On September 30, in a Week 4 win against the Seattle Seahawks, Jared Goff completed all 18 of his pass attempts for 292 yards and 2 passing touchdowns while also receiving a touchdown pass from wide receiver Amon-Ra St.
Brown. With this performance, Goff became the first quarterback in an
NFL game to finish with a 100% completion percentage when attempting at least 15 passes.
Goff set an NFL record by completing all 18 of his passes in a perfect game for the Detroit Lions, helping them defeat the Seattle Seahawks 42-29. “It’s good when the ball doesn’t hit the ground … I was trying to remember if I had an incompletion and I couldn’t quite tell but I knew I had a chance,” Goff said when asked if he was aware during the game he was on course to make history.
Goff made his career debut with a touchdown reception, catching a pass from Amon-Ra St Brown. He also threw one of his two touchdown passes to St Brown, becoming the eighth duo in league history to throw and catch a touchdown from each other. St Brown's pass was a trick play, while Goff's touchdown was an eight-yarder. Goff set a personal record by completing his first 14 passes in Detroit's win against Arizona, tying it for over a week. He also threw a pass to Jameson Williams, who scored a 70-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
He played college football for the California Golden Bears, where he set Pac-12 Conference season records for passing yards and passing touchdowns, and was selected first overall by the Los Angeles Rams in the 2016 NFL draft. Goff had a breakout season in 2017 when he helped lead the Rams to their first playoff appearance since 2004. The following year, Goff led the Rams to Super Bowl LIII. He also received Pro Bowl honors in both seasons
