The Detroit Lions clinched the NFC North with a win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, the first time in 30 years that the Lions have won their division. It also marks an incredible turnaround from just two years ago, when the Lions went 3-13-1 in quarterback Jared Goff’s first year with the team.
Goff has earned a lot of respect with his success in Detroit, including from rival quarterbacks. After Detroit’s victory, Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins complimented Goff for his journey to this moment.
“Hey Jared, congrats man. Happy for you, great job,” Cousins told Goff. “Way to bounce back from 0-8 a couple of years ago to where you are now. It’s incredible, a lot of grit.”
