### Jared Goff's Quest for Unprecedented NFL Completion Record

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is on the verge of making NFL history this season. Already, Goff has achieved a completion percentage of 74.9 percent, putting him within striking distance of a groundbreaking milestone: completing three-quarters of his passes in a season — a feat that has never been accomplished in the league's history.

Should Goff connect on his initial pass against the Texans on Sunday night, his completion rate will notch up to exactly 75.0 percent for the 2024 season. The current NFL record for completion percentage in a season is held by Drew Brees, who managed a remarkable 74.44 percent while playing for the Saints in 2018. Brees also boasts the second and third highest percentages ever recorded, with 74.34 percent in 2019 and 72.01 percent in 2017, respectively.

Goff's recent performance has been extraordinary; over the last six games, he has completed an astonishing 82.8 percent of his passes. This level of accuracy has never been seen over a six-game period in NFL history, pushing Goff's achievements into uncharted territory. His exceptional precision is a significant contributing factor to why the Lions are currently regarded as the best team in the NFL.

In a season where records could be re-written, all eyes are keenly focused on Goff as he strives to achieve what no other quarterback has done before.
