He set personal highs in passer rating (111.8), yards per attempt (8.6), success rate (54.7%), and passing touchdowns (37). He helped lead the No. 1 offense in the league to 15 wins, and the Detroit Lions\u2019 first-ever one-seed in the Super Bowl era.<\/p>\n<p id=\"TKwbLZ\">Yet he enters 2025 with just as many questions as ever. For one, his playoff game was a major letdown. Goff turned the ball over four times against the Commander (three interceptions and a fumble lost) and completed just 57.5 percent of his passes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5073,h_2853,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_1200,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/all_lions\/01jygse0chj959eqb12p.jpg\" alt=\"Detroit Lions 2025 Roster Bubble: Offensive Linemen\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"5LDQUV\">More importantly, Goff must now prove he\u2019s capable of yet another shift in his supporting cast. He\u2019s, once again, facing doubters who claim Detroit\u2019s offensive success should largely be credited to former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and Ben Johnson only. And with significant shakeups on the offensive line, some have expressed legitimate concern that lapses in protection could force some serious regression in Goff\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/xhGaesltd_bYbQvPn0YovSUQ1tk=\/1400x1050\/filters:format(jpeg)\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25587856\/2167457895.jpg\" alt=\"Final 2024 Detroit Lions 53-man roster prediction (Jeremy's edition) -  Pride Of Detroit\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"BZwnTF\">But all of Goff\u2019s career has been about change, adjustment, and perseverance. Whether it\u2019s navigating a brutal rookie season and dealing with a young head coach in Sean McVay, or having his world turned upside down after being dealt as a perceived \u201cthrow-in\u201d in a blockbuster trade, Goff has always seemed to come out of the other end of turbulence better than before.<\/p>\n<p id=\"iQTk0Y\">Will that be the case again in 2025?
