After a historic performance in Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. This marks Goff’s fourth time winning this award since joining the Lions in 2021, tying him with Calvin Johnson for the second-most times a Lions player has won this award in team history (Barry Sanders leads the way with 11 NFC POTW awards).
Against the Bears, Goff completed 23 of 28 passes for 334 yards, five touchdowns, and a 156.0 passer rating. Goff is currently near the top of the NFL leader board in several statistics, including producing:
- Six passing touchdowns on the season (T-1st)
- an 80.6% completion percentage (1st)
- +11.9% Completion percentage above expectation (2nd)
- 125.1 passer rating (3rd)
- EPA: +22.4 (4th)
- EPA per drop back +0.31 (4th)
- DYAR: Best performance by a Lions QB since 1978
“I thought Goff played out of his mind, it was awesome,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said on Monday following the win over the Bears. “He was composed, he was on point, and I just thought he commanded the offense to precision, and it was great to see.“
In 2024, Goff won this award in Week 4, following a “perfect game” against the Seahawks, and also took home the NFC Player of the Month award for October.
