Record-Breaking Goff-Williams Connection Propels Lions to Historic 59th Touchdown
For the second consecutive year, the Detroit Lions have set a new franchise record for touchdowns in a single season. During their Week 16 clash against the Chicago Bears, quarterback Jared Goff connected with wide receiver Jameson Williams for a second-quarter touchdown, marking the Lions’ 59th touchdown of the 2024 regular season. This surpasses the previous record of 58 touchdowns, set in 2023 under the creative guidance of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson’s “Goff-ense.”
The play was not only historic for the team but also a personal milestone for Goff, as it marked the longest completion of his career. Williams’ dazzling 60-plus-yard touchdown was his third of the season, tying a Lions record set by Cloyce Box back in 1952. The Lions’ dynamic offense, powered by Goff’s precision and Williams’ explosive speed, continues to rewrite franchise history, solidifying their reputation as one of the NFL’s most electrifying teams.
