Jared Goff’s Impressive Stats and Trends Ahead of Week 10 Matchup Against Houston Texans
Jared Goff, the quarterback for the Detroit Lions, is having a standout season as he prepares to face the Houston Texans in Week 10. Goff has been highly efficient, leading the NFL in completion percentage with a remarkable 74.9% completion rate. He has thrown for 1,840 yards, 14 touchdowns, and four interceptions through the first eight games of the season[2].
In terms of passing yards, Goff averages 230.0 yards per game, which is slightly below his over/under of 232.5 yards for the upcoming game against the Texans. He has exceeded this passing yards prop total in four of the eight games played this season[1]. Goff has also been consistent in throwing touchdown passes, doing so in seven of the eight games, with five of those games including multiple touchdown passes.
Goff’s accuracy and decision-making have been praised by opponents. Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke noted that Goff is “very well-coached” and does a great job of protecting the football, making smart decisions, and getting the ball to his check-downs to maintain positive yardage[2].
Despite the Texans having a strong pass defense, ranking third in the NFL by allowing only 167.4 yards per game through the air, Goff’s efficiency and the Lions’ overall offensive strategy could still pose a challenge. The Lions have been successful on offense, ranking 15th in the NFL with an average of 217.0 passing yards per game, and they are also strong on the ground, averaging 152.6 rushing yards per game[1].
Goff’s performance has also been highlighted by his ability to avoid interceptions; since the third game of the season, he has completed 82.8% of his throws without any interceptions[2]. This level of efficiency has contributed significantly to the Lions’ 7-1 record this season.
