Jared Goff has historic night

A pair of NFC championship game hopefuls met on “Monday Night Football” in Week 4, and it was a fitting preview for a potential January showdown.

The undefeated Seattle Seahawks and the 2-1 Detroit Lions locked up underneath the Ford Field dome on Monday night, making for the fourth meeting in three years between the two squads. The Lions emerged victorious with a 42-29 victory in a quarterback duel between Jared Goff and Geno Smith.

Smith put in a heck of a performance in a game that looked like it was heading towards laugher territory at halftime: Smith finished 38-of-56 passing for 395 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
