The Detroit Lions took over first place in the NFC North with another outstanding offensive performance on Sunday, and they made history in the process.
Jared Goff went 22-of-25 for 280 yards and two touchdowns while leading the Lions to a 31-29 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Goff has now thrown just 15 incomplete passes in the past four games. Backup QB Hendon Hooker also through an incompletion during Detroit’s blowout win over the Cowboys in Week 6, giving the Lions 16 incompletions in four games. They have scored 18 touchdowns during that span.
According to CBS, the Lions are now the only team since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger to have more touchdowns than incomplete passes during a four-game stretch.
