NFL Stats and Records, Week 11: Bo Nix Continues His Ascent; Jared Goff is Perfect Again in Another Win
Week 11 of the NFL season provided plenty of excitement and drama, with several key players making headlines for their outstanding performances. Among the standout performers were Bo Nix and Jared Goff, who continued their impressive campaigns with exceptional showings in their respective games.
Bo Nix’s Meteoric Rise Continues
Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix has been on a tear in recent weeks, and his performance in Week 11 against the Arizona Wildcats was no exception. Nix completed 28 of 35 passes for 332 yards and three touchdowns, leading his team to a 49-22 victory. The sophomore quarterback also added 57 rushing yards on eight carries, showcasing his dual-threat abilities.
Nix’s performance against Arizona marked his fifth consecutive game with at least 300 passing yards and three touchdowns. Over that span, he has completed 68% of his passes for 1,764 yards, 15 touchdowns, and just one interception. His impressive play has propelled Oregon to a 9-1 record this season and has positioned him as a legitimate contender for the Heisman Trophy.
Jared Goff’s Perfect Performance Propels Lions to Victory
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff put together another flawless performance in Week 11, leading his team to a 31-18 victory over the New York Giants. Goff completed all 11 of his passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns, becoming the first Lions quarterback to complete 100% of his passes in a game since 1953.
Goff’s perfect performance was particularly impressive given the Giants’ strong defense, which had allowed only one touchdown in their previous two games. The Lions quarterback was able to find his receivers with pinpoint accuracy, and his efficient play kept the Giants’ offense off the field for much of the game.
