Jared Goff and Sean McVay shook hands and hugged after the Detroit Lions lost to the os Angeles Rams inside SoFi Stadium.

The circumstances keep changing. But Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has remained one of the NFL's top-performing passers this season.

Former Detroit Lions edge rusher James Houston was fined for his hit on Jared Goff in last week's win over the Dallas Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys suffered a serious blow to their playoff hopes in a Week 14 loss to the Detroit Lions. Dallas entered the game with a three game winning streak after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving and looked to be trending in the right direction.

Jared Goff grew frustrated with reporters' repeated questions about facing his former team, the Rams, saying the trade feels like "a long time ago."

Lions QB Jared Goff remains confident about Detroit's playoff chances despite their crushing loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Goff is not the only NFL wife represented on the Brilora board. Kelly Stafford, wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, is the board chair. Stafford has publicly discussed her struggles with infertility on her podcast “The Morning After,” which she stepped away from this season.

At this point in his NFL career, quarterback Jared Goff has played longer for the Detroit Lions than he did for the Los Angeles Rams. After facing his former team in the playoffs during the 2023 season and then again to kick off the 2024 season, the emotional charge of facing the team that traded him has clearly subsided.

MVP isn't a narrative award. But Goff is having his most efficient season and has the Lions back atop the NFC North. Could a top honor await?
