Statistical efficiency backed by coach praise alongside advanced metrics raises his MVP profile with divisional games set to determine its durability.

Overview

  • Through six games Goff has 1,788 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and zero interceptions while leading the league in passer rating and yards per game.
  • Coach Dan Campbell publicly praised Goff’s play and urged the team to put the ball in his hands more, signaling strong internal confidence in his performance.
  • ESPN analyst Ben Solak highlighted Goff’s advanced numbers, noting a total dropback EPA that ranks with the league leaders and a passer rating behind only Lamar Jackson.
  • Goff’s six‑game, 14 TD/0 INT start matches a mark set by Russell Wilson in 2019, a comparison that has helped shift national MVP conversations about him.
  • Reporting credits Detroit’s supporting cast and an improving offensive line for Goff’s surge and notes that upcoming NFC North matchups will be the key test of whether the run is sustainable.
