The Detroit Lions and Jared Goff's time together got off to a slow start, but they've proved to be a perfect match. After going 3-13-1 in Goff's first year and starting the second 1-6, the Lions hit their stride and haven't looked back. The result, now a year-and-a half later, is a team that leads the NFC with a 10-1 record.

While the Lions have seemingly exploded onto the NFL scene in dominating fashion, the reality is that momentum has been building in Detroit for years.
