Jared Goff has completed 30 consecutive passes to Amon-Ra St. Brown

In the Lions’ Week Three game against the Cardinals, Amon-Ra St. Brown caught seven of the eight passes thrown to him by Jared Goff. That’s good, but what has happened since then is extraordinary.

The only incompletion in that Week Three game was the last time St. Brown didn’t catch a pass thrown to him. From the end of that Week Three game against the Cardinals until Sunday’s game against the Packers, Goff threw 30 passes to St. Brown, and St. Brown caught all 30 of them.

That’s an extraordinary accomplishment for a quarterback and wide receiver. Goff leads the NFL in completion percentage at 74.9 percent, and St. Brown leads the NFL in sack percentage, having caught 81.4 percent of his targets. They’re playing throw and catch like no other pair in the NFL, and Lions coach Dan Campbell said after the win at Green Bay that the two have a unique relationship.

“The connection between those two? It’s special. Those two have been clicking for four years; actually three and a half, it started about halfway through season 21 and built from there. “If you’re a quarterback, we have a very good quarterback, but it’s easy to throw to a guy like St. Brown because he gets open, he has body control, balance, he can separate, he has quickness, he has play speed, strong hands,” Campbell said. . “They have done so well that they can think without speaking. They know each other, they know what they’re getting ready to do and all that. “So it’s special and they make each other better.”

When a reporter asked Campbell about the streak of 30 consecutive completions, Campbell said don’t curse it.

“I hate it when you guys do that,” Campbell said. “Someone finds something and what happens when it’s incomplete? Could you keep it to yourself?

The Goff-St. The brown combination is too good for anyone to keep silent about.
