**Twentyman:** There are only three quarterbacks in the league with at least 100 pass attempts on the season with zero interceptions thrown – Goff, Smith and Houston's C.J. Stroud. Of those three, Smith has four touchdown passes, Stroud has three and Goff has eight.

Goff joins Kirk Cousins (2021), Patrick Mahomes (2019), Drew Brees (2018), Tom Brady (2015) and Peyton Manning (2013) as the only quarterbacks in history to throw for 800 yards and eight touchdowns with no interceptions and a completion percentage of at least 70 through the first three games of a season.

**What it means:** Offensive points scored by Detroit through three games

**Twentyman:** Detroit's offense is stuck on the 31-point threshold, scoring exactly that amount in all three contests to start the year. The offense is this football team's strength and that's proven to be the case early on in 2026. Only Buffalo (101) and San Francisco (98) have scored more points on the season than Detroit.

The Lions play their next two games on the road in Carolina and Arizona. Carolina (1-2) ranks 27th allowing 27.7 points per game, while Arizona (1-2) is 24th allowing 27.0 points per game through their first three games.
