The pressure has been built for the Lions of Detroit in the last two seasons.
In 2023, they proved that they belong to the elite of the NFC by taking almost the 49ers of San Francisco during the NFC championship match.
This led to large expectations in 2024 and to the lions delivered during the regular season, winning a record of 15-2.
Unfortunately, they were well below expectations during the playoffs because they were eliminated during their first eliminatory match of the year.

Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports Classified Goff fourth on a quarter-back list under the greatest pressure to win the Super Bowl.
The three QB under more pressure were Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen.
Goff has already had his first chance in a Super Bowl. He led the Los Angeles Rams to the Big Game during the 2018 season.
It didn’t go well for him. He only completed 19 of the 38 assists and launched an interception on the path of a 13-3 defeat against the Patriots of New England. The three points equally never in a super bowl.
Subsequently, Goff took a lot of blame for the loss.
During his stay with the Lions, he proved that he is a much better QB than what we saw in this defeat against the Patriots.

There is even only pressure on him right now because he helped Lions to become a competitor in good faith.
When the Lions get their next crack in the playoffs, it should be better than its three interception performance against commanders.
However, he gave fans many reasons to believe that performance was only an abnormality after three consecutive seasons of more than 4000 yards and a fifth place in MVP vote last season.
Before obtaining another crack in a super bowl, Goff will have to go through a charged NFC Nord and a lot of difficult competition in the playoffs, but we all know that the trophy will be the only thing in the spirit of the Lions before the 2025 season.
