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 defeat the San Francisco 49ers 40-34 in California.

The 30-year-old quarterback completed 26 of his 34 passes, finding Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St Brown for touchdowns as the Lions made it 14 wins from 16 games this season.

On Sunday, the Lions host the Minnesota Vikings, who also have a 14-2 record, to decide the winners of the NFC North and which of them will be the NFC top seed and get a first-round bye in the play-offs.

The Lions’ victory over the 49ers was a level of revenge for last season’s NFC Championship defeat, which prevented them from appearing in their first Super Bowl.

Brock Purdy, the 49ers quarterback, 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 his side led 21-13 at half-time.

The 49ers, beaten by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2024 Super Bowl, have failed to reach the post-season for the first time since the 2020 season.
