Lions set a new team record for most TDs in a season

For the second year in a row, the Detroit Lions have established a new team record for touchdowns scored in a season.

When Jared Goff hit Jameson Williams for a second-quarter touchdown in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears, it was Detroit’s 59th touchdown in the 2024 regular season. That eclipses the previous record, set one year ago when Ben Johnson’s “Goff-ense” established the mark at 58.

The score was also the longest completion of Goff’s career, and the third touchdown reception of 60-plus yards for Williams this season. That ties a Lions team record set by Cloyce Box in 1952.

The Lions still have 10 more quarters of football to extend the team record for TDs in a season, too.
