By Drooid · · How we work
Season Performance Highlights
In the first five games of the 2026 NFL season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has completed 67 percent of his pass attempts, amassed 1,485 passing yards, thrown 12 touchdowns and recorded no interceptions. He added a one-yard rushing touchdown during the Week 5 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, bringing the Lions to a 3-2 record as they head into their bye week.
Record-Setting Streak
Goff’s three-touchdown effort against Arizona extended his run of games with at least one passing touchdown to 28 consecutive contests. This marks the longest active streak in the league and the longest such streak in Lions franchise history. Moreover, Goff becomes only the second player in NFL history to reach a minimum of 12 touchdowns without an interception through the first five games of a season.
Historical Comparison
The only other quarterback to achieve a comparable start—12 or more touchdowns with zero interceptions in the first five games—has done so in a league that spans more than a century, underscoring the rarity of Goff’s early-season efficiency.
Coach Dan Campbell’s Assessment
Head coach Dan Campbell praised Goff’s performance, stating that the quarterback is “as good as they come,” a sentiment that reflects the coaching staff’s confidence in his continued production.
Outlook
Following the upcoming bye, the Lions will resume play in Week 7 against division rival the Green Bay Packers, a matchup that will test whether Goff can sustain his historic streak and the team’s early-season momentum.
