Lions' Jared Goff: Manages team to rainy win
Jared Goff completed 18 of 22 passes for 145 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers.Goff led the Detroit Lions to a touchdown on their opening drive, during which he went 5-for-5 for 29 yards and a three-yard score. Detroit maintained a lead from there and also benefitted from a defensive score. Based on that game script and rainy conditions, Goff had limited pass volume for the second consecutive contest, with Sunday's performance marking his first without multiple touchdowns since Week 2. He'll return to playing in a dome in a Week 10 matchup against the Texans, which should be beneficial for him and the entire Detroit offense.

Jared Goff completed 12 of 15 passes for 85 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans.

Goff took advantage with touchdown passes of eight and one yards, but his yardage was limited as a result.

It's difficult to find fault with the performance, but game script limited Goff's output for fantasy purposes.

He also committed two fumbles, losing one.Two games after memorably connecting on all 18 pass attempts, Goff pulled off a near-perfect performance Sunday against a tough Vikings defense. The veteran signal-caller couldn't get anything going over the Lions' first three possessions, but he then went on to lead three consecutive touchdown drives that included a 35-yard scoring strike to Amon-Ra St. Brown. Goff would add a 21-yard touchdown toss to Kalif Raymond just past the midway point of the third quarter and subsequently helmed a game-winning eight-play, 44-yard march late that culminated in a go-ahead field goal. Goff now has four consecutive multi-touchdown efforts heading into a Week 8 home matchup against the Titans.

Lions' Jared Goff: Three touchdowns in win
Jared Goff completed 18 of 25 passes for 315 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys. He added three rushes for five yards.The Detroit Lions played ahead for nearly the entire game, limiting Goff to 25 or fewer pass attempts for the third straight game. However, he overcame that with an exceptionally efficient day, including six completions that went for gains of at least 20 yards. Two of those were touchdowns, highlighted by a 52-yard pass on a trick play to Sam LaPorta early in the second quarter and a 37-yard toss to Jameson Williams one quarter later.

Lions' Jared Goff: Record performance in Week 4 win
Jared Goff completed 18 of 18 pass attempts for 292 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, caught a seven-yard touchdown pass on his only target and rushed twice for minus-2 yards in the Detroit Lions' 42-29 win over the Seahawks on Monday night.Per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Goff became the first quarterback in NFL history to finish a game with a perfect completion percentage on more than 10 attempts and with over 200 passing yards, underscoring how locked in he was during the wild win. The touchdown grab on a Motor City version of the famed Philly Special was an added bonus, with Goff on the receiving end of an Amon-Ra St. Brown pass just past the midway point of the third quarter. Goff also connected with St. Brown for an eight-yard touchdown toss, but the biggest play of his night was a 70-yard scoring strike to Jameson Williams late in the third quarter that extended a 28-20 lead. Goff now has back-to-back two-touchdown-pass tallies heading into a Week 5 bye, and he should be in store for another busy day when Detroit returns to action on the road against the Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Lions' Jared Goff: Hot start in Week 3 win
Jared Goff completed 18 of 23 passes for 198 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.Goff threw a five-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown in the second quarter and caught a break later in the first half, as a pick-six was wiped off the board when officials ruled that the play shouldn't count because the ball wasn't snapped prior to the two-minute warning. Instead of a Cardinals touchdown, that drive eventually ended in a one-yard Goff pass to St. Brown, who latereled to Jahmyr Gibbs, who proceeded to run 20 yards into the end zone on a play that was credited as Goff's second passing touchdown of the game. Goff completed just four of his last nine passes with an interception after hitting his first 14 throws that counted, but Detroit managed to hang on for the win despite Goff's poor second half. He'll bring an underwhelming 3:4 TD:INT into a Week 4 home game against the Seahawks on MNF.
