Detroit Lions Jared Goff scrutiny recent struggles NFL News

Lions' quarterback Jared Goff faces scrutiny after subpar performances, raising questions about his ability to lead the team to the playoffs.

Jared Goff, the quarterback for the Detroit Lions, has been under intense scrutiny after two disappointing performances. The Lions, aiming to maintain their position in the NFC, are starting to question Goff's ability to lead the team to a successful postseason.

Goff, who came to the Lions as part of a trade with the Los Angeles Rams, had been showing improvement in recent seasons. The Lions were even looking like contenders for a top seed in the NFC. However, his recent performances have raised doubts about his capabilities and the team's chances in the postseason.

In a game against the Chicago Bears, Goff threw three interceptions and almost had a fourth. Despite this, the Lions managed to come back from a 26-14 deficit and secure a win. In the following game against the Green Bay Packers, Goff struggled even more, losing three fumbles in a surprising loss at home. The Lions, who were initially thought to have an easy late-season schedule, are now facing uncertainties in the NFC North.

With an 8-3 record, the Lions are currently in the running for the No. 3 seed in the NFC. However, questions have arisen about Goff's ability to lead the team beyond the wild-card round in the postseason.

People are starting to compare Goff's time with the Rams, where he was eventually replaced by Matthew Stafford. The Rams even included an extra first-round pick in the trade to get rid of Goff's contract. If Goff's struggles continue, the Lions may have to consider a similar decision.

The Lions are now focused on a crucial game against the New Orleans Saints and are aware of the need for a turnaround. The Saints, also fighting to stay in contention for the NFC South title, will be a tough challenge for Goff and the Lions.
