Detroit Lions set Ford Field ablaze with a massive MNF win over the Seattle Seahawks. Downtown Detroit saw two NFC potential Champions tugging it out, with home heroes, the Lions, handing the Seahawks their first loss of the 2024 season.

With a hundred home heroes on the stands for festivities and Calvin Johnson‘s induction into the NFL Hall of Fame, the Lions overcame the Seahawks threat for the first time since 2012. In the regular season, the Seahawks had the upper hand for the last six consecutive games. Detroit Lions are now 3-1 in the NFC North with high odds for the Super Bowl.

It was a quarterback’s duel out there in the domed stadium. Geno Smith packed some major heat with 38-of-56 for 395 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Jared Goff, the Lions starter, took it one step ahead with a perfect outing. He knitted a perfect pass completion, 18-of-18, for 292 yards and two touchdowns, including a 70-yard flyer to Jameson Williams.

Goff tumbled many NFL record books in the game. The 29-year-old Californian now leads the NFL in most passes without an incompletion as per OptaStats. ESPN Broadcast analyzed that he also managed to nag the title of the first NFL player with no incompletions while passing for 200+ yards.

Goff was 2.5 shy of a perfect passer rating of 158.2, but that’s no small task. The passer rating is calculated utilizing the completion percentage, yard per attempt, TD per attempt, and interception per attempt.

According to Pro Football Reference’s Passer Rating Calculator, Goff could have reached 158.2 with the above metrics while keeping the same stats in other areas. Nonetheless, he had an outing for the ages which included his first receiving touchdown as well.

Fans in awe of the Downtown Riot by Jared Goff with his mind-blowing stats

Jared Goff displayed a different version of himself. He was a demure beast, passing for more than 200 yards, slinging his arm so perfectly and mindfully into the correct hands. To be noted, the Seattle Seahawks had allowed the second-fewest passing yards per game before Monday’s action.

Goff made the performance more enriching by doubling the 132.3 yards per game Seattle had been allowing through the air. Considering the win is the Lions’ best performance output, the fans have likened his stats to the Madden NFL stats and termed his performance ‘elite’.

Fans are completely oblivious after Jared Goff missed out on a perfect passer rating when he had no incompletions.

The Detroit Lions now can have a nice long week to themselves before they play the Dallas Cowboys on October 13.
