Lions quarterback Jared Goff took full advantage of his opportunity to shine during the Pro Bowl Games Thursday.
The MVP finalist took part in the event called “Passing the Test”, in which a quarterback was paired with a wide receiver who answered trivia questions. Each correct answer added ten seconds to the quarterback’s base time of 40 seconds.
Goff’s partner was Packers running back Josh Jacobs. Jacobs answered five questions correctly, adding 50 seconds to Goff’s base of 40, giving him 1:30 on the clock.
Goff then had to throw at numerous targets, ranging from 1-5 points. Goff hit all nine targets, allowing the targets to reset. He added 17 more won his second round of targets, giving him a total of 44 points, a score that held up and was the winning point total, beating out Sam Darnold’s 39 points and putting three team points on the board for the NFC.
Thanks to Josh Jacobs giving him some extra time, Jared Goff puts up 44 points for the NFC in Passing the Test 💪
