2024 Playoff QB Power Rankings: Love knocking on top 5 (7. Jared Goff DETROIT LIONS QB:  Goff is entrenching himself as something of a local legend, delivering the Lions' first home playoff victory in more than 30 years with sharp and savvy pocket passing. The proof has been there all year: Give him protection, and he'll pick the other side apart. Now comes the tricky part: Can he stand his ground and avoid forcing throws if/when the heavier pressure of a team like the Buccaneers comes crashing down? If so, don't rule out Goff's second career Super Bowl appearance.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2024-nfl-qb-power-rankings-packers-jordan-love-bills-josh-allen-highlight-enticing-divisional-round-crop/

Weighing fifth-year options for 2021 NFL Draft's first-round selections: Who merits further commitment? (7.  Penei Sewell - Exercise the option? Yes.  Earning a Pro Bowl nod in each of the last two seasons, Sewell has established himself as a crucial pillar in the Lions’ offense, a unit that has made strides each year with Sewell primarily manning the right tackle spot. He is one of the premier tackles in the game today, and it’s nice to see him getting recognized for it with a first-team All-Pro selection.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/weighing-fifth-year-options-for-2021-nfl-draft-s-first-round-selections-who-merits-further-commitment

QB confidence meter: Any playoff passers trustworthy beyond Mahomes? (5. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions:  Aside from Mahomes, he’s the only other quarterback left in the field who’s played on Super Sunday – though Goff’s disappointing showing in Super Bowl 53 helped lead the Rams to trade him for Stafford two years later. And don’t forget, Los Angeles HC Sean McVay even opted to start John Wolford over Goff in a playoff game three years ago. Yet Goff wound up relieving injured Wolford in that wild-card game at Seattle and played quite well off the bench in a victory. And he’s gotten increasingly better from that point forward, notably in Sunday night’s defeat of his old LA buddies, when he connected on 22 of 27 attempts for 277 yards and a TD. Beating McVay and Stafford had to feel like personal vindication for Goff, much as he tried to downplay it. Will facing the Bucs allow him to play even freer? Or could a letdown set in? Goff wasn’t exactly consistent week to week in 2023, but he was fantastic at Tampa in Week 6 (353 yards, 2 TDs). He’s got a great shot to lead the Lions to just their second NFC championship game, though it remains to be seen if he can sustain a heater that carries them to their first Super Bowl.):  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/nate-davis/2024/01/18/nfl-playoff-quarterbacks-ranked-which-remaining-passers-do-you-trust/72243803007/
