I'm honestly exceptionally surprised Goff isn't on here. I'm guessing he tightened up a bit in Detroit? He was good for one fumble a game on the Rams it felt like but the team was pretty good about recovering them thankfully. Love Goff to death and knew hed most likely turn it around but man had fumbleitis really bad for a guy doesn't intentionally need to leave the pocket a lot like Fields.

I looked it up, and he has an average of .5 per game with a little under half of those lost. He's about the same in Detroit, he did have 9 in 14 games in 2021 which is the third highest rate of his career.

Yeah I might be a little biased from 2021 I guess but it really feels like its happened more than that. It was legitimately the only complaint I ever had about Goff in those dominant years it felt like late in games if someone got a clean hit on him (especially blind side but thats more understandable) there was a high chance the ball popped out and id about die of stress before he fell or Whit or someone fell back on it.
