You’d figure that Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff would have been a shoo-in for NFC Offensive Player of the Week after his performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars. As a quick reminder, he completed 24-of-29 passes for 412 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions, zero sacks, and a perfect 158.3 passer rating. It was only the seventh time in NFL history a quarterback has finished with over 400 yards passing and a perfect passer rating—and Goff became the first ever quarterback to accomplish that feat twice.
But that wasn’t good enough for the powers at be.
