Goff completed 38 of 59 passes for 494 yards, five touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills. He added two rushes for 13 yards. The Lions went down 14-0 in the first quarter and played from behind the entire contest, which led to a season-high 59 pass attempts for Goff. He converted that into an excellent stat line, including his second-most yards in any game of his career while matching a career-high with five touchdowns. He also completed five passes of at least 20 yards, highlighted by a 66-yard touchdown connection with Amon-Ra St. Brown late in the third quarter. While this was an outlier performance, Goff has at least three passing scores in half of Detroit's 10 games since their Week 5 bye and should remain an excellent starting option heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Bears.

Goff completed 38 of 59 passes for 494 yards, five touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills. He added two rushes for 13 yards. The Lions went down 14-0 in the first quarter and played from behind the entire contest, which led to a season-high 59 pass attempts for Goff. He converted that into an excellent stat line, including his second-most yards in any game of his career while matching a career-high with five touchdowns. He also completed five passes of at least 20 yards, highlighted by a 66-yard touchdown connection with Amon-Ra St. Brown late in the third quarter. While this was an outlier performance, Goff has at least three passing scores in half of Detroit's 10 games since their Week 5 bye and should remain an excellent starting option heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Bears.
Goff completed 32 of 41 passes for 283 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Lions' 34-31 win over the Packers on Thursday night. He also rushed four times for seven yards. Goff got the Lions off and running with a crisp 11-play, 70-yard march that culminated in a David Montgomery three-yard walk-in rushing touchdown on the first possession of the contest. The veteran signal-caller would go on to struggle some during the rest of the first half, although he did get Detroit back in the end zone before halftime with a two-yard scoring toss to Jahmyr Gibbs. Goff would throw his one interception on a slant during Detroit's first drive of the second half, a pick that led to a Packers touchdown. Nevertheless, he would redeem himself with three- and one-yard scoring tosses to Tim Patrick, and by recording a pair of clutch completions during the game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter. Goff's interception broke a three-game streak without a pick, but he still boasts a 9:1 TD:INT over his last four contests heading into a Week 15 home showdown against Josh Allen and the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 15.
Goff completed 21 of 34 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Bears. He also rushed once for one yard. Detroit scored on each of its first four drives, producing three field goals and a three-yard touchdown pass from Goff to Sam LaPorta to begin the second quarter. Goff added a one-yard touchdown pass to LaPorta in the third quarter to put the Lions ahead 23-7, but Detroit's offense stalled after that. Chicago stormed back but mismanaged the clock after getting into field-goal range in the final minute as Detroit eked out the win to improve to 11-1. Goff will bring a 22:9 TD:INT ratio into a Week 14 home game against the Packers, which will also be on a Thursday.
Goff completed 26 of 36 pass attempts for 269 yards, no touchdowns and no turnovers while adding two carries for no gain in Sunday's 24-6 win over Indianapolis. Goff kept the offense moving with efficient play from the pocket, but it was Detroit's running game that finished off drives with touchdowns Sunday. The Cal product has now completed 50 out of his last 65 pass attempts with four touchdowns and no picks in two contests since his horrific five-interception game against Houston in Week 10. Despite the upcoming short week, Goff remains a strong choice at QB when the Lions host the Bears on Thanksgiving Day.
Goff completed 24 of 29 passes for 412 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and added four rushes for 21 yards in the Lions' 52-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. Goff finished the 46-point drubbing with a perfect passer rating of 158.3, his latest milestone in what is turning into a memorable season. The veteran signal-caller connected with Amon-Ra St. Brown (27, nine yards), Jameson Williams (64 yards) and Brock Wright (five yards) for his quartet of touchdown passes, his seventh-multi TD performance in the last eight games. Both Goff's passing yardage and touchdown-pass totals were season highs as well, and he'll be set up well for another prolific afternoon when Detroit faces the vulnerable Colts defense on the road in Week 12.
Goff completed 15 of 30 pass attempts for 240 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions while adding one rushing attempt for two yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Texans. The Lions somehow escaped with a victory despite Goff throwing a career-high five interceptions on Sunday Night Football. The 29-year-old threw more picks in this contest than he had over his previous eight starts combined this season. Goff's performance stings the most from a fantasy perspective, as his five turnovers likely cut into any positive gains made from his passing totals. The Novato, CA native will look to get back to his efficient ways when Detroit returns home to face a floundering Jacksonville squad next Sunday.
Goff completed 18 of 22 passes for 145 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers. Goff led the Lions to a touchdown on their opening drive, during which he went 5-for-5 for 29 yards and a three-yard score. Detroit maintained a lead from there and also benefitted from a defensive score. Based on that game script and rainy conditions, Goff had limited pass volume for the second consecutive contest, with Sunday's performance marking his first without multiple touchdowns since Week 2. He'll return to playing in a dome in a Week 10 matchup against the Texans, which should be beneficial for him and the entire Detroit offense.
Goff (ankle) practiced fully Thursday. Goff was held out of Wednesday's session due to a sore ankle, but his return without limitations one day later paves the way for him to continue to lead the Lions offense. The reigning NFC Offensive Player of the Month will be taking on a Packers defense Sunday that has allowed the 14th-most yards per attempt (7.25) to opposing quarterbacks this season.
Goff (ankle) is on the field for Thursday's practice, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com Goff was a spectator for Wednesday's practice after he rolled his ankle in the Lions' blowout win over the Titans this past weekend, but his presence on the field at Thursday's session suggests his status for Sunday's game against the Packers is in no real jeopardy. The Lions will release their second Week 9 injury report Thursday, when it will be known whether Goff was a limited or full participant in practice.
