“I’m just focused on winning for the team, but the records keep stacking up, and it’s an honor to be mentioned with the best.” — Jared Goff on his record-setting performance in Detroit Lions’ dominant 44-22 win against the Washington Commanders.
Jared Goff’s incredible season continues to turn heads across the NFL as the Detroit Lions’ starting quarterback adds yet another chapter to his historic career. In a commanding 44-22 victory over the Washington Commanders, Goff not only propelled his team to a 6-3 record but also reached new heights that solidified his status as one of the league’s top quarterbacks.
Goff’s 320 yards and three touchdowns against Washington are just the latest in a season that has seen him shatter multiple Lions’ records. With this victory, Goff’s total passing yards for the season now stands at 2,235, with 20 touchdowns—tied for the second-most in franchise history in a single season. He now ranks alongside Lions legend Matthew Stafford (who threw 20 TD passes in 2011) and Bobby Layne (24 TD passes in 1954), and only Stafford’s 41 touchdowns in 2011 stand ahead of him.
But Goff’s accomplishments don’t stop there. His career-long ability to reach the 300-yard passing mark continues to impress as he recorded his 44th career game with 300+ yards, putting him in the company of NFL greats like Dan Marino and Drew Brees for the most such games in the first 10 seasons of a career. With eight games still remaining in the season, Goff has a real chance to close the gap on Patrick Mahomes and Matt Ryan, who sit ahead of him with 49 and 45 300-yard games, respectively.
On top of his yardage and touchdown milestones, Goff also set a new NFL record for the most consecutive away games with a completion percentage over 70%, marking his eighth straight game with such a feat. His performance in Week 10 added to his legacy, with his passer rating also surpassing 100 for the 65th time in his career, ranking him fourth in NFL history for quarterbacks in their first 10 seasons.
Most notably, Goff’s completion rate of 74% this season is the best in the NFL, making him one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the league and cementing his place among the elite. With his stellar numbers and continued improvement, Goff’s 2025 campaign is shaping up to be the best in Detroit Lions’ history, outpacing even legendary quarterbacks who came before him.
As Goff’s name continues to climb the ranks of NFL history, it’s clear that his decision to return to Detroit in 2021 was a pivotal moment. With head coach Dan Campbell’s leadership and the support of a top-tier offense, Goff is turning into one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in the league. While Stafford has excelled with the Los Angeles Rams, Goff is proving that his place in Detroit’s legacy is only just beginning, and his best years are still ahead of him.

“The streak is everything to me, but I can’t deny the toll it’s taking. I’ve had to dig deep, push past limits that most players wouldn’t even think about. Every time I step on that ice, it’s for the team. But, honestly, it’s getting harder to ignore the pain. I’ll keep going until I can’t, but I know this won’t last forever.”
— Nick Suzuki opens up on his mental and physical battle as the pressure mounts to maintain his consecutive games streak amid mounting injuries.
The stakes have never been higher for Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki as his legendary ironman streak faces its toughest challenge yet. Despite battling a foot injury and missing practice this week, Suzuki returned to the ice, continuing his 471-game streak—the second-longest active streak in the NHL. But with each passing game, the question lingers: How much longer can the 26-year-old push through the pain?
In a shocking admission, Suzuki confesses that his body is beginning to betray him, and the burden of keeping this streak alive is becoming heavier with each game. His commitment to the Canadiens and his unwavering desire to lead his team is admirable, but the physical toll is undeniable. With his foot injury already limiting his performance, Suzuki remains determined to fight on, but the future of his streak seems uncertain.
Meanwhile, the injury woes continue to pile up across the NHL. Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews is sidelined for at least a week due to a lower-body injury, casting doubt on his ability to carry his team in the coming games. Matthews’ injury, though not considered serious, has left Leafs fans on edge as they worry about the long-term impact on their star player’s performance.
And it’s not just the Leafs who are feeling the strain—Columbus Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner is dealing with a significant upper-body injury, and while the full extent is still unknown, head coach Dean Evason has confirmed it won’t be a short-term issue. This injury comes on the heels of Jenner’s inconsistent health record, adding more uncertainty to a team already struggling to find its footing.
With key players like Suzuki, Matthews, and Jenner now fighting for their health, the pressure is mounting on the entire NHL. These injuries not only shake up the immediate playoff race but also raise questions about the long-term health of the league’s top stars. Will Suzuki’s streak end? Can Matthews recover in time? Is Jenner’s future with the Blue Jackets in jeopardy?
The drama continues to unfold as the NHL’s most iconic players battle through the grind of an unforgiving season. One thing is certain: the injury report is as crucial as ever, and every game from here on out could have massive implications for the players, their teams, and the league itself.
