Jared Goff, quarterback for the Detroit Lions, is on pace to set an NFL record for completion percentage in a season, currently at 74.9%. If he completes his first pass in the upcoming game, his rate will reach 75.0%, surpassing the current record held by Drew Brees at 74.44%. Goff's recent performance, completing 82.8% of his passes over six games, has been unprecedented in NFL history, contributing to the Lions' success this season.
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur acknowledges Jordan Love's low completion percentage but believes he has made progress in all aspects of playing the quarterback position. LaFleur attributes Love's completion percentage to throwing the ball further downfield and fewer quick run alerts, as well as dropped catches. While there is room for improvement, LaFleur remains optimistic about Love's performance. The Packers will face the Raiders, who have allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete over 70% of their passes this season.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's near-perfect performance against the Arizona Cardinals, completing 95.2 percent of his passes, ranks as the fourth-highest single-game completion percentage in NFL history. Purdy's completion percentage also set a new franchise record for the 49ers. His deep shots downfield added an additional layer of difficulty to his highly efficient performance, averaging 8.6 air yards per attempt, the highest mark in NFL history among quarterbacks with a minimum of 20 passing attempts and a 90 percent completion percentage.
After three months since its release, players of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are realizing that completing the main story is just the tip of the iceberg. The game's completion percentage, which can only be seen after defeating the final boss, overlooks certain elements such as side quests. To achieve 100% completion, players must discover all shrines and lightroots, visit every named location, find all dragon tears, and collect all 1,000 Korok seeds. Many players are far from reaching this goal, with some still sitting at less than 50% completion.
Longtime NFL insider Peter King reveals that one of the key stats Justin Fields needs to reach franchise quarterback status is his completion percentage. The best quarterbacks tend to land in the 65-70% range, with all five of the last Super Bowl winners finishing at 65% or higher. Fields' completion percentage in his first two years has been below this range, with 58.9% in his rookie season and 60.4% last year. While 67% should be the goal, a reasonable floor for Fields is 65%. The challenge for Fields is evident, as only two quarterbacks in Bears history have achieved a completion percentage of 65% or better in a season.
