Lions notes: Goff's stellar December, Melifonwu's role and Bears' turnover chase

Allen Park — In the month of December, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been one of the NFL's best players. And while he might lose the player of the month award to division counterpart Kirk Cousins, who helped lead the biggest regular-season comeback in league history, Goff's production has been nothing short of impressive.

With three 300-yard games, nine touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 109.3 passer rating in four December contests, Goff is truly playing some of the best football of his career. Even more notably, he's overcoming the negatives that have held him back throughout his career, including the turnovers and finding a successful deep-passing game.
