (253 receiving yards in Weeks 1-3; 22 receiving yards in two games since then), he has still been a factor in Detroit's jump from 25th in scoring offense in 2021 to ninth this season. St. Brown has been a consistent go-to guy for quarterback Jared Goff, as he has been targeted on 33 percent of his routes from the slot this season (tied for second among players with 50-plus such routes, behind Ravens tight end Mark Andrews). And St. Brown has matched that high usage with high efficiency, earning a 95.5 passer rating when targeted from the slot this season (seventh among wide receivers with at least 20 such targets). St. Brown is still just 23 years old. He and his fellow young skill players, such as D'Andre Swift (23), T.J. Hockenson (25) and rookie Jameson Williams (21; he has yet to play this season) might be putting up big numbers in the Motor City for years to come.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/2022-nfl-season-s-top-10-slot-receivers-rams-cooper-kupp-bengals-tyler-boyd-lead

NFL News Mailbag: Kadarius Toney's fit with Chiefs, Patriots drawing trade interest, more (@DEVONCARIS: WHAT IS THE LIONS RECORD AT THE END OF THE YEAR?  The Detroit Lions’ win total is currently 5.5 at BetMGM. The over is at -135 and the under is +110.  So, Vegas seems to think they’ll go 5-12 or 6-11.  I feel bad for Lions fans. Detroit ranked third in EPA per play after four weeks. Now they’re 18th after the last three games, and they’re dead last since Week 5. And they’re 23rd in EPA per play against.  The Lions have had some tough injury luck this season, so perhaps when guys like Amon-Ra St. Brown, D’Andre Swift, D.J. Chark and Jameson Williams are all back, that offense will improve again, but quarterback Jared Goff is ranked 28th out of 37 qualified quarterbacks with a 61.5 overall PFF grade. The Lions will have a better chance to upgrade that position with either Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud or Will Levis if they keep on losing.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-news-mailbag-kadarius-toney-chiefs-trade-new-england-patriots-trade-interest-more
