Dan Campbell knew Jared Goff was good at the Detroit Lions 44-29 win over the Seattle Seahawks Monday night. But he didn’t know exactly how well.

The experienced signal caller has a NFL record, completing all 18 passes to put the Seahawks on the run. He surpassed Kurt Warner’s previous mark in 2005 when he went 10 for 10 for the Arizona Cardinals.

“It’s actually what we should be doing,” Goff said of the performance.

Such a big night would normally warrant earning the game ball, but Campbell didn’t find out just how good Goff’s night was until his post-game press conference with the media.

“Well, I just gave the game ball to someone else, so I feel terrible right now,” Campbell admitted with a laugh. “I knew he played a great game, but I didn’t realize he was perfect. I didn’t know he was literally 18 for 18. But I knew he played very well, you could feel it.”

“I gave it to (Jameson Williams) and (Kerby Joseph),” he added.

It was a fair assessment: the Lions controlled the game on both sides of the ball.

‘It was quite a victory’ Campbell said. “I thought what we did really well was we played complementary football, and that’s what good teams do.”
