Jared Goff threw a perfect game, setting an NFL record by completing all 18 of his passes to help the Detroit Lions beat the Seattle Seahawks 42-29 on Monday night.
Kurt Warner had the previous league mark for the most passes without an incompletion, going 10-for-10 for Arizona against Houston in 2005.
Goff also had a touchdown reception for the first time in his career, catching a pass from Amon-Ra St. Brown, and threw one of his two touchdown passes to the All-Pro receiver.
