Lions post best offensive performance in franchise history in 52-6 win over Jaguars

Sunday was a field day for the Detroit Lions. They cruised to a 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars to move to 9-1 on the year. In the process, they set a franchise record with 645 yards of offense. Their previous record was 623.

Jared Goff finished 24-of-29 for 412 yards and four touchdowns. He finished with a perfect passer rating of 158.3. Backup quarterback Hendon Hooker added 37 yards on 3-of-4 passing. Detroit also rushed for 196 yards and three touchdowns. David Montgomery (15 rushes, 75 yards, two touchdowns) and Jahmyr Gibbs (11 rushes, 69 yards, one touchdown) combined for 144 yards and three touchdowns.

Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams both broke the century mark Sunday. St. Brown caught 11 passes for 161 yards and two touchdowns, while Williams caught four passes for 124 yards and a touchdown. Gibbs also had a 54-yard reception. A friendly reminder that tight end Sam LaPorta did not play in this game due to injury.

The kicking game deserves some love as well. Jake Bates nailed all seven of his extra point attempts and made his long field-goal attempt, contributing ten points.

Overall, an extremely fun day for the Lions. By the way, the Jaguars had just 170 yards of offense.
