The old Lions are gone, and Goff sent a message to Detroit fans, telling them that the best is yet to come.
"So proud to be part of this special group of guys this year," Jared Goff wrote on Instagram.
"We are grateful to the world's best fans for their unwavering support and affection throughout the season.
