Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions capped off Week 4 of the 2025 NFL season with a 38-30 win over Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens on "Monday Night Football." The Lions secured their second straight win, jumping to 2-1 on the season, while the Ravens fell to 1-2.

While Goff and Detroit may have walked away with the win, it was Jackson who won the quarterback head-to-head, at least on the stat sheet. The two-time NFL MVP completed 21-of-27 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns while adding 35 yards on the ground. Goff, on the other hand, completed 20-of-28 passes for 202 yards and one score.

While Week 4's edition brought an intriguing quarterback matchup, the game was won on the ground, as Lions running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery combined for 218 rushing yards and four touchdowns, while the Ravens' Derrick Henry managed 50 yards, one touchdown and a fumble lost.

After Lions vs. Ravens, Goff and Jackson linked up for the customary postgame handshake. The two greeted each other midfield and exchanged a few words before heading their separate ways. The NFL posted a video of the handshake on social media.

"Jared Goff Lamar Jackson," the NFL wrote on X.
