Jared Goff threw his first career touchdown pass on the first drive of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and it was a beauty.
Goff took a snap from the shotgun and tossed a perfect, 24-yard lob pass to under-used, 5-foot-8 receiver Tavon Austin, giving the Los Angeles Rams an early 7-0 lead in a game they basically need to win.
The throw completed a drive that saw Goff and the Rams gain 75 yards in less than three minutes. It began with a 31-yard catch-and-run to struggling running back Todd Gurley and also included a 17-yard back-shoulder throw to primary receiver Kenny Britt, who is having a career season.
