Despite the formidable challenge, the Lions’ star QB orchestrated a touchdown drive, securing a thrilling 21-20 victory. The defense exceeded all expectations, intercepting one of Mahomes’ passes and returning it for a game-changing 50-yard touchdown.

In a similar fashion, Goff has shown dominance against the Jets‘ pride, Aaron Rodgers, holding a commanding 3-1 lead in their four encounters during the 4x MVP’s time with the Packers.
