NFL 2023 Midseason Awards: Lamar Jackson wins MVP, Myles Garrett claims DPOY (COACH OF THE YEAR: DAN CAMPBELL, DETROIT LIONS - Coming off a bye this week, Dan Campbell has the Detroit Lions at 6-2 after eight games. Jared Goff has the fourth-highest PFF passing grade in the NFL, Aidan Hutchinson is threatening to break into the elite tier of edge rushers in the NFL and the team continues to roll. The Lions bounced back from their worst loss of the season to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7 with a comfortable win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8. All eight remaining games of their schedule are winnable, giving them a shot at being the top seed in the conference, which would almost certainly lock up this award for Campbell.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2023-midseason-awards-lamar-jackson-mvp-myles-garrett-dpoy

2023 NFL Midseason All-Pro Team: Lamar Jackson, Tyreek Hill, Dexter Lawrence and more (RT: PENEI SEWELL, DETROIT LIONS:  Sewell, the only right tackle in the NFL to earn PFF grades of 80.0 or better in both pass protection and as a run blocker through the first half of the season, has allowed just five pressures from 323 pass-blocking snaps in 2023.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2023-nfl-midseason-all-pro-team-lamar-jackson-tyreek-hill-dexter-lawrence

Grading every NFL Round 1 rookie halfway through season (12. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Lions: A.  Unlike Bijan Robinson in Atlanta, the Lions brought Gibbs along slowly. But when he had to step in for an injured David Montgomery, he looked every bit the playmaker who exploded onto the scene for the Crimson Tide a year ago. He's not built like Robinson, but he's an explosive runner who can take it between the tackles if needed. He's a Christian McCaffrey-level threat in the pass game, too.  18. Jack Campbell, LB, Lions: A.  The Lions targeted two surprising positions in the first round – running back and linebacker – and both picks were home runs. I talked about Jahmyr Gibbs above, and Jack Campbell has been as impactful on the other side of the ball for a resurgent Detroit defense.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/grading-first-round-rookies-at-midway-point-of-nfl-season-c-j-stroud-jalen-carter-headline-impressive-class/

Dan Campbell thinks his 6-2 Detroit Lions still have another gear:  https://apnews.com/article/detroit-lions-campbell-goff-analysis-59137d39917d197e94b0e2b1db5ec0a1

Grades:

SI (Detroit Lions - Grade: B+.  The Lions are well on their way to winning their first division title since 1993. They’re also a borderline Super Bowl contender. They defeated the Chiefs in Week 1, but fell to the Seahawks and Ravens. The Lions are stout in the trenches and have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball to make noise in the postseason. It’s a new era in Detroit, and coach Dan Campbell and GM Brad Holmes deserve a ton of credit.):  https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/11/07/2023-nfc-midseason-grades-eagles-clearly-best-team
