Week 4 of the NFL season concluded Monday night with another doubleheader, with one meeting between teams flying high and the other between two teams looking to get their season started in earnest.

Sunday’s action was filled with dramatic results, outstanding individual performances and shocking results, and while Monday’s lacked the late drama, it continued with interesting notes and history being made.

Here are the main storylines from Monday’s two matches:

If Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff could have figured out how he wanted Monday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks to go, it probably would have been at good to imagine.

The 29-year-old didn’t throw a single incompletion in the 42-29 win, going 18-for-18 for 292 yards and two touchdowns, including a 70-yard TD throw to Jameson Williams.

In doing so, Goff became the first QB in NFL history to attempt more than 10 passes in a game without throwing an incompletion, according to the NFL.

When ESPN’s Lisa Salters asked him about his perfect accuracy that night, Goff didn’t even realize he hadn’t missed a pass. And after thinking about it for a moment, he was subdued in his response.

“Awesome. Yeah, really cool,” Goff said of making history. “It’s cool to have, I guess, but I’m glad we got the win.”

Plus, the night got even better for Goff when he caught his first-ever touchdown pass on a trick play when Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown threw the ball to him midway through the third quarter.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said he felt “terrible” after handing the match ball to Williams before being told of Goff’s historic night.

“I knew he played a great game. I didn’t know he was perfect. I didn’t know he was literally 18-for-18,” Campbell told reporters. “But I knew he was playing very well; you could feel it.

“He really found his rhythm early, and I thought he saw the field, played with rhythm, he had to move a little bit in the pocket. … Just some huge throws. Played with poise.”

The Lions needed a complete team effort to put aside a previously undefeated Seahawks team that arrived at Ford Field with a lot of confidence.

Seattle quarterback Geno Smith tried valiantly to keep pace with the home team, cutting the lead to seven with a touchdown on the first drive of the second half.

But as the teams traded scores, Detroit’s early advantage allowed it to hold on for the win and improve to 3-1, while the Seahawks fell to the same record.

Smith threw 38-for-56 for 395 yards, one touchdown and an interception, while Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III had three rushing TDs.

Aidan Hutchinson continued his stellar season on Detroit’s defense with a career-high 10 pressures, the most of any player in a game this season, according to the NFL.

After the loss, Seattle’s first-year head coach Mike Macdonald said his team had plenty of room to grow.

“I wouldn’t say (heading to Detroit) is a litmus test, it just shows us that we’re not the team we need to be right now,” Macdonald told reporters. “I mean, it is. Just wasn’t good enough.

“They did what they did to win the game. They did a great job, they had a great plan and we fell short. So how do we move forward as a football team and take the next step because we’ve got a short week ahead of us and there’s urgency – I mean, there’s always urgency, but we’ve got to get started here. in the coming days and make this right.”

It wasn’t a classic, but Tennessee finally got it right this season.

The Titans picked up their first win of the season thanks to a 31-12 victory over the Miami Dolphins, a game in which Tennessee lost starting quarterback Will Levis to an injury in the first quarter.

Levis suffered a shoulder injury after battling for a first down and was quickly ruled out of the remainder of Monday’s game. Head coach Bill Callahan said Levis will undergo an MRI for a suspected acromioclavicular (AC) joint problem.

Even during his brief stint on the field, the second-year passer threw an interception to continue his streak of turning the ball over in every game so far this season.

But despite backup QB Mason Rudolph leading the team to victory, Callahan said afterward that Levis is the team’s starting quarterback when healthy.

“It wasn’t a decision based on anything other than his health and keeping him safe, especially with the bye week,” Callahan said. “The shoulder didn’t feel great. I didn’t want to put him out there again, and I knew I was going to make a big run on the ball, so that was really what mattered. But he’s our starter when he’s healthy and we’re ready to get started with him. ”

Levis was replaced by Rudolph and although he only went 9-for-17 for 85 yards, the veteran backup was able to lead seven scoring drives during his time on the field.

Titans kicker Nick Folk was perfect on the night, hitting all five of his field goals and both of his extra points.

Tennessee’s two touchdowns came via running backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears as the duo racked up 127 yards on the ground.

It was another disappointing performance for the Dolphins, with starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa still absent with a concussion.

Miami started Tyler Huntley in place of Tagovailoa, but he struggled for consistency, going 14-for-22 for 96 yards. Midway through the fourth quarter, he ran for the team’s only score of the evening.

The Dolphins made history of their own on Monday, becoming the first team since the 2017 Cleveland Browns not to hold a lead through the first four games of the season. Miami’s only win – a 20-17 Week 1 victory against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars – came when Jason Sanders made the game-winning field goal as time expired.
