NFL Standouts: Patrick Mahomes, Jared Goff, and More

 

As the NFL season reaches its final stretch, fans and analysts alike are closely following the performances of some of the league's most exciting players. One of those players is Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has cemented his place as one of the NFL's premier players over the past few seasons.

Mahomes was drafted by the Chiefs in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, and it didn't take long for him to make an impact. In his first season as a starter in 2018, he led the Chiefs to the AFC Championship and was named the NFL MVP. The following year, he led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory and was named the Super Bowl MVP.

Mahomes' success on the field has continued into the 2020 season, as he has once again been a dominant force for the Chiefs. In week 18 of the season, he helped lead the team to a victory over the Los Angeles Rams, solidifying the Chiefs' position as one of the top teams in the league.

While Mahomes' performance has been a major talking point in the NFL, he is not the only player making headlines. Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has also garnered attention for his play this season. In week 18, he faced off against his former team, the Rams, as a member of the Detroit Lions. Despite falling to the Rams, Goff had a strong outing, throwing for over 300 yards and two touchdowns.

As the season comes to a close, many fans and analysts are speculating about which teams will make it to the playoffs and potentially contend for a Super Bowl. One team to keep an eye on is the Seattle Seahawks, who have had a strong season thanks in part to the play of quarterback Russell Wilson. However, they will need to continue their strong play in the final weeks of the season in order to secure a spot in the playoffs.

In addition to on-field performances, there have also been several coaching changes in the NFL this season. Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett was hired by the New York Giants, while former Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera was hired by the Washington Football Team. Both coaches will be looking to turn their respective teams around and make a push for the playoffs in the coming years.

Overall, the 2020 NFL season has been full of exciting moments and standout performances. As the playoffs approach, fans and analysts will be closely watching to see which teams and players rise to the occasion and make a run at the Super Bowl.
