The Detroit Lions saw their season end in heartbreaking fashion last weekend in the NFC championship game.
The Lions led 24-7 going into halftime against the No. 1 seed San Francisco 49ers, but the second half was a completely different story and the Lions ultimately lost 34-31.
It was a tough way to go out, but this was still the best football season the city of Detroit has seen in a long time.
One of the main reasons for Detroit’s success is quarterback Jared Goff. Goff was traded to the Lions for Matthew Stafford a few years ago, and was able to help put together his best season in more than 30 years.
The former Lions are no more and Goff shared a message with Detroit fans to let them know the best is yet to come.“I’m so proud to be a part of this special group of guys this year,” Jared Goff said in an Instagram post. “Thank you to the best fans in the world for the incredible amount of support and love we have received throughout the season.
The best is yet to come. “The future of the Lions looks extremely promising. They have a lot of young players, their head coach and general manager are two of the best in the NFL, and they will have their offensive and defensive coordinators back next season.
Everyone thought their OC, Ben Johnson, would take over the head coaching job since he is one of the best coordinators in the league.
However, he turned down those opportunities because he wanted to win a Super Bowl in Detroit.Big things are expected from the Lions next season and they will have the resources to have another successful year.
It didn’t happen this year, but this group is dying to bring a Super Bowl to the Motor City.
