Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown Shine as One of NFL’s Top QB-WR Duos in 2024!
Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown have emerged as one of the most dynamic quarterback-wide receiver duos in the NFL, with their on-field chemistry ranking them among the best this season. At one point during the year, Goff completed 30 consecutive passes to St. Brown, an extraordinary streak that defied statistical odds. According to Next Gen Stats, the chances of such a streak happening—given the difficulty of each throw—were a staggering 1 in 780,000, or 0.0001%.
Their exceptional partnership began in late 2021, when St. Brown started to shine as a rookie and Goff elevated his game after a challenging start with the Detroit Lions. Since then, they’ve become one of the league’s most productive tandems, delivering consistent performances year after year.
After a Week 9 game against the Green Bay Packers, Lions head coach Dan Campbell praised their unique connection, noting that their rapport has only strengthened over the years. “The connection between those two? It’s special,” Campbell said. “They’ve been clicking now for four years—really three and a half. It started about halfway through that ’21 season and has just built from there. They make each other better.”
Campbell also highlighted St. Brown’s impressive skill set, which makes him an ideal target for Goff. “St. Brown gets open, has body control, balance, separation ability, quickness, and play speed. He’s got strong hands. They’ve done it well enough that they can think without speaking. They know what each other is about to do.”
“Top-Tier Duo: Goff and St. Brown Land High in ESPN’s QB-WR Rankings!”
This season, Goff and St. Brown earned high praise from former Lions quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky, who ranked them fourth in his top-20 list of quarterback-wide receiver duos for 2024. They placed behind Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown, and Sam Darnold and Justin Jefferson. Orlovsky’s rankings focused solely on this season’s performance, making Goff and St. Brown’s placement a testament to their impact.
Orlovsky offered specific accolades for their contribution to the Lions’ success: “2024 stats: 81 completions, 892 yards, 10 touchdowns. This is the best chain-moving crew in the NFL, having accumulated 53 first downs (No. 1 overall) and zero drops. Goff has an 81.8% completion rate when targeting St. Brown, which is 13.2% above expectation, per Next Gen Stats. When Detroit needs to make a play, these two deliver.”
That reliability in critical situations has become a defining feature of their partnership. Goff instinctively looks for St. Brown in key moments, and opposing defenses—despite knowing what’s coming—often fail to stop them. The duo’s ability to consistently deliver under pressure has propelled the Lions’ offense and solidified their status as one of the league’s elite QB-WR combinations.
As the 2024 season progresses, Goff and St. Brown continue to prove why they are among the NFL’s most effective offensive tandems, blending skill, trust, and an undeniable connection that has defenses scrambling and fans in awe.
