California: Wow, what a game! Jared Goff really showed up for the Detroit Lions. He threw for three touchdowns and racked up 303 yards. The Lions pulled off a stunning comeback to beat the San Francisco 49ers 40-34.
Goff was on fire, completing 26 of 34 passes. He connected with Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, and Amon-Ra St. Brown for those touchdowns. This win marks their 14th victory in just 16 games this season!
Next up, the Lions are set to face the Minnesota Vikings, who also have a solid 14-2 record. This game will determine the NFC North champion and who gets that coveted first-round bye in the playoffs.
And you know what? This win was sweet revenge for the Lions after losing to the 49ers in last season’s NFC Championship. They were so close to their first Super Bowl appearance!
On the other side, Brock Purdy, the 49ers quarterback, had a great game too. He threw for a career-high 377 yards and three touchdowns, plus he rushed for another score. But he did throw two interceptions in the second half, which really hurt their chances.
It’s been a tough season for the 49ers, especially after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2024 Super Bowl. This year, they won’t be heading to the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
