Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions secured their second-straight win in Week 3, taking down Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens on the road. With the win, the Lions move to 2-1 on the 2025 NFL season, tied for first place in the NFC North with the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. Against the Ravens, Detroit relied heavily on the run, with David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs combining for four touchdowns.

Still, Goff had a nice game in the season's third edition of "Monday Night Football," completing 20-of-28 passes (71.4%) for 202 yards and one touchdown strike to Amon-Ra St. Brown. And through three games in 2025, Goff has now completed 74-of-95 passes (77.9%) for 761 yards and seven touchdowns to one interception.

The former California quarterback also has an impressive passer rating of 120.2 through three games, fourth in the NFL. Jackson is in first at 141.8.

With his hot start to the new season, Goff joins some legendary company, becoming one of just four quarterbacks to accomplish this historic feat through the first three games of any season:

Throw for seven or more touchdowns
77.0% or higher completion rate
Passer rating of 120.0 or more

Goff (2025) joins some of the best quarterbacks the league has ever seen, including former Kansas City Chiefs star Alex Smith (2018), New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees (2018) and seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady (2007).

"The only QBs in @NFL history to throw for 7+ TDs, complete at least 77.0% of their passes & accumulate a 120.0+ passer rating through the first three games of any season: 1. @Lions QB @JaredGoff16 (2025) 2. Drew Brees (2018) 3. Alex Smith (2017) 4. Tom Brady (2007)."
