Jared Goff wins NFC Offensive Player of the Week

The Detroit Lions notched their first win of the 2021 season in Week 13, and the man who led them to the thrilling victory won something for his strong effort, too.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff earned the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his impressive performance. Goff completed 25 of his 41 passes for 296 yards and three touchdowns. The final touchdown came on the last play of the game, an 11-yard strike to rookie WR Amon-Ra St. Brown that propelled the Lions to the win over the visiting Minnesota Vikings. Goff was razor-sharp in leading the game-winning drive in the final two minutes.

Goff is the first Lions player to win the honor since Calvin Johnson in Week 5 of the 2015 season.
