NFC Notes: Lions, Packers, Vikings

Lions

Lions QB Jared Goff threw for five touchdowns in a big win over the Broncos on Saturday night and told reporters that the team’s ability to respond to adversity is one of their greatest assets.

“Our superpower is how we respond as a team, as a unit, as a group,” Goff said, via Pro Football Talk. “We’ve been through a lot of adversity as a group. A three-game lull where we won one of three is not the worst thing we’ve been through. Being able to bounce back is something we’ve prided ourselves on, and tonight was a big one to bounce back with.”

Packers

• Packers HC Matt LaFleur wouldn’t elaborate when asked if RB A.J. Dillon is dealing with a broken thumb: “I’m not getting into the details of that,” via Ryan Wood. 
• LaFleur was also non-committal on Dillon’s availability for Week 15: “We’ll see.”
• As for RB Aaron Jones (knee), LaFleur said they will have a better idea after Friday’s practice: “We’ll see. That’s something we’re working through. I think we’ll have a better indication tomorrow when we have a normal Friday practice,” via Wes Hodkiewicz. 
• Jones is confident he’ll be able to play in Week 15: “I’m feeling a lot better. Got to move around today at practice and making great strides. I’m going to take it day-by-day but I feel confident for Sunday.” (Hodkiewicz)
• LaFleur said WR Christian Watson (hamstring) is unlikely to practice on Friday, via Rob Demovsky. 
• LaFleur comment on the performance of Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield after their Week 15 loss: “Baker went out and shredded us, and it’s disappointing because we sacked him five times but obviously that wasn’t enough.” (Lindsey Thiry)

Vikings
