With two touchdown passes and eighteen pass completions overall, Goff’s 18 completions are the most in an NFL game without an incomplete throw.
In addition, the quarterback recorded his first receiving touchdown of the game.
Goff said to news, “It’s good when the ball doesn’t hit the ground.”
“During the game, I was unsure of the record. I was attempting to retrieve any incomplete passes that I might have. Though I wasn’t completely sure, I knew I had a chance.
As a result, both teams’ season records are now 3-1.
Geno Smith set career highs for the Seahawks with 395 throwing yards and 38 completions out of 56 attempts.
At halftime of their home game at Ford Field, the Lions lead 21–7, with two goals from David Montgomery and one from Jahmyr Gibbs.
The Seahawks made a comeback to cut Detroit’s lead to one score, but before the final quarter, Goff connected with Jameson Williams for a 70-yard touchdown, making the score 35-20.
Early in the fourth quarter, Kenneth Walker III attempted a 21-yard touchdown run to cut the deficit, but Goff found Amon-Ra St. Brown in the end zone to secure the win.
Goff’s own touchdown was earlier scored on a trick play in which St. Brown passed to him.
