Highest-graded NFL players at every position ahead of Week 11 (QUARTERBACK - Jared Goff, Detroit Lions: 90.6.  The Lions offense is humming, and Goff's ball security is a huge reason for that. His 1.7% turnover-worthy play rate is the second-lowest in the league and the lowest rate of his career.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-highest-graded-nfl-players-at-every-position-ahead-of-week-11

Every NFL team's highest-graded wide receiver from Week 10 (DETROIT LIONS: AMON-RA ST. BROWN (91.4) - While Keenan Allen put on a show for the Chargers, St. Brown did the same for Detroit.

St. Brown took a screen play 20 yards for a touchdown and now has four touchdowns on the season. It was his fourth straight game with five or more first-down conversions. St. Brown finished the game averaging 5.03 yards per route run.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-every-nfl-team-highest-graded-wide-receiver-week-10-2023

Mike Tomlin heads top 5 candidates in Coach of the Year race; Sam Howell's viability as a franchise QB (3.  Dan Campbell:  If a team directly reflects its head coach, it is not surprising to see the Lions overwhelming opponents with their physicality, toughness and superior effort. Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes have constructed a roster of tough guys who embrace the "grind it out" approach of the coach himself and embody the spirit of Detroit.  The Lions (7-2) set the tone with a Kickoff Game road win over the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs, and they have largely continued to roll since that point, relying on an explosive offense and hard-hitting defense to blow past opponents at home and on the road.  The Jared Goff-led offense, in particular, looks like an unstoppable force between the lines. With rising whiz Ben Johnson calling the plays, Goff has flourished by targeting Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta and Kalif Raymond, among others, on catch-and-run concepts at short and intermediate distances. This efficient passing attack has been complemented by a rugged ground game, with David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs taking turns toting the rock. With the best offensive line in football consistently knocking defenders back at the point of attack in pass protection and on running plays, the Lions can rely on a blue-collar approach with explosive potential to overwhelm opponents in key moments. Campbell has frequently doubled down on his offense with fourth-down gambles that have put the onus on the unit's shoulders to close out games in the fourth quarter. With the long-suffering franchise's ascension to becoming a legit title contender that relies on its physicality, toughness and chameleon-like playing style, Campbell has put on a coaching clinic to guide a hungry group of underdogs.):   https://www.nfl.com/news/mike-tomlin-heads-top-5-candidates-in-coach-of-the-year-race-sam-howell-s-viabil
