Dan Campbell hilariously kept game ball from Jared Goff after historic performance

For anybody worried about Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff after a somewhat slow start to his 2024 season, they can put those worries to bed at this very moment.

Goff had begun the season looking a little off and over his first three games, never surpassed a total QBR over 41.1.

Then, Monday Night Football happened and Goff quickly made people forget about the early season rust.

Against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night, Goff set the football field on fire, finishing a perfect 18-of-18 for 292 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions and even added a receiving touchdown on a sweet play and pass from wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.

On a night where the Lions dropped 42 points on the Seahawks, there were a lot of excellent performances to highlight. However, none were more impressive than Goff's. For that, you'd think Goff would have walked away with a game ball, right?

Go ahead and search for any gif entitled "oopsie," and throw it in right about now.

Following the game, head coach Dan Campbell was asked about Goff's perfect performance and quickly realized he had made a mistake.

"Well, I just gave the game ball to somebody else. So I feel awful right now," Campbell told reporters as the room echoed with belly laughter.

Campbell went on to note that he knew Goff played a "heck of a game" but did not realize he was perfect.

In the end, on a night like this one, all can be forgiven considering the monstrous performance the Lions put on as a team. And of course, we all know how much Campbell loves his quarterback.

Chalk this one up as an honest mistake.

Jared Goff made NFL history on Monday Night Football

After what he did against Seattle on Monday night, Goff broke two NFL records.

He attempted the most passes ever without an incompletion, which was a record previously held by Kurt Warner when he went 10-for-10 back in 2005 with the Cardinals.

Goff also shattered the record for most passing yards without an incompletion, which was previously held by Washington quarterback Frank Filchock and set back in 1939.

Again, after he began the season a little slow, Goff looks as good as ever, as does the Lions offense. There were some question marks about the inconsistencies fans have seen through three games, and despite coming in with a record of 2-1, the Lions still had much to prove.

Goff and the offense did so with their historic performance and will now head into an early bye during Week 5 before they get set to face the Dallas Cowboys in a Week 6 late afternoon tilt.
