NFL MNF: Jared Goff achieves historic 18-for-18 perfect passing game as Lions outduel Seahawks 42-29
FINAL: Detroit Lions 42, Seattle Seahawks 29. Jared Goff shatters the NFL record for consecutive completions without an incompletion, while Detroit's offense erupts for six touchdowns at Ford Field.
Lions 42, Seahawks 29: Goff 18/18, 292 yds, 2 passing TDs, 1 receiving TD; Gibbs 2 rushing TDs; Walker 3 TDs for Seattle
Why this one matters: Ford Field bore witness to history on Monday night as Jared Goff orchestrated an offensive masterpiece that will live forever in NFL record books.
Goff completed all 18 of his pass attempts for 292 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions, finishing with an impossible 100 percent completion rate that eclipsed Kurt Warner's previous 10-for-10 record. To cap off the spectacle, Goff even hauled in a 7-yard touchdown pass on a trick play thrown by Amon-Ra St. Brown in the third quarter.
Seattle fought with relentless courage behind Kenneth Walker III, who punched in three touchdowns, and Geno Smith, who threw for 395 yards on 56 attempts. But Detroit's two-headed ground monster of Jahmyr Gibbs (two rushing touchdowns) and David Montgomery (40 yards, one touchdown) repeatedly bludgeoned Seattle's front. Kerby Joseph sealed the 42-29 victory with an interception in the end zone with two minutes remaining, lifting Detroit to 3-1 and handing Seattle their first defeat.
