The Detroit Lions public relations department has been working overtime with the number of records and accolades they've shared about their starting quarterback, Jared Goff, over the last few weeks.
Most recently, Goff accumulated even more history-breaking moments against the Washington Commanders in a 44-22 blowout of their NFC opponent on the road.
Goff's 320-yard performance, along with three touchdowns, helped improve the Lions record to 6-3, bringing his midseason totals to 2,235 passing yards and 20 touchdowns. He also joined elite company during the game, according to the Lions' social media channels.
Goff's accolades reached after Week 10 stuff the stat sheet
Goff's 20 touchdown passes through nine games this season are the second most in franchise history. He's currently tied for second with Matthew Stafford (20 in 2011), and behind Bobby Layne, who threw 24 through nine games in 1954. Stafford currently holds the Lions record for most passing touchdowns in a season with 41 back in 2011.
·Goff also produced his 44th 300-yard passing effort during the Lions' victory in Week 10. This ties him with Dan Marino and Drew Brees through the first 10 seasons of their careers.
Patrick Mahomes (49) and Matt Ryan (45) are the only two quarterbacks ahead of Goff, and with eight games left, the Lions' franchise quarterback has plenty of opportunities to close the gap, especially with the lack of success Mahomes' Chiefs have had this year.

Goff also managed to produce his 8th straight road game of a completion percentage of over 70 percent, which is an NFL record. He also had his 65th game of a passer rating of over 100, which is the 4th most in NFL history within the first 10 seasons of anyone's career. Russel Wilson (83), Dak Prescott (67), and Matt Ryan (67) are currently ahead of Goff.
It's also worth noting that Goff's 74 percent completion rate is first in the NFL through 10 weeks of play.
Goff's 2025 season is on pace to potentially be the best in Lions history between efficiency and major statistical categories for Lions quarterbacks. It's another season that we can add to the running list we, and the Lions' PR, have on Goff to show why Detroit's choice to swing for him back in 2021 made sense.
While Stafford continues to thrive with the Los Angeles Rams, Goff continues to grow as one of the Lions' best quarterbacks ever under Dan Campbell and an elite offense around him.
