For the second week in a row, the quarterback that torched the Bears won the NFC Offensive Player of the Week award.
Wednesday, it was Lions quarterback Jared Goff who took the honor. In Sunday’s 52-21 win at Ford Field, Goff threw for five touchdowns, 334 yards and a 156 passer rating.
A week earlier, Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy became the first quarterback since Steve Young to overcome a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter in his first career game. He won the award.
The 8.8 yards per play the Lions averaged against a weak Bears defense was a franchise record.
