What happened: Jared Goff has opened his five-game stretch in the 2026 regular season with at least 12 passing touchdowns and not a single turnover. Per NFL Research, that zero-giveaway mark makes him the only player in league history to reach 12 passing scores without a lost fumble or interception over a team's opening five contests.

Why it matters: The milestone coincides with Goff's 32nd birthday and extends a career pace that ranked him first in NFL history in completions (3,568) and second in quarterback starts (156) through age 31. His efficiency in 2026 has held up against pressure, producing 590 passing yards and six touchdowns against the blitz.

By the numbers: 2026 through 5 games: 12+ passing TDs, 0 INTs, 0 giveaways; 590 passing yards and 6 TDs vs. the blitz. Career through age 31: 3,568 completions (1st in NFL history), 156 QB starts (2nd in NFL history).

What to watch: Goff enters Week 6 aiming to extend his turnover-free streak as the 2026 regular season continues.
