“All he’s done since he’s been here is play at an elite level and everything starts with him. Facing skepticism after that first season, it wasn’t clear to Lions fans heading into the 2022 season if Goff was going to be around long. It started a wave of momentum that built into the greatest Lions season that most fans have ever experienced. Goff throwing the ball during the third quarter against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship. Goff, meanwhile, made a few spectacular throws, a few dangerous ones and many safe ones to his playmakers.

CNN —Sixteen years ago, the Detroit Lions made history – but for all the wrong reasons. St. Brown catches a touchdown against Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Zyon McCollum during the second half of their NFC divisional round playoff game. Campbell watches from the sideline during the second quarter of the Lions' game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. Mitch Stringer/USA TODAY Sports/ReutersThat speech, which some mocked and others praised, came three years to the day before the Lions’ playoff victory over the Bucs. A final standJanuary 12, 1992: the last time the Detroit Lions took to the field for an NFC Championship game.

They host the Detroit Lions, who haven’t reached this point in 32 years and have never played in a Super Bowl. 1 seeds are 34-14 in conference championship games, including 2-0 last season when the Chiefs went on to beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl. If the 49ers and Chiefs advance, it'll set up a Super Bowl rematch. The two-time NFL and Super Bowl MVP has embraced the challenge and now faces the league’s stingiest defense.

PinnedQuarterbacks, top-10 trades and a bull market for running backs headlined the first round of this year’s N.F.L. The Carolina Panthers chose Alabama quarterback Bryce Young at No. After the Texans picked Stroud, they struck again, leaping from pick No. One unexpected development was the move toward running backs, a position that has been devalued in the N.F.L. But teams picked other quarterbacks or filled other needs, this year’s reminder that pre-draft speculation is just that.
