The MVP conversation — in which Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff belongs firmly. It's only eight weeks into the season, so I'm not making declarations he will win it just yet — especially when Lamar Jackson is telling everyone else to hold his beer week-in and week-out.

As the story goes, Campbell was the New Orleans Saints’ tight ends coach and assistant head coach in 2018, when Goff was the Los Angeles Rams’ rising second-year quarterback.

Some 10 months after the city of Detroit rallied around Jared Goff, during a Lions’ playoff run for the ages, you can still hear the chants. At his place of work — Ford Field. At Red Wings, Pistons and Tigers games.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been a key factor in the team once again getting off to a 5-1 start. The offense has been on a tear of late, scoring at least 30 points in three straight games, twice reaching 40.

Jared Goff is putting up some incredible numbers in leading the Detroit Lions to a 5-1 start. His accuracy, performance under pressure and gaudy stats have made him one of the midseason favorites for the NFL Most Valuable Player honor.
