Jared Goff had an incredible performance in the Detroit Lions’ dominant 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The quarterback posted a perfect passer rating of 158.3, marking the second time in his career he achieved this feat. Goff threw for 412 yards and four touchdowns, delivering one of the best games of his career. His performance helped Detroit secure its ninth win of the season, keeping them in control of the NFC’s top playoff seed.
This wasn’t the first time Goff threw for over 400 yards and recorded a perfect passer rating. In 2018, while playing for the Los Angeles Rams, Goff accomplished the same feat in a game against the Minnesota Vikings. On that day, he threw for 465 yards and five touchdowns, cementing his ability to shine in high-stakes performances. His Sunday performance further solidified his reputation as a quarterback capable of leading explosive offenses.
Goff’s perfect passer rating against Jacksonville is only the second such occurrence in Detroit Lions history, with Dave Krieg being the first to do so in 1994. Goff is now part of an exclusive group, becoming only the sixth quarterback in NFL history to post multiple perfect passer ratings, provided they attempt at least 15 passes in each game. This feat underscores Goff’s impressive consistency and elite-level play this season.
In addition to his historic passing performance, Goff has set other notable records this season. He has recorded five games with a completion percentage of 80% or higher, which is the most in a single season in NFL history. Furthermore, he has achieved a passer rating of 140 or better in four games this season, tying the record for the most such games in a single season. These statistics highlight Goff’s precision and efficiency, making him one of the top quarterbacks in the league.
With the win, the Lions moved to 9-1, continuing their impressive run under Goff’s leadership. Detroit is firmly in the hunt for the NFC’s top seed, with Goff playing a crucial role in their success. As the team heads toward the playoffs, Goff’s stellar performances will be a key factor in their quest for a championship. The Lions are on a roll, and Goff is making history along the way.
