During the Detroit Lions' Monday Night Football win over the Seattle Seahawks, Lions quarterback Jared Goff not only had a perfect night throwing the football, but he also recorded his first-ever touchdown reception.
Goff completed all 18 of his passing attempts, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history with 15 or more pass attempts and zero incompletions in a game. To add to the historic performance, he caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Amon-Ra St. Brown.
In his excitement after catching the touchdown pass, Goff threw the football high into the stands at Ford Field. A lucky fan caught the ball, but in a show of great sportsmanship, the fan returned the ball to the Detroit Lions so Goff could keep the special memento from his unforgettable night.
In response to the fan’s classy gesture, Goff decided to reward them with a signed, game-worn jersey and a pair of field passes for the Lions' next home game against the Tennessee Titans. The moment has resonated with fans, showing the strong connection between Goff and the Lions' fanbase.
