Jared Goff delivered a performance for the ages on Sunday, cementing his place in NFL history with a second career game surpassing 400 passing yards, setting a new record for quarterback perfection. The Detroit Lions’ signal-caller not only led his team to a dominant win but also etched his name in the record books by becoming one of the few quarterbacks to achieve such a feat in a game with zero turnovers and an almost flawless passer rating. His performance surpassed those of several NFL legends, elevating his status among the league’s elite.
Goff finished the game with 409 passing yards and four touchdowns, making every throw look effortless and placing the ball with precision. He connected with multiple receivers, showcasing his ability to spread the ball around and read defenses with remarkable poise. Most notably, Goff’s accuracy and decision-making were on full display, as he did not throw a single interception or make any critical mistakes, something that has often been the downfall of even some of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
In doing so, Goff surpassed notable quarterbacks like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers, who all have fewer career games with 400+ yards and no turnovers. His performance on Sunday not only helped propel the Lions to a commanding victory but also served as a statement that Goff is playing some of the best football of his career. As Detroit continues to rise in the NFC standings, Goff’s record-setting game has helped solidify his legacy as one of the league’s top quarterbacks in 2024.
