ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Before exiting Lambeau Field on Sunday night, quarterback Jared Goff took a victory lap around the stadium to slap hands with Detroit Lions fans who were still hanging around to celebrate.

After leading the Detroit (9-8) to its first winning season since 2017, which included a 20-16 win over the Packers on the road in the finale, Lions general manager Brad Holmes said he feels Goff has proved to be the franchise's guy at the position moving forward.

"I think it's a lot easier to get worse at quarterback than to get better in this league," Holmes said during his end-of-season news conference Tuesday.
