Goff completed 18 of 18 pass attempts for 292 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, caught a seven-yard touchdown pass on his only target and rushed twice for minus-2 yards in the Lions' 42-29 win over the Seahawks on Monday night. Per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Goff became the first quarterback in NFL history to finish a game with a perfect completion percentage on more than 10 attempts and with over 200 passing yards, underscoring how locked in he was during the wild win. The touchdown grab on a Motor City version of the famed Philly Special was an added bonus, with Goff on the receiving end of an Amon-Ra St. Brown pass just past the midway point of the third quarter. Goff also connected with St. Brown for an eight-yard touchdown toss, but the biggest play of his night was a 70-yard scoring strike to Jameson Williams late in the third quarter that extended a 28-20 lead. Goff now has back-to-back two-touchdown-pass tallies heading into a Week 5 bye, and he should be in store for another busy day when Detroit returns to action on the road against the Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Goff completed 18 of 18 pass attempts for 292 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, caught a seven-yard touchdown pass on his only target and rushed twice for minus-2 yards in the Lions' 42-29 win over the Seahawks on Monday night.

The touchdown grab on a Motor City version of the famed Philly Special was an added bonus, with Goff on the receiving end of an Amon-Ra St. Brown pass just past the midway point of the third quarter.

Goff completed 18 of 23 passes for 198 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals. Goff threw a five-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown in the second quarter and caught a break later in the first half, as a pick-six was wiped off the board when officials ruled that the play shouldn't count because the ball wasn't snapped prior to the two-minute warning. Instead of a Cardinals touchdown, that drive eventually ended in a one-yard Goff pass to St. Brown, who latereled to Jahmyr Gibbs, who proceeded to run 20 yards into the end zone on a play that was credited as Goff's second passing touchdown of the game. Goff completed just four of his last nine passes with an interception after hitting his first 14 throws that counted, but Detroit managed to hang on for the win despite Goff's poor second half. He'll bring an underwhelming 3:4 TD:INT into a Week 4 home game against the Seahawks on MNF.
Goff completed 34 of 55 passes for 307 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers. He also rushed twice for five yards. Goff's first pass of the game was picked off, but he bounced back with a 50-yard completion to Jameson Williams on his next pass to set up a field goal and cut Tampa Bay's early lead in half. None of Goff's subsequent 53 passes went for more than 20 yards, as he compiled his way over the 300-yard mark but finished with just 5.6 yards per attempt after throwing for only 217 yards on 7.8 YPA in Week 1. Goff will look to put the slow start behind him in a Week 3 road game against the Cardinals.
Goff completed 18 of 28 passes for 217 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams. He added one rush attempt for seven yards. After a quiet first half, Goff gave the Lions a 17-3 lead with a 52-yard touchdown pass to Jameson Williams in the third quarter. The Rams then scored 17 unanswered points, aided by a fourth-quarter Goff interception after the Lions had worked it into field-goal range. Goff bounced back to lead a scoring drive capped by a game-tying 32-yard Jake Bates field goal with 17 seconds left, then Detroit marched down the field on the ground to win it in overtime on a one-yard David Montgomery touchdown. After getting away with a subpar performance in the season opener, Goff will look to sharpen his game in Week 2 against the Buccaneers.
Goff isn't likely to see action in Saturday's preseason finale against the Steelers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. Goff was held out of the team's first two exhibition contests, and it looks like the Lions will continue to play it safe with their top QB on Saturday. As a result, look for Hendon Hooker, who's competing with Nate Sudfeld for backup slotting behind Goff, to draw the start against Pittsburgh. In that scenario, Goff's next game action will occur Sept. 8 against the Rams.
Coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Goff isn't in line to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Giants, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Campbell suggested other key players will be held out but only mentioned Goff by name. The list of absentees figures to include WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, TE Sam LaPorta (hamstring) and RBs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, among others.
The Lions signed Goff to a four-year, $212 million contract extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The deal contains $170 million guaranteed, and Goff is now the highest-paid player in Lions franchise history. The 2016 No. 1 overall pick of the Rams, Goff was acquired from Los Angeles in the Matthew Stafford haul prior to the 2021 season and has resurrected his career under Detroit OC Ben Johnson. In three seasons with Detroit, Goff has completed 66.5 percent of his passes, up from 63.4 percent with Los Angeles, and has thrown for 12,258 yards with a splendid 78:27 TD:INT mark. He's lowered his turnover rate with Detroit and just helped lead the team to the NFC Championship Game last season. Goff is still just 29 years old and is locked in with the Lions for at least the next few seasons.
Goff and the Lions have begun negotiations on a contract extension, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports. The same is true for star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown, one of the team's nine regular starters on offense currently under contract with the Lions for 2024. The two exceptions are wide receiver Josh Reynolds, who averaged 3.8 targets per game last year, and right guard Jonah Jackson, who has already been replaced by 2023 Pro Bowler Kevin Zeitler. Even offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is back for another year, after many assumed he'd leave for a head coaching job. Goff has just one season and $27.3 million remaining on a four-year extension he originally signed with the Rams. What was once viewed as an overpay has now become one of the best values among veteran QB contracts, with the 29-year-old coming off consecutive seasons with more than 4,400 passing yards and at least 29 TDs. Goff hasn't quite been as effective for fantasy managers, as he offers next to nothing on the ground and plays in an offense that got 47 rushing TDs from its running backs over the past two seasons.
