Lions’ quarterback shines with historic passing feat in thrilling win over Packers.

Goff’s Stellar Season Reaches New Heights

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been a revelation this season, delivering MVP-level performances week after week. On Thursday night, Goff added another milestone to his resume during the Lions’ 34-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers, setting a record that has never been achieved in NFL history.

While Goff’s season hasn’t been without hiccups — like the five-interception outing against the Texans in Week 10 — his overall efficiency and leadership have been remarkable. Against the Packers, he once again showcased why he is the centerpiece of the Lions’ high-powered offense. Goff completed 32 of 41 passes for 283 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception, posting a passer rating of 109.7 and a QBR of 90.9.

An Unprecedented Passing Feat

What truly stood out in Goff’s performance was his ability to spread the ball across the Lions’ receiving corps. He completed passes to six different receivers, with each recording at least five catches. This unprecedented accomplishment marked a new record in NFL history.

According to OptaStats, Goff is the first quarterback ever to complete passes to six or more teammates in a single game, with every one of them securing at least five receptions.

Here’s a breakdown of the Lions’ receiving stats from Thursday night:
