The tenth week of the NFL is nearly in the books, with just one game left to play. Several players had incredible performances, along with surprising results from multiple teams.
Arguably the most surprising performance came from Jared Goff, who managed to get the win for the Lions despite throwing five interceptions against the Texans on Sunday night.
It was the first time in his career that he’s thrown five interceptions in a game, and just his second time throwing four. Still, he was able to get the win, which put him in some rare company. Since 1991, quarterbacks to throw five interceptions in a game were a dismal 2-44. The only two to record a win in that span were Matt Ryan in 2012 and Tony Romo in 2007. Goff is now the third.
He’s also just the 18th quarterback since at least 1948 to win a game despite throwing five interceptions, and just the ninth to do so since the 1970 merger. Quarterbacks that throw five picks in a game are 9-115 since the merger.
This was also the first time in the Dan Campbell era that the Lions were able to win a game after trailing by 10 or more points at half. Entering Sunday, they were 0-12 in such situations.
Goff’s unique win wasn’t the only spectacular thing to happen this weekend. FOX Sports Research broke down ten more eye-opening nuggets for you. Let’s take a look.

With his performance, Chase became the only player in NFL history to have multiple career games with 250+ receiving yards and multiple touchdown receptions.
That’s right, he’s done something that Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and every other receiver in the history of the league hasn’t.
It was also his second career game with 200+ receiving…
