After 13 games played, the Detroit Lions are looking like one of the best teams in the NFL, as they have dominated the competition from week to week and seem to be well on their way to winning the NFC North division and clinching a high seed in the conference ahead of the NFL playoffs.
One of the primary reasons for the team’s sustained success this season has been the play of veteran quarterback Jared Goff, who has been able to play consistently well all season long, adding a formidable passing game to one of the elite rushing attacks in the game, with the two-headed monster of running backs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.
With only one loss on the season up to this point, the Lions could end up with the best record in the league when it is all said and done, especially if the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs start to struggle down the stretch.
If the Lions end up with the division title, the best record in the league and a high seed, Goff might have a legitimate case for NFL MVP, which is what Nick Wright of FOX Sports seems to think via First Things First.
“I think Jared Goff is going to win the MVP. I’m not being smart-***. I’m not being sarcastic,” Wright said.
.@getnickwright thinks Jared Goff will win MVP… and you’ll never guess what made an appearance during his explanation:

With four games left in the regular season, all against opponents that might give the Lions a run for their money (Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings), anything can happen from here on out that could change the outlook for the MVP race.
It’ll be interesting to see how things pan out for the Lions and whether Goff is a legitimate MVP candidate when the regular season ends.
