It was the worst loss in Jaguars history, and perhaps of the millennium.
The Jacksonville Jaguars experienced its worst loss ever against the Detroit Lions.
As Jags fans eagerly await news from Shad Khan’s camp about the future of Jacksonville’s coaching staff and front office, here’s a look at just how historically bad Sunday’s game went.
Jacksonville set single-game franchise records in margin of defeat (-46) and points allowed (52). It was their most total net yards allowed (644) and total first downs allowed (38) for a non-overtime game.
Detroit set single-game franchise records in margin of victory (+46), total net yards (644) and total first downs (38).
Detroit’s yardage difference (+475) was the third-largest in NFL history and the largest since 1979 (h/t Hayden Winks).
Detroit became the first team since the 2007 Patriots to score a touchdown on each of its first seven possessions in a game (h/t Bill Barnwell).
Jared Goff recorded a perfect passer rating (158.3) for the second time in his nine-year career. He set career-highs in total Expected Points Added (37.8) and EPA per play (1.11).
Detroit and Goff each had a 100th percentile EPA per play and success rate (h/t Sumer Sports).
Amon-Ra St. Brown (161) and Jameson Williams (124) set career highs in receiving yards.
St. Brown became the third Lion to record at least 10 receptions, 150 receiving yards and 2 receiving touchdowns in a game (joining Brett Perriman and Cloyce Box).
The Lions tied an NFL record by having 4 different players produce 95-plus yards from scrimmage and a touchdown (St. Brown, Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery).
Let’s end on a positive note!
Cam Little tied a franchise record with a 59-yard field goal (Josh Scobee, Josh Lambo).
