Jared Goff pulled off positive passing mark that Matthew Stafford never did in Detroit

USA Today

The passing section of the Detroit Lions franchise record book is dominated by one name: Matthew Stafford. But the man traded for Stafford has etched his name into the annals by pulling off a positive passing feat Stafford never did in his 12 years in Detroit.

When Goff threw his fourth TD pass in the Lions win over the Broncos, it was his 25th on the season. Goff threw 29 touchdowns for Detroit in 2022, giving him back-to-back seasons with at least 25 TD passes. Oddly enough, Stafford never did that while with the Lions.

Even better, Goff got there in just 14 games (so far) this season. He’s got a chance to build on it.

Thanks to Ash Thompson of the Detroit Lions Podcast for shining a light on Goff’s accomplishment.
