After winning four games last season, it’s easy to be uncontrollably excited about what the Los Angeles Rams have done through the first eight games of 2017. They’re 6-2, lead the league in scoring and have the best point differential of any team in the NFL.

Yet, Jared Goff isn’t buying the hype. Despite being one of the best teams in the league, Goff isn’t ready to settle just yet. He isn’t satisfied with where the Rams are at right now, considering there are still eight games to go.

“In this league, it’s so week to week,” Goff said. “You’re good one week and you’re bad the next week. We were the worst team ever last year, and now everyone loves us. So no, it doesn’t make any difference to us. We’re 6-2 at the halfway point, and we’re happy about the things we’ve done so far, but we have a lot of work to do, and eight teams ahead of us.”

Goff was just named NFC Offensive Player of the Week, making him the first Rams quarterback to win the award since Marc Bulger in 2007. That just goes to show how long it’s been since the Rams have had a quarterback capable of filling a box score.

While the award was a testament to his individual play, Goff did get a lot of help from his friends. The offensive line didn’t allow a single sack, and two screen passes to Robert Woods and Todd Gurley went for 52 and 44 yards, respectively.

“Obviously extremely honored,” he said. “We talk about it all the time though, anytime these individual awards most of the time has to do with your team and this one for sure does. I didn’t get hit all day and that’s a testament to the O-line. We threw a bunch of screens for a bunch of yards. It’s not me doing the work – it’s those guys, but it’s a big honor and I’m very honored to be named that for sure.”

One of the biggest plays of the game came on a deep pass to Sammy Watkins, connecting on a 67-yard touchdown. The ball traveled 61.8 yards in the air, which is the longest in the NFL this season.

It was a personal best for Goff, too.

“I think it was the longest I’ve thrown in a game in my life, in the air,” he said.

That’s one of the biggest differences from last year’s team to this year’s. Not the fact that Goff suddenly has the arm strength to unleash a 60-yard throw, but the fact that the offense allows for him to do so.

Last season, the scheme was very vanilla and bland. There wasn’t much creativity and it didn’t lead to many big plays. Now, with Sean McVay at the helm, it’s a completely different story, and it’s a big reason everyone is jumping on the Rams’ bandwagon.
