Jared Goff stars in Detroit Lions’ win against San Francisco 49ers
Jared Goff threw for three touchdowns and 303 yards as the Detroit Lions came from behind to beat the San Francisco 49ers 40-34.
The 30-year-old quarterback completed 26 of 34 passes, setting up touchdowns to Jameson Williams, Sam Laporta and Amon-Ra St. Brown to help the Lions 14 wins in 16 games this season.
The Lions will face the 14-2 Minnesota Vikings on Sunday to determine the winner of the NFC North and which team will become the NFC’s No. 1 seed and earn a first-round bye in the play-in games. Chance.
The Lions’ victory over the 49ers was revenge for last season’s NFC championship loss, which kept them from their first Super Bowl appearance.
49ers quarterback Brock Purdy passed for a career-high 377 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for another score. However, he was intercepted twice in the second half after leading 21-13 at halftime.
The 49ers were defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2024 Super Bowl and failed to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season.
