The hardware keeps coming for the Detroit Lions after their dominant performance over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. On the same day that Lions rookie kicker Riley Patterson was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week, quarterback Jared Goff was voted as the FedEx Air Player of the Week.
Goff beat out division rival Aaron Rodgers—who was voted NFC Offensive Player of the Week—and Patrick Mahomes in the vote, which really speaks to the power of the Lions community. This award is simply given to the player who receives the most fan votes, and somehow Goff got more votes than two of the most popular players in the entire NFL.
