Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff, WR Robert Woods up for NFL weekly awards

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

If an NFL football player has a good performance and doesn’t win a corporate-sponsored award that nobody really cares about, did he actually play well?

There are the essential questions in life. Shout out to qualia.

For their performances in Week 10, Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff and WR Robert Woods are up for the NFL’s FedEx Air Player of the Week and Castrol EDGE Clutch Performer of the Week awards.

Goff was 25/37 for 355 yards, a career high, with three touchdowns in the Rams’ 33-7 win over the Houston Texans. Goff’s going up against:

• Minnesota Vikings QB Case Keenum: 21/29 for 304 yards and four touchdowns in Minnesota’s 38-30 shootout win over the Washington Opponents
• San Francisco 49ers QB C.J. Beathard: 19/25 for 288 yards and two touchdowns in the 49ers first win of the season, a 31-21 victory over the New York Giants

Ramily, we can’t let a former Ram or a 49er top Goff in this vote, not when the award is being sponsored by FedEx when they’re offering sentences like the following on their official corporate blog:

Lina Khalifeh discovered her passion for martial arts when she was only five years old. This passion evolved into SheFighter, the first self-defense studio for women in Jordan.

A vote for anyone but Goff is a vote against Lina Khalifeh and a vote against Jordan and a vote against women.

Don’t be sexist, Rams fans. Go vote for Jared.

As for Woods, his eight-reception, 171-yard, two-touchdown performance has him up for the Castrol EDGE Clutch Performer of the Week against:

• Atlanta Falcons DE Adrian Clayborn: Six sacks and two forced fumbles to help propel the Atlanta Falcons over the Dallas Cowboys, 27-7
• Jacksonville Jaguars CB A.J. Bouye: Intercepted a pass in overtime to help set up the winning kick in Jacksonville’s 20-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers
• Seattle Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham: Logged two touchdowns in the Seahawks’ 22-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals
• New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram: Scored three touchdowns to cap off his 131 rushing yards as Nola trounced the Buffalo Bills 47-10

Folks, I’m sure you know this, but Castrol’s brand is about passion, excitement and performance. Is there any brand that aligns more with Rams’ fans? Passion, excitement and performance? Sounds alot like us!

So go vote for Goff and vote for Woods and thanks to FedEx and Castrol!
