Has Lions’ Jared Goff Been Playing ‘Perfect’ Ball? Pros Weigh In
Detroit has the worst defense in the NFL, so what kind of magic is their quarterback pulling here?
The Detroit Lions' quarterback, Jared Goff, has been generating significant buzz within the MVP conversation. Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings has thrown his support behind Goff, comparing him to Russell Wilson. Jennings believes Goff should be atop the mountain, citing his historic performance through the first five games of the season.
Both Goff and Wilson have achieved 12 touchdown passes and zero interceptions during that time. Jennings cites Goff's consistency as his greatest strength, noting that his completion rate remains high and he continually delivers touchdowns and yards. On the other hand, host Kay Adams of "Up & Adams" praised Goff's MVP-level performance, emphasizing the Lions' impressive offense despite the team's weak defense.
She highlighted Goff's 297.0 passer rating and the team's highest scoring offense in the NFL, attributing their success to Goff's flawless play. Adams questioned why people might not support Goff, asking, "What does it even mean to not be a Jared Goff guy?" Notably, only Patrick Mahomes has achieved similar performance metrics in the 2019 season.
