The Detroit Lions made a statement Sunday with a dominant 52-6 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The win, which extended the Lions’ streak to eight consecutive games, included several historic milestones:
8 — The number of consecutive games in which Amon-Ra St. Brown has caught a touchdown pass, tying the third-longest single-season streak in NFL history since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.
24 — The number of consecutive games, including the postseason, in which the Lions have scored a rushing touchdown, extending their NFL-record streak. This also ties the third-longest regular-season streak in NFL history with the 1974-76 Dolphins.
412 — The number of passing yards Jared Goff threw for, completing 24 of 29 passes for four touchdowns. Goff posted a perfect passer rating of 158.3, bouncing back from a tough 5-INT outing last week.
161 — The number of receiving yards for Amon-Ra St. Brown, who extended his franchise-record streak to eight straight games with a touchdown reception, adding two touchdowns on the day.
10+ — The number of rushing touchdowns David Montgomery has now scored in back-to-back seasons, marking a rare feat for the Lions’ running back. He is now the third player in franchise history to rush for 10+ touchdowns in consecutive seasons, joining Barry Sanders and Billy Sims.
800+ — The combined scrimmage yards for Lions running backs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs through the first 10 games of the 2024 season. The duo is the only running back tandem in NFL history to each surpass 800 scrimmage yards and 9+ touchdowns through the first 10 games of any season.
2 — The number of games the Lions have produced with 7 touchdowns and 50 points this season, marking the first time in franchise history they’ve achieved this feat.
9-1 — Detroit’s record after the win, their best start since 1962, keeping them in control of the NFC’s top playoff spot. With eight-straight wins, they’ve also notched their longest winning streak in a season since 1934.
The Lions remain the team to beat in the NFC, with their offense clicking on all cylinders and their defense continuing to shine. They’ll look to extend their historic run next week in Indianapolis.
