If we clean a couple things up, I think we’ll get back in a rhythm and be just fine.”In the Lions’ 31-26 win over the Bears on Sunday, Goff threw three interceptions for the first time in three years with the franchise.“The turnovers in the first half have certainly been a problem the last two games that put us behind and subsequently it’s part of the reason we lost today,’’ Goff said. “The efficiency and how well you’d like to play on offense can certainly go up.
