The Detroit Lions have been making waves this football season, especially with their impressive offensive performances. As the final week of the season approached, the Lions held the title of the best scoring offense, averaging an impressive 32. 9 points per game. In their recent win against the San Francisco 49ers, they achieved two remarkable milestones that have never been seen before in NFL history.
Firstly, the Lions became the first team to score 40 points in five games without turning the ball over. This includes games against the Seahawks, Cowboys, Titans, and Jaguars. This achievement showcases not only their offensive power but also their careful handling of the football. Throughout the season, the Lions have been among the teams with the fewest giveaways, having just 13 total.
Secondly, the Lions made history by having four players reach 1, 000 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns each. This diverse group includes two running backs and two wide receivers. No other team has accomplished this feat with such a combination of players. Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jameson Williams are the stars leading this offensive charge.
Quarterback Jared Goff has been instrumental in this success. His career-high statistics include being second in yardage, yards per attempt, and passer rating. Coach Dan Campbell praised Goff, stating that he's playing at an incredibly high level.
