LA Rams QB Jared Goff Up For Week 12 Pepsi Rookie Of The Week

Los Angeles Rams rookie franchise QB Jared Goff is up for the Week 12 Pepsi Rookie of the Week for his performance in the Rams’ 21-49 drubbing at the hands of the New Orleans Saints.

Goff looked sharp beyond his inexperience in the first half finishing with a very impressive two-minute drive for his third passing touchdown of the day. The second half though saw the entire offense stall out similarly to Goff’s debut a week prior against the Miami Dolphins.

In the end, he finished 20/32 for 214 with that trio of touchdowns.

Also nominated this week:

• Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill: The speedster scored a receiving touchdown, a rushing touchdown and a return touchdown in the Chiefs’ drama-laden 30-27 overtime win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football.
• New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas: Across from Goff, the Saints stud rookie wideout caught nine passes for 108 yards and 2 TDs on the Rams’ vaunted defense.
• New England Patriots WR Malcolm Mitchell: Two of his five receptions went for touchdowns including the game-winner to help the Pats top the New York Jets.
• Tampa Bay Buccaneeers OLB Noah Spence: The one-time Ohio St. pass rusher was a terror for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday helping limit them to just five points to ensure a victory for the Bucs.
