Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff, who excelled with Ben Johnson as his offensive coordinator, joked with the new Chicago Bears head coach that wishes he didn't have to face him twice a year and thusly try to beat him twice a year.

Goff signed a four-year, $212 million contract extension in November 2024, three years after his trade from the Rams. The Lions cannot cut Goff at a financial gain until 2026, per Over The Cap. A post-June 1 designation then would save $35 million with $34.6 million in dead money.
