Dan Campbell says Jared Goff will remain Lions’ starter, but ‘needs to step up more than he has’

After a disastrous Week 6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell didn’t mince words when it came to assessing his team’s offensive play, specifically calling on quarterback Jared Goff to improve his play:

“I’ll tell you this... (full 10-second pause), I feel like he needs to step up more than he has.”

Campbell chose his words carefully and rightfully called out Goff for his uninspiring performance, but he was also quick to point out that the quarterback was not alone in taking the blame for the team’s lack of effort.
