Lions’ Jared Goff Sees 30-Game TD Pass Streak End in Win Over Dolphins

The Detroit Lions secured a 19-9 victory over the Miami Dolphins, ending their quarterback Jared Goff's streak of 30 consecutive regular-season games with a touchdown pass. The Lions' defense and kicker played crucial roles in the win, as the offensive showcase did not materialize as it often does with Goff. In the end, the Lions improved to a 6-2 record.

Goff completed 17 of his 25 passes for 170 yards and an interception, but he did not throw a touchdown pass in the game. This marked the end of his NFL-longest active streak that began on Thanksgiving four days after Detroit's initial game against the Chicago Bears. Miami's strong defensive play contained the Lions' passing game, but Goff praised the opponent's efforts, noting that they played with good depth and kept the ball underneath.

Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs contributed with an eight-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-1 in the third quarter. Detroit kicker Jake Bates successfully made all four of his field-goal attempts, and the Lions kept Miami from scoring in the end zone. Late in the game, Goff connected with wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown on a screen pass for a 17-yard gain, setting up a 43-yard field goal by Bates that extended Detroit's winning streak to four games.
