Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had an impressive performance on Monday night, completing all 18 of his pass attempts during a 42-29 win against the Seattle Seahawks.

Goff’s standout play included a 70-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jameson Williams, which accounted for a significant portion of his total 292 passing yards.

This touchdown marked another successful connection for Goff and Williams, who have now combined for five touchdowns in regular-season games, with each scoring play covering at least 32 yards.

The touchdown from Goff to Williams helped the Lions extend their lead to 35-20 with just under three minutes left in the third quarter, surpassing their previous longest touchdown connection of 52 yards in the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams.

In addition to the long touchdown pass, Goff added a second touchdown to his stats later in the game, completing an 8-yard pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown with 5:23 left on the clock, pushing the score to 42-27 in favor of Detroit.

Notably, Goff made history by becoming the first player in NFL history to throw more than 10 passes in a game without recording a single incompletion.

Goff also showcased his versatility by catching a touchdown pass himself, completing a 7-yard throw from St. Brown, further highlighting the Lions’ offensive prowess.

Detroit’s offense was not solely dependent on the passing game.

Running back Jahmyr Gibbs, also an Alabama alum, contributed significantly with 78 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries.

Gibbs found the end zone with a 3-yard run early in the second quarter and added another touchdown with a 1-yard run just before halftime.

His teammate, safety Brian Branch, was inactive for the game due to a concussion.

Another cornerback for Detroit, Carlton Davis from Auburn, also had a strong performance, recording seven tackles, a tackle for loss, and three pass breakups.

Notably, he recovered a fumble, returning it 49 yards to set up the Lions’ second touchdown, marking the fifth-longest fumble return by an Auburn alumnus in NFL history.
