PFF Grades and Data: Key insights for every NFL Week 12 game (New York Giants @ Detroit Lions:  Pressure is the key to disrupting the Lions' passing game, as evidenced Sunday night when Jared Goff completed just one of 13 passes under pressure and took two sacks. His 34.2 passing grade under pressure in 2025 is his lowest since his rookie year and ranks last among qualifying quarterbacks. The Giants’ best chance to exploit that weakness comes from their edge depth, as they are the only team with three edge defenders who each have at least 30 pressures: Brian Burns (37), Abdul Carter (35) and Kayvon Thibodeaux (32).  In the absence of Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy has seen usage that mirrors his rookie-season workload, and he delivered in Week 11 with a season-high 23 touches for 139 total yards and six conversions. He was particularly tough to bring down, tying his career best with six missed tackles forced. Replicating that effort will be a challenge against a Lions defense that leads the league with just 58 missed tackles this year.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-pff-grades-and-data-key-insights-for-every-nfl-week-12-game-2

QB Rankings (Tier 3 - 4. Jared Goff - 2025 stats: 10 games | 69.7 pct | 2490 pass yds | 8.0 ypa | 21 pass TDs | 4 INTs | 22 rush yds | 0 rush TDs | 3 fumblesJared Goff looked lost in Philadelphia on Sunday night. The Eagles' pass rush essentially broke him, forcing Goff to miss lay-up throws in the second half. While he has posted excellent numbers this season, the blueprint to stop him has undoubtedly emerged.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-qb-rankings-index-week-12-2025-nfl-season
