    Lions quarterback Jared Goff will face his former team in a Wild Card clash Sunday night. What does Goff's history in the playoffs look like?

    Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is preparing to face his former team in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs Sunday Night as he takes on the Los Angeles Rams.

    This will be his first time in the postseason with the Lions, but what does his all-time playoff record look like?

    Jared Goff’s Playoff Record

    Goff currently carries a 3-3 postseason record from his time in Los Angeles. In those six playoff games, Goff completed 113 of 197 passes (57.4% completion rate) for 1,300 yards (an average of 216.7 yards per game) with four touchdowns and two interceptions.

    He made his playoff debut in 2017 after leading the Rams to the NFC West title in his second season. His first postseason game was a 26-13 loss to the Falcons in the Wild Card Round as the No. 3 seed. Goff completed 24 of 45 passes for 259 yards and one touchdown with no turnovers and was sacked three times.

    The Rams then finished the 2018 season with a 13-3 record, earning them the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye. Goff led the team to wins in the Divisional Round and Conference Championship, sending the Rams to the Super Bowl, where they lost to the Patriots and Tom Brady.

    The 2018 playoff run for the Rams began with a 30-22 win over the Dallas Cowboys, where Goff completed 15 of 28 passes for 186 yards and zero touchdowns.

    He had a stronger performance in the following game against the Saints in a 26-23 overtime victory. He completed 25 of 40 passes for 297 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

    In the Super Bowl, Goff struggled against the Patriots defense and only completed 50% of his passes (19 of 38) for 229 yards with one interception, as the Rams failed to score a touchdown in the 13-3 loss.

    In 2020, The No. 6 seed Rams took down the Seahawks, 30-20, despite a shaky performance from Goff, who was playing through an injury. He went 9 of 19 passes for 155 yards and one touchdown.

    In the Divisional Round against the Packers, the Rams lost 32-18, where Goff completed 21 of 27 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown in his final game with LA.

    Goff has led the Lions to a successful season this year with a 12-5 record and their first home playoff game in three decades.

    So far this season, Goff has completed 67.3% of his pass attempts for 4,575 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.

    Both Goff and Matthew Stafford have considerable playoff experience under their belts as they face off Sunday night. Stafford is 4-3 all-time in the postseason, with all three losses coming as a Lion and all four wins with the Rams.

    Both quarterbacks will be facing their former teams in what should make for an exciting Wild Card matchup.
