Jared Goff backs Dan Campbell's decision to go for it deep in Lions' own end

The Lions went for it on fourth-and-1 in a tie game with 4:53 left, and Jahmyr Gibbs was stopped for a 2-yard loss. Lions coach Dan Campbell has faced questions about his unconventional decision. Campbell explained that the Lions had more confidence in their ability to gain 1 yard than risk Jordan Love executing a 4-minute, game-winning touchdown drive. Campbell added that, even if Detroit’s fourth-down gamble failed, the Packers would not be able to run the clock out, leaving the Lions time to respond. It worked out as D.J. Wonnum blocked the chip-shot field goal of Packers rookie kicker Trey Smack, and the Lions won on a last-play field goal. Quarterback Jared Goff said he didn’t “even think twice” when he heard the Lions were going for it deep in their own end. “I think it’s so -- I don’t know the right word — exposing of people who think it’s not the right decision just because it’s in our territory,” Goff said Tuesday on 97.1 The Ticket. “It’s guaranteeing us a chance to win the game no matter what. Whereas, if we punt it, they can do exactly what we did to them on the final drive, and I’m sure they wish they had another chance to touch the ball. “So it’s funny. I think back to a few years ago where we went for that fourth down against Green Bay in a similar situation, fourth-and-1, and we got it with David Montgomery. There was backlash on that, and we converted. I guess no matter what, there will be backlash, so who really cares at this point, right?” In 2024, the Lions went for it on fourth-and-1 at the Green Bay 21 with 43 seconds left. David Montgomery ran for 7 yards, and Jake Bates kicked a 35-yard field goal on the final play for a 34-31 win. “I think when we’re in those situations, we’re so much more comfortable in them than the other teams because we do them more often,” Goff said, “and it is an advantage for us. It’s something that we practice and something that we spend a lot of time on, and we feel very comfortable in those situations.” The Lions lead the NFL in fourth-down conversions (89) over the past five seasons and rank second in attempts (154), according to 97.1 The Ticket. Their conversion rate of 57.8 percent over that stretch ranks seventh. The Lions have converted 61.5 percent of their 13 fourth-down attempts this season. “Again, unfortunately we didn’t convert this one,” said Goff. “We want to get the first down and keep the game moving and finish the game on that drive, but Dan knew that if we were not to get it, OK, they’ll either kick a field goal or they’ll score a touchdown, and then we’ll get the ball back. Now, thankfully, they missed the field goal, and everything was great, but by every measure of everything, it’s the right decision.”

NFL Injury Report | Fantasy Football Week 7, 2026

The injuries continue to pile up as we are almost midway through the fantasy regular season. Below are some of the key injuries heading into Week 7. Mike Evans has played through various injuries this season. However, the 49ers are one game away from a Week 8 bye, so he will sit out this one against the Falcons, nursing rib and Achilles injuries. With the 49ers already down Ricky Pearsall , De’Zhaun Stribling, and Deebo Samuel , San Francisco’s receiving corps is barren. The 49ers will likely deploy a rotation of veteran Brandin Cooks , Jacob Cowing , Jordan Watkins , and Christian Kirk, who is set to make his 49ers debut after returning from a calf injury. All of these players are desperation starts. It’s most likely that George Kittle feasts on National Tight End Day. Lamar Jackson practiced in a limited capacity all week. He has missed the past two games with a recently disclosed high ankle sprain and will now miss a third. With Jackson out, the Ravens’ offensive players will see a dip in production as the Ravens have mustered just 429 passing yards with Jackson sidelined. Baltimore turns to Tyler Huntley, who will start for the Ravens again, hoping to improve on his lackluster performance thus far. David Montgomery will miss his second game with a groin injury. In his absence last week, Woody Marks saw a 78% snap share and finished as the RB22 on the week. Marks will continue to see the bulk of opportunities, especially since his running mate Jawhar Jordan, who saw two red-zone touches and scored a rushing touchdown last week, was placed on the practice squad Reserve/Injured list with a quadriceps injury. Passing-down specialist Dare Ogunbowale will likely spell Marks, but he remains off the fantasy radar. Emeka Egbuka is coming off two consecutive 17-point PPR performances; however, he will miss the Buccaneers’ Week 7 matchup against the Panthers with a concussion and foot injury. Veteran Chris Godwin is set to be the focal point of the Bucs’ passing offense, with Baker Mayfield set to return from a thumb injury. Godwin makes for a strong FLEX play despite his poor results thus far. Rookie Ted Hurst is also in line for increased targets with Egbuka out. Tyler Warren will miss his second straight game with a groin injury. In his absence last week, Keenan Allen saw 11 targets, and Josh Downs saw eight. Allen and Downs combined for 45% of the Colts’ targets last week. Look for both players to be featured again as the hapless Colts take on a tough Vikings defense this week. First-round rookie Jeremiyah Love will miss his second straight game with an ankle injury. In his absence last week, Zonovan Knight and Tyler Allgeier combined for 37 total opportunities, with Allgeier seeing 20 and Knight seeing 17. Both backs will likely continue to see a near-even split in backfield opportunities in a plus matchup against the Broncos. Puka Nacua popped up mid-week on the injury report with a calf injury but is officially questionable for Week 7. With Davante Adams on IR with a ruptured hamstring, Nacua will likely try to suit up for the Rams, who are in dire need of a win. Konata Mumpfield will likely join Nacua in two-WR sets in Adams’ absence but remains off the fantasy radar. Rashee Rice will miss his second straight game as he deals with hamstring and knee ailments. Xavier Worthy saw seven targets in his absence last week and led the Chiefs in targets. Worthy will look to step up again, though the Chiefs’ offense runs through Kenneth Walker. Bijan Robinson may never come off the field this week against the 49ers. However, if he does, practice squad call-up Khalil Herbert will serve as the breather back. He is a player to monitor on the wire if Brian Robinson takes some time to recover from his hamstring injury. Mason was activated from IR and is set to return from a thumb injury that sidelined him the past four weeks. He should hop right back into his role as the 1A to Aaron Jones’ 1B in the Vikings backfield. He makes for [... truncated ...]

Dare Ogunbowale Expected To Be Primary Backup

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale will be the second running back for Houston this week against the Giants, with both David Montgomery (groin) and Jawhar Jordan (quad) ruled out. The veteran has been active in each of the last three games but has only played one snap, without a carry or a catch. While Woody Marks is expected to handle almost all the work in the backfield, the team is confident in Ogunbowale's ability to succeed as well, according to offensive coordinator Nick Caley. Caley said of Ogunbowale, "We have faith whoever's out there, we have faith that we're going to put them in the best position." Barring an injury to Marks, though, Ogunbowale will probably be only involved a little bit in the team's game plan. He is only the RB57 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings, so he can be left on the waiver wire in all but the deepest of leagues
