After one of their greatest seasons ever, the Detroit Lions lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the second half of the NFC Championship Game, preventing them from winning their first Super Bowl.
Many predicted going into the 2024 NFL season that the Lions would finish as the NFC’s top team, outperforming the 49ers and all other conference rivals.
Even though they suffered a Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Lions have been playing excellent football this year.
With a 3-1 record going into Week 5, Detroit was able to defeat the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4.
FOX Sports host Colin Cowherd argues that veteran quarterback Jared Goff isn’t receiving the credit he deserves, especially when the Lions are now playing well.
On “The Herd,” Cowherd declared, “He is the most underappreciated player in the league, and there’s nothing close.”
the Detroit Lions are coming off one of the best seasons in franchise history, as they were able to reach the NFC Championship Game, only to fall short of their first Super Bowl when the San Francisco 49ers pulled off a second-half comeback.
Heading into the 2024 NFL season, many believed the Lions could go the distance this time around as the best team in the NFC, surpassing the 49ers and any other contenders in the conference.
Although the Lions lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2, they have been playing some great football this season.
Detroit was able to get the best of the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4, giving the Lions a 3-1 record heading into Week 5.
With the Lions playing well right now, FOX Sports host Colin Cowherd is making the case that veteran quarterback Jared Goff is not getting the credit he deserves.
“He is the most underrated player in the league, and there’s nothing close,” Cowherd said on “The Herd.”
In four games this season, Goff has 1,015 passing yards, five touchdown passes and four interceptions. Against the Seahawks, he went 18-for-18 in the passing game.
Four interceptions in four games isn’t ideal, but Goff is doing enough to make the Lions a legitimate threat in the NFC on a weekly basis, which bodes well for them to be the last team standing in the conference this season.
