Jared Goff is on track to break an NFL record if he successfully completes his first seven throws this Sunday.
Lions quarterback Jared Goff aims to break an NFL record for most consecutive completions when he faces the Cowboys on Sunday.
In his previous game, Goff set records for the most passes and yards without an incompletion.
He completed the last pass of the Lions’ Week Three game and then went 18-for-18 in Week Four, totaling 19 consecutive completions.
The current NFL record stands at 25 consecutive completions, held by four quarterbacks: Ryan Tannehill, Marcus Mariota, Philip Rivers, and Nick Foles.
No player has ever thrown 26 straight completions without an incompletion.
When asked if he would call short passes to help Goff achieve the record, Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson emphasized that team success would take priority over individual statistics.
He made it clear that the game plan would not prioritize personal milestones but rather focus on the overall objectives of the team.
Goff’s pursuit of the record adds an exciting narrative to the upcoming matchup against the Cowboys, as he continues to demonstrate his impressive skills and performance on the field.
