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.

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.
