Saquon Barkley made an impressive return against the New York Giants, while Trevor Lawrence led the Jacksonville Jaguars to victory in London. Neil Reynolds from Sky Sports NFL reflects on the events of Week Seven in the 2024 season as teams position themselves for Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
On the “Inside The Huddle” podcast, Neil Reynolds and Jeff Reinebold shared their admiration for the Detroit Lions this season. Highlighting Jared Goff’s remarkable resurgence as a quarterback, they also discussed the increasing pressure on Brock Purdy.
With Week Seven concluded, the NFL season is beginning to take clearer form, showcasing several teams that have established themselves as strong contenders for the Super Bowl.
Jared Goff is performing at an exceptionally high level for the Lions, contributing significantly to their narrow 31-29 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. He demonstrated near perfection, completing 22 of 25 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns without any interceptions.
Goff now possesses the confidence to challenge any defense, supported by a talented offensive coordinator in Ben Johnson. His performance was particularly noteworthy given his past struggles against Brian Flores, who previously dominated him as the Patriots’ defensive coordinator during Super Bowl 53.
Overall, Goff’s recent play indicates he has found the answers to the challenges he faces, making him a player to watch as the season progresses.
