What happened: The game is Sunday at Ford Field. Flores' defense generated four sacks in its previous game.

Why it matters: The matchup pairs the NFL's top scoring defense with its No. 2 scoring offense. A win for Goff's side would end the opponent's unbeaten start.

By the numbers: Goff has 14 touchdown passes and no interceptions through six games. Flores' defense blitzed on 85.2% of dropbacks in Week 7.

What to watch: Sunday will show whether Flores maintains that blitz rate against Goff.
