Jared Goff delivered a flawless performance on Monday night, leading the Detroit Lions to an exhilarating 42-29 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4. In a game that will go down in NFL history, Goff didn’t make a single mistake through the air, completing every one of his passes and setting a new league record.
Goff made NFL history by completing all 18 of his pass attempts, setting the record for the most pass attempts in a single game without an incompletion. The previous record of 10-for-10, held by Hall of Famer Kurt Warner in a 2005 game for the Arizona Cardinals, was easily surpassed by Goff’s impeccable display.
In his postgame interview, Goff seemed unaware of the historic feat he had just accomplished. When informed that he finished the game 18-for-18, the Lions quarterback was taken by surprise. “Was I?” Goff responded with a smile. “There you go, yeah. It’s good. When the ball doesn’t hit the ground, it’s a good day.”
The quarterback admitted that he wasn’t entirely sure about his perfect game during the contest. “You know, I wasn’t sure,” Goff said when asked if he knew he hadn’t thrown an incompletion. “I was trying to remember if I had an incompletion. I couldn’t quite tell, but I knew I had a chance.”

Goff’s historic night wasn’t just about accuracy—it was also filled with big plays. He threw for 292 passing yards and added two touchdowns through the air.
In a surprising twist, Goff also caught his first-ever touchdown reception, hauling in a pass from star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Impressively, Goff finished the game with more receiving touchdowns than incomplete passes, underscoring just how remarkable his performance was.
With his record-setting game, Goff joins a short list of quarterbacks who have delivered perfect performances. It also highlights his continued growth and consistency as the leader of the Lions’ offense.
Goff’s chemistry with his receivers, particularly St. Brown, was on full display, and his precision kept the Seahawks’ defense on their heels all night.
As the Lions head into their bye week in Week 5, Goff will have some extra time to savor his moment of perfection. Detroit will return to the field in Week 6 for a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, where Goff will look to build on his momentum and lead the Lions deeper into the season.
For now, though, Jared Goff’s flawless game will stand as one of the shining moments of the 2024 NFL season, a performance that cements his place in the league’s history books.
