Jared Goff Leads Detroit Lions to NFC Championship Amid Contract Renewal Talks

Goff's impressive performance this season, marked by humor and resilience, has the Lions on the brink of their first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history.

Jared Goff, the Detroit Lions' quarterback, humorously responded to a reporter's comment about the team's lack of 'superstars' compared to the San Francisco 49ers, ahead of the NFC Championship game.
The Lions are returning to the NFC Championship for the first time since the 1991 season and are aiming for their first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history.
The Lions' historic run this season was highlighted by five Pro Bowl nods and five players receiving All-Pro honors, including offensive tackle Penei Sewell and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Despite a slow start to the season, Goff has led the Lions to the playoffs with impressive regular season numbers, including the NFL’s second-most passing yards (4,575), fourth-most TD passes (30), most passing first downs (227) and second-most explosive plays over 20 yards (69).
Goff's contract is up for renewal, with a current salary cap hit of $30.9 million and one year left on his deal at $31.65 million. It is expected that the Lions will extend his contract, which could cost upwards of $50 million.
