So far this season, we at Touchdown Wire have been telling you over and over and over again that Sean McVay is going to force opposing defenses to pay attention to his pre-snap jet motion designs.
Maybe now people will listen:

On this play the Los Angeles Rams send wide receiver Robert Woods in jet motion prior to the snap. When the play begins, quarterback Jared Goff executes a play-action fake, showing the Washington defense an inside run. But the goal here is to take a deep shot down field, and Goff is looking for Woods, who is streaking along the sideline after executing his pre-snap movement. Goff comes out of his fake and immediately snaps his eyes towards Woods along the left sideline, who has gotten behind the coverage. They connect for the 56-yard scoring play.
This was Goff’s ninth passing attempt of the day, and his ninth-straight completion. This one though was his biggest of the day so far.
Maybe now we’ll start paying attention to the motion?
