Both Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff and running back David Montgomery are up for FedEx’s weekly awards after their dynamic performances against the Los Angeles Chargers. Goff is up for Air Player of the Week, while Montgomery is one of three nominees for the Ground Player of the Week.
Of the two, Goff likely has the tougher road to winning the weekly honors. The Lions quarterback had a fantastic day, totalling 333 yards and two touchdowns while completing 69.7% of his passes for a 122.4 passer rating. However, he’s up against Cowboys QB Dak Prescott and Seahawks QB Geno Smith.
