Rams QB Jared Goff tosses first career NFL touchdown pass
— -- NEW ORLEANS -- Jared Goff threw his first career touchdown pass on the first drive of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints at 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.
In his debut last week, a 14-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins, Goff attempted only five passes that traveled more than 10 yards, all of which fell incomplete.
