The officials apparently miss a penalty that briefly knocked Jared Goff out of the game

Jared Goff threw a terrible interception and then it got worse for him.

The Detroit Lions quarterback was chasing an interception return for a touchdown when he was hit hard in the head by Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu in an NFC divisional round game Saturday night. The Commanders scored, Goff was taken to the blue medical tent to be evaluated for a concussion and worse, it probably should have been a penalty on Washington.

Fox officiating expert Mike Pereira said that because Luvu hit Goff in the head, it should have been a 15-yard penalty, which would have negated the touchdown, even though Washington would have kept possession.

“This should have been called,” Pereira said.

Goff went to the medical tent but came out with his helmet on, a good sign for the Lions. Teddy Bridgewater, recently signed after coaching his high school team to a state championship in Florida, filled in for Goff. And the Lions hit a big play with Goff on the sideline, with Jameson Williams scoring on a 61-yard run off a reverse.

The Lions and Commanders scored a lot of points in the first half. It looks like some of the Commanders points should have come back due to a penalty.
