Jared Goff's MVP stock rises as Lions defeat Packers
The Lions are off to a hot start this season, and Goff is a big reason why.
The Detroit Lions secured a crucial divisional victory over their NFC North rival Green Bay Packers on Sunday, emerging victorious with a final score of 20-17. This win propelled the Lions to a 4-2 record. Quarterback Jared Goff was once again the star of the game, showcasing his exceptional skills as he completed 22 of 32 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns.
This performance marks the third time this season that Goff has thrown for over 300 yards, and the fifth time he has thrown for multiple touchdowns in a single game. The Lions' quarterback is currently being hailed as one of the league's best starting quarterbacks. With just six games left in the season, the question of whether Jared Goff deserves NFL MVP consideration is becoming increasingly difficult to dismiss.
Goff has already amassed an impressive season total of 1,788 passing yards and 14 touchdowns, while maintaining a perfect 14-0 interception record. Although there are still other outstanding quarterbacks like Brock Purdy, Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence, and Patrick Mahomes vying for the top award, if Goff can maintain his current level of play and the Lions continue their winning streak, it is highly likely that he will clinch the MVP title.
