Jared Goff has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Month for October, recognizing his stellar performance that has propelled the Detroit Lions to a 6-1 record this season. This honor comes after he led the Lions to three victories during the month, contributing to their current five-game winning streak.

Goff’s achievement makes him the second Lions player to receive a monthly award this season, following his teammate Aidan.

In his recent four-game span, including a Monday Night Football win over the Seahawks, Goff completed 70 of 83 pass attempts, resulting in an impressive completion rate of 84.3%. He passed for 972 yards, recording 10 touchdowns without any interceptions. Remarkably, he also caught a touchdown pass during the Seahawks game, showcasing his versatility.

Goff’s recognition as Offensive Player of the Month places him among elite players in Lions history. He becomes just the third player in franchise history to earn this award, joining Hall of Famers Calvin Johnson and Barry Sanders, who have each received the accolade multiple times.

The quarterback, who recently signed a four-year, $212 million contract extension, is currently playing some of the best football of his career. Under his leadership, the Lions’ offense leads the league in scoring, averaging 33.4 points per game, and is efficient, converting touchdowns on 35% of their drives.

Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson praised Goff’s smart play, emphasizing his ability to manage the game effectively and connect with various playmakers. He noted that Goff’s success comes from minimizing turnovers and executing the game plan, leading to a series of high-scoring performances that meet the expectations set for the season.
