Jared Goff

Jared Goff ends the year as HeyTC’s #12-ranked quarterback, coming off a 9–8 Lions season that fell short of the playoffs after that brutal Christmas loss to the Vikings where he committed five turnovers in a must-win spot. Detroit’s year technically ended on a high note with a gritty Week 18 win in Chicago, where Goff threw for 331 yards and led a late game-winning drive, but it was a consolation prize after being eliminated the week before. Big picture, he still finished near the top of the league in passing yards and kept Detroit’s run of winning seasons alive, yet inconsistency in key games has renewed questions about his ceiling. Next up: a pivotal offseason where Goff’s contract, the Lions’ offensive identity without Ben Johnson, and how they insulate him from those meltdown performances will dominate the conversation.
