Seattle Seahawks were beaten for the first time this season as Jared Goff starred in a stunning 42-29 victory for the Detroit Lions, showcasing a remarkable performance that had fans buzzing. Goff completed all 18 of his pass attempts, marking the most in an NFL game without an incompletion, including two perfect throws that resulted in touchdowns, further cementing his reputation as a rising star in the league.
In a twist of fate, the quarterback also scored his first career receiving touchdown, adding a unique highlight to the game. The result leaves both teams with identical records of 3-1 for the season, setting the stage for an exciting competitive landscape as the season progresses.
For the Seahawks, Geno Smith had an impressive day, throwing for 395 passing yards and achieving 38 completions from 56 attempts, both of which are career highs. Despite his efforts, which included one touchdown pass, he was also intercepted once, highlighting the challenges faced against a formidable Lions defense.
Playing at home at Ford Field, the Lions took a commanding lead, thanks in part to Jahmyr Gibbs, who scored two crucial touchdowns, along with a contribution from David Montgomery. By the time halftime rolled around, Detroit was up 21-7, showcasing their offensive prowess and ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
The Seahawks did not back down easily, rallying to narrow the gap and move within one score of the Lions. However, Goff demonstrated his skill and composure by finding Jameson Williams for a 70-yard touchdown, pushing the score to 35-20 as the teams entered the final quarter of the game.
Kenneth Walker III made a crucial 21-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, reigniting hope for the Seahawks and reducing the deficit. However, Goff quickly responded, locating Amon-Ra St. Brown in the end zone, effectively sealing the victory for Detroit.
Earlier in the game, it was St. Brown who executed a stellar trick play, passing to Goff for the quarterback’s own touchdown, highlighting the creativity and ingenuity that the Lions displayed throughout the match.
The Lions remain in second place in the competitive NFC North behind the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. Despite the defeat, the Seahawks maintain their position at the top of the NFC West, demonstrating resilience and potential for the remainder of the season.
The Vikings and Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, stand out as the only teams in the NFL with a perfect 4-0 record, creating a thrilling atmosphere for fans as the playoff race heats up.
