Following the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-dan-campbell-record-setting-win-bears">Detroit Lions’ dominant 34-17 victory over the Chicago Bears</a>, Goff became just the third quarterback in NFL history to achieve a 13+ win season with multiple franchises. He <a href="https://x.com/The33rdTeamFB/status/1870941780352680354" rel="noopener">joins an elite group</a> consisting of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.</p><p>“Jared Goff is the 3rd QB with a 13+ win season for multiple franchises in NFL history, Goff joins Peyton Manning + Tom Brady.” The 33rd Team noted on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-detroit-makes-history-dominant-win-bears">Lions’ 13th win of the season set a new franchise record</a>, underscoring the team’s exceptional year. Goff, who previously achieved a 13-win season with the Los Angeles Rams in 2018, has seamlessly transitioned into the leader of Detroit’s high-powered offense.</p><p>Against the Bears, Goff delivered another stellar performance, completing <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/lions-run-fake-fumble-to-perfection-fool-bears-in-blowout-for-franchise-record-13th-win-203519383.html" rel="noopener">23-of-32 passes for 336 yards</a>, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. His precision passing included an 82-yard touchdown bomb to Jameson Williams, who finished the day with five receptions for 143 yards and a score.</p><h2><b>The Lions take down the Bears after a roaring victory</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Jared-Goff_69a854.jpg"><figcaption>Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Lions’ offense, which leads the NFL in scoring, piled up 474 total yards despite missing injured running back David Montgomery. Rookie Jahmyr Gibbs stepped up in the backfield, amassing 154 total yards and a touchdown. While Goff’s strong arm and decision-making drove the Lions’ success, the team also showcased its creative play-calling. A brilliantly executed trick play resulted in a touchdown pass to tight end Sam LaPorta.</p><p>Goff feigned a stumble after taking the snap, selling a fake fumble that drew Chicago’s defense out of position. By the time the Bears realized the deception, LaPorta had broken free, and Goff connected with him for a wide-open touchdown.</p><p>“Our coaches do a great job seeing tendencies,” LaPorta said postgame. “We noticed the defense reacted heavily to a fumble, so we used that to our advantage.”</p><p>With the win, the Lions improved to 13-2 and maintained their hold on first place in the NFC. They are in a tight race for the conference’s No. 1 seed with the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings. Detroit’s defense, missing key players like Aidan Hutchinson and Carlton Davis III, allowed 382 yards to the Bears.</p><p>Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams had one of his best games for Chicago, throwing for 334 yards and two touchdowns. Despite some defensive concerns, Detroit’s potent offense once again proved too much for its opponent. As the postseason nears, Goff and the Lions continue to demonstrate their championship potential. With his name now alongside Brady and Manning, Goff has cemented his place in NFL history while leading Detroit on a record-setting path.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

A perfectly executed trick play resulted in a touchdown, highlighting the Lions’ dominance and innovative play-calling under offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.</p><p>The play started innocuously enough, with quarterback Jared Goff taking the snap on first-and-10 from Chicago’s 21-yard line. Then the drama unfolded. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-ben-johnson-schools-bears-jared-goff-fake-stumble-td">Goff stumbled forward, appearing to fumble</a> as running back Jahmyr Gibbs mimicked a botched handoff. The chaos triggered shouts of “ball, ball” and “fumble, fumble” from the Bears’ defense. But it was all an elaborate act.</p><p>Goff never lost control of the ball. As the Bears defenders converged to recover the supposed fumble, tight end Sam LaPorta broke free downfield.

A couple of weeks ago, they noticed on film that the defense reacted heavily to a fumble, so we used that to our advantage.”</p><p>The touchdown extended Detroit’s lead to 34-14 early in the third quarter and cemented their victory, improving their record to a franchise-best 13-2. Goff continued his stellar season, completing 23 of 32 passes for 336 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover. He also connected on an <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-winners-and-losers-bears-embarrass-themselves-again-who-will-coach-this-mess-in-2025-212519239.html" rel="noopener">82-yard touchdown</a> to Jameson Williams, who finished with five receptions for 143 yards and a score.</p><p>With running back David Montgomery sidelined, Gibbs stepped up in the No. 1 role, racking up 154 total yards and a touchdown. The Lions’ offense amassed 474 total yards, maintaining their spot as the NFL’s highest-scoring unit. While the Lions offense was nearly unstoppable, the defense showed vulnerabilities.</p><p>The unit, missing starters like Aidan Hutchinson and cornerbacks Khalil Dorsey and Carlton Davis III, allowed 382 yards to Chicago. Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams had one of his best games, throwing for 334 yards and two touchdowns. Despite these concerns, the Lions have solidified their position atop the NFC standings. They’re in a fierce race for the No. 1 seed and a first-round playoff bye with the Eagles and Vikings, both close behind.</p><p>The Lions’ 13th win is a testament to their balanced attack and coaching creativity. As the postseason looms, the team will need to address its defensive inconsistencies. But for now, Detroit fans can celebrate a historic season led by one of the NFL’s most dynamic offenses.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

LaPorta was wide open with the Bears’ defense confused, and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-jared-goff-jameson-williams-already-dancing-on-bears-grave-with-82-yard-td">Lions continued their Week 16 rout</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This was planned.<br>Ben Johnson is intentional. <a href="https://t.co/OBGo0pRA5q">pic.twitter.com/OBGo0pRA5q</a></p><p>— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1870922836405047391?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 22, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>In real-time, it looked like Goff and Gibbs might’ve miscommunicated, but after the play resulted in a touchdown, it was clear what Johnson and the Lions’ offense did.</p><p>It was an incredible play design, proving why so many teams— including the Bears— are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-how-ben-johnson-feels-about-bears-head-coach-opening">interested in Johnson as their next head coach</a>.</p><h2><b>Lions OC Ben Johnson showing out in possible Bears HC interview</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Ben-Johnson_6d5c61.jpg"><figcaption>Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Once the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-fire-matt-eberflus-following-lions-disaster">Bears fired Matt Eberflus</a> after playing the Lions on Thanksgiving, it was clear their eyes were set on evaluating candidates for the upcoming season, including Johnson.</p><p>And with the Lions’ play-caller entering his third offseason as a potential head coach candidate, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-adam-schefter-speculates-on-ben-johnson-bears-interest">many have linked Johnson to the Bears</a>.</p><p>It’s a fit that makes sense as equally as it doesn’t.</p><p>Would Johnson want to work under owners such as the McCaskey’s, who’ve continuously made the Bears a laughing stock with poor decision-making? Would Johnson want to stay within the NFC North after leaving the Lions? Both of those questions appear to be why Johnson wouldn’t want to make the move to Chicago.</p><p>However, on the other hand, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-ben-johnson-caleb-williams-endorsement-hc-rumors">Johnson would have Caleb Williams</a> at his disposal, a rookie quarterback who’s eclipsed NFL history in his first season. Not only has Williams set history in his rookie season, but he’s done it on a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-ripped-nfl-analyst-caleb-williams-mismanagement">dysfunctional Bears team</a> that’s done almost everything they could to hold him back.</p><p>At the end of the day, Johnson and the Lions offense showed out in what could be seen as an interview for Detroit’s offensive coordinator.</p><p>And after one of the most impressive trick plays of the season, Johnson’s Week 16 performance as a play-caller should’ve jumped him to the top of the Bears’ coach list.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
