Jared Goff Joins Elite Company with Another Stellar Performance in Lions’ Victory over Vikings

Dr. Jesse Morse breaks down an oblique injury Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff is dealing with.

Detroit quarterback Jared Goff completed 22 of 25 pass attempts (88 percent) for 280 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions and a 140.0 passer rating in the Lions’ 31-29 victory at Minnesota.

Goff, who had a 153.8 passer rating in Week 6 and a 155.8 passer rating in Week 4 prior to Detroit’s Week 5 bye, is the fourth quarterback in NFL history with a passer rating of 140-or-higher in three consecutive games, joining Aaron Rodgers (Weeks 7-10, 2011), as well as Pro Football Hall of Famers Roger Staubach (Weeks 11-13, 1971) and Kurt Warner (Weeks 3-5, 1999).

Here’s the entire list of players who have gone 4 straight games with an 80% completion percentage and passer rating of over 140 since the AFL/NFL merger of 1970:
