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.

It’s well-founded hype for Goff, who has joined elite rare company by posting a QB Rating over 140.0 in three straight games. Yet, as you might expect from the low-key quarterback, Goff isn’t getting caught up in the MVP buzz.

The quarterback has been cool and resilient for the first-place Lions, all while putting up stats that should be getting attention.
