Lions' Jared Goff could be the NFL's biggest MVP surprise

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is making some serious impressions.

Lions' Jared Goff could be the NFL's biggest MVP surprise

The Detroit Lions have recently secured a victory, propelling their season record to an impressive 4-2. While most attention is given to high-profile quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Brock Purdy, Lions' quarterback Jared Goff is also garnering considerable respect. His standout performance in six games has resulted in 150 completions on 223 attempts, with a passer rating of 112.5, placing him second in the NFL behind Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

ESPN's Ben Solak argues that Goff is a sleeper candidate for the MVP award, acknowledging that he is not a frontrunner at the moment. However, if the Lions continue their winning streak, Goff could emerge as a surprise favorite by the end of the year.
