Jared Goff Catches a Lot of Heat for the Lions Playoff Loss
1 month ago

With Super Bowl expectations through the roof, Lions quarterback Jared Goff comes up short in a playoff letdown.

The Detroit Lions leave the playoffs disappointed and heartbroken. The upstart Washington Commanders blew through the Lions for a 45-31 upset led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. 

 

Jared Goff was 23/40 for 313 passing yards. That is good to see in the stat sheet except for the fact that Goff had a 1:3 touchdown to interception ratio as well as losing a fumble. With 4 turnovers and the Commanders converting 4th downs and turning field goal drives into touchdowns, it became difficult for the Lions to keep up. 

 

In 2024, the Lions made it a habit of pushing other teams into shootouts. The Commanders not only matched the Lions energy, but they also were able to bring the defensive energy winning the turnover battle. The Lions were 9.5 point favorites and end their season with a 14 point loss.

 

Jared Goff finished 2024 as the QB-8 and is ranked 20th in our dynasty quarterback rankings just behind Baker Mayfield. Goff will continue to be a safe QB-2 in superflex formats as he is buoyed by formidable talent in Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, David Montgomery, and the uber-talented Jahmyr Gibbs.
