For the second straight week, the NFL gave us a Monday night doubleheader and for the second straight week, the late game in the doubleheader was a historical one.
Last week, the Commanders and Bengals gave us the first NFL game ever with no punts or turnovers. This week, the Seahawks and Lions also produced something that we’ve never seen before during Detroit’s wild 42-29 win over Seattle.
Let’s check out the records from the game, including two things that had never happened before in NFL history:
Never been done before, Part I: Jared Goff pitches a perfect game. The Lions QB set the NFL record for most pass attempts without an incompletion. Goff went 18 of 18 for 292 yards and two touchdowns. The previous record was held by Kurt Warner, who went 10 of 10 in a game back in 2005, so Goff just didn’t break the record, he smashed it. Goff also set the record for the most passing yards without an incompletion. Warner threw for 115 in his perfect game while Goff more than doubled that. As good as Goff was, he didn’t get a game ball, and apparently, Dan Campbell feels kind of bad about that (You can read his comments here). Goff is on a roll. With his perfect game, Goff has now completed 87.8% of his passes over the past two weeks, which is tied for the second-best accuracy rate ever over a two-game span. Only Jayden Daniels, who completed 88.7% of his passes over the past two weeks, has been better. Before this year, the record had stood since 2008 when Peyton Manning completed 87.8% of his passes over a two-week span. Lions pull off rare feat. Not only did Goff go 18 of 18, but Amon-Ra St. Brown also completed a pass, which means the Lions went 19 of 19 as a team. That made them the first team since the…
