Lions 2017 awards: Matthew Stafford survives the hits to earn Offensive MVP

The Detroit Lions have wrapped up the 2017 season, and it's time for MLive's annual awards. Over the next six days, we'll be handing these honors out, starting today with Offensive MVP.

Offensive MVP: QB Matthew Stafford
Key stats: Finished third in the NFL in passing yards (4,446), fourth in passing touchdowns (29) and sixth in QB rating (99.3)
Honorable Mention: WR Marvin Jones

Matthew Stafford's ninth season with the Lions and third with Jim Bob Cooter as his offensive coordinator was statistically his best ever, even if it felt more like a rollercoaster of ups and downs.
