Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been named one of the finalists for the prestigious NFL MVP Award following an exceptional 2024 season. This is a remarkable achievement for Goff, who played a pivotal role in helping lead the Lions to a dominant 15-2 regular-season record. Not only did the Lions win the NFC North for the second consecutive year, but they also earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC.
During the season, Goff was nothing short of brilliant, completing 72.4% of his passes for 4,629 yards, a career-high 37 touchdowns, and just 12 interceptions. It’s worth noting that nine of those interceptions came in just three games, showcasing how dominant he was throughout the remainder of the season.
While Goff’s MVP nomination is certainly a recognition of his impressive season, it’s important to note that he is up against stiff competition from other finalists, including Josh Allen, Saquon Barkley, Joe Burrow, and Lamar Jackson. However, being named as a finalist for the MVP Award solidifies Goff as one of the top quarterbacks in the league and marks an important milestone in his career.
Though Goff may not win the award this year, his nomination is a testament to the level of play he consistently brought to the field and further underscores his crucial role in the Lions’ success this season. Goff’s MVP nomination is an acknowledgment of his ability to elevate the team and lead them to new heights, making him one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks.
As the Lions look ahead to the offseason, Goff’s performance this year will undoubtedly be a key part of their future success, and his recognition as an MVP finalist only strengthens the case for him being the franchise quarterback moving forward.
