NFL QB Index, Week 4: Tua Tagovailoa vaults Patrick Mahomes to take No. 1 spot (10.  Jared Goff
Detroit Lions - 2023 stats: 3 games | 69.9 pct | 819 pass yds | 8.0 ypa | 5 pass TD | 2 INT | 2 rush yds | 1 rush TD | 0 fumbles.  Goff is entering his golden era with the Lions, naysayers be damned. The offense sure is fun to watch when it's humming, and for much of a Week 3 win over Atlanta, it was a well-oiled machine. Goff completed two thirds of his passes for 243 yards and a touchdown while surprisingly only targeting four pass-catchers all afternoon. Amon-Ra St. Brown had a typically productive outing, but the real star of the show was rookie tight end Sam LaPorta, whom Goff found over the top for a 45-yard score in which LaPorta had 12 -- yes, TWELVE -- yards of separation at the moment the ball arrived. It wasn't a perfect day for Goff, who ran into a few brief ruts and put too much mustard on a pass over the middle intended for St. Brown, ending in Jessie Bates' third interception of the young season. But Goff was largely good. He even iced the game by running for a touchdown on a read option, fooling the seasoned Calais Campbell in the process. Keep rolling, Jared, and keep those shades handy for when you need to block out the haters.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-qb-index-week-4-tua-tagovailoa-vaults-patrick-mahomes-to-take-no-1-spot

3 Teams That Should Trade For Davante Adams (DETROIT LIONS - The 2-1 Lions are currently tied for first place in the NFC North alongside their arch nemesis Green Bay Packers. The Lions have thus far met the lofty expectations they had heading into the 2023 campaign. Acquiring a talent like Adams could help push a talented roster across the finish line.  The Lions are scheduled to possess approximately $63 million in cap space next offseason, per Spotrac. General manager Brad Holmes could be aggressive while taking on some long-term money. Amon-Ra St. Brown is a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver, but imagine how thin opposing defenses would be stretched if forced to account for Adams and St. Brown. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson would thrive while game-planning in such a scenario.):  https://thedraftnetwork.com/davante-adams-trade-raiders-49ers-browns-lions/
