**Jared Goff Shines on Monday Night, Wins NFC Offensive Player of the Week**
In a stellar display of skills, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been honored as the NFC Offensive Player of the Week following his exceptional performance against the Seattle Seahawks on "Monday Night Football."
Goff's flawless execution was on full display as he completed all 18 of his passing attempts, amassing 292 yards and securing two touchdowns. This remarkable feat set an NFL record for the most completions in a game without a single incompletion. Lions head coach Dan Campbell highlighted Goff's ability to find his rhythm early in the game. “He was seeing the field well and played with rhythm," Campbell noted, adding that a critical play involving Jameson Williams set the tone for the quarterback’s outstanding night.
Goff didn't just excel in his passing game; he also surprised fans and players alike by catching a touchdown pass from Amon-Ra St. Brown in a perfectly executed trick play. Reflecting on this unique moment, Goff said, "I think that's my first one too, ever. I'm saying all the way back to seven years old—I think that's my first one."
This recognition marks the sixth time Goff has received the NFC Offensive Player of the Week award, and his third accolade since joining the Lions. He previously earned this honor in Week 6 of the last season after a standout performance against the Buccaneers where he recorded 353 yards and two touchdowns.
The Lions have been on an impressive streak with weekly awards, as punter Jack Fox was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after his excellent game against the Cardinals just a week prior. While Aidan Hutchinson’s phenomenal 4.5-sack performance in Week 2 somehow did not earn him the NFC Defensive Player of the Week, the Lions' recent accolades highlight the team's rising talent and noteworthy displays on the field.
