After an impressive 2024 campaign, four Detroit Lions are up for major awards. Included in that four is quarterback Jared Goff, who is a finalist for the Most Valuable Player award.

After their 2024 playoff exit, the Detroit Lions have begun their rebuild, as Dan Campbell adds a new wide receiver to strengthen Jared Goff's offense. The Detroit Lions were unexpectedly eliminated in the 2025 NFL playoffs.

The Cincinnati Bengals have hired Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden as the next defensive coordinator of the franchise, ESPN's Pete Thamel reported Wednesday. Golden currently serves as Notre Dame’s defensive coordinator after two years on head coach Zac Taylor’s staff from 2020-21.

Al Golden agreed to return to Cincinnati on Wednesday after three seasons as Notre Dame's defensive coordinator, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the decision has not been announced.
