From Kellen Moore to Kliff Kingsbury: What's gone right, wrong for every NFL OC, playcaller this season (Detroit Lions - Offensive coordinator: Ben Johnson. Playcaller: Johnson. What has gone right? The Lions have the No. 1 scoring offense in the NFL, averaging 33.6 points. Johnson has proved to be one of the most creative minds in the league, utilizing all of Detroit's skill players, for a team that has gotten off to one of the best starts in franchise history.  What has gone wrong? During Detroit's lone loss in Week 2 against Tampa Bay, the offense scored one touchdown in seven red zone trips. The six red zone drives without a touchdown were the most by a Lions team in a game since 1981, per ESPN Research. Outside of that game, not much has gone wrong.  Key to second half: Just continuing to build on what has been working. There is no doubt in Johnson's mind that he could be a head coach, but he loves what they've built in Detroit. The Lions' run game is strong, veteran quarterback Jared Goff has revived his career under Johnson's direction, and Detroit has a serious shot to win a Super Bowl with this high-powered offense. -- Eric Woodyard):  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42466407/nfl-offensive-coordinator-kellen-moore-kliff-kingsbury

Why your NFL team won, lost in Week 11 (Why the Lions won: The Lions offense went off against the Jaguars, and Jared Goff was dealing from a clean pocket. Goff was kept clean on 78.1% of his dropbacks and completed 21-of-24 pass attempts for 304 yards and three touchdowns, posting a 91.3 overall grade in the blowout win. He also contributed to 18 first downs from the clean pocket and had a perfect 158.3 passer rating.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-why-your-nfl-team-won-lost-in-week-11

NFL playoffs: Postseason probabilities for every team entering Week 12 (1.

The Lions will have a chance to make it three in five this weekend when they visit Indianapolis. With the way Philly is playing, Dan Campbell's group can't afford to let its foot off the pedal.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-playoff-picture-postseason-probabilities-entering-week-12-of-2024-season

NFL MVP Watch 2024: Ranking the Top Five Candidates for the Award (4. Jared Goff, QB, Detroit Lions
There’s an argument to be made that Goff destroyed any hope of winning the MVP award when he threw five interceptions against the Houston Texans a couple of weeks back. However, Goff is captaining arguably the best team in the NFL with the Lions sitting at 9–1 largely because of an offense that has twice scored more than 50 points in victory.  All told, Goff’s numbers are solid. He’s 10th in the NFL with 2,492 passing yards, fourth with 20 passing touchdowns and tops with 9.2 yards per attempt. If Detroit ends up being the league’s best team and earns the NFC’s top seed, Goff is going to get consideration as he did in 2018 as a member of the Los Angeles Rams.):  https://www.si.com/nfl/nfl-mvp-watch-2024-ranking-the-top-five-candidates-for-the-award

NFL GM Rankings 2024: Howie Roseman, Brett Veach, and Eric DeCosta Lead the Way (5. Brad Holmes, Detroit Lions - If any general manager has nailed the draft in recent years, it’s Brad Holmes.  Since taking over as the Lions GM in 2021, Holmes has drafted foundational players such as Penei Sewell, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Aidan Hutchinson, Alim McNeil, Sam LaPorta, and Brian Branch.  He also hit a home run by hiring Dan Campbell as head coach, and the Matthew Stafford trade has paid off massively, as Jared Goff has been a revelation in Detroit.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-gm-rankings-2024-howie-roseman-brett-veach-eric-decosta-at-the-top/
