Jared Goff Named Offensive MVP as NFC Wins Pro Bowl Games in Thrilling Fashion
The Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff opened the Pro Bowl Games with a dominant performance—and he closed it in the same fashion, this time walking away with Offensive MVP honors.
The NFC secured a thrilling 56-50 victory over the AFC in the annual flag football Pro Bowl, capping off an exciting weekend of competition. On the defensive side, Minnesota Vikings defensive back Byron Murphy—Goff’s NFC teammate and division rival—earned Defensive MVP honors.
For Goff, a four-time Pro Bowler, this game was yet another showcase of his precision and efficiency. He completed 10 of 11 passes for 126 yards and three touchdowns, leading the NFC to a high-scoring win in the final game of the 2025 Pro Bowl Games in Orlando, Florida.
NFC Dominates the Weekend with 76-63 Win
The NFC’s victory in the flag football game sealed an overall 76-63 win over the AFC, including points accumulated from various skills competitions held earlier in the weekend.
Goff played a major role in the NFC’s dominant weekend, setting the tone early in the skills challenges. He won the “Passing the Test” throwing accuracy competition on Thursday, beating Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold in an exciting head-to-head battle.
This year’s Pro Bowl Games, designed to showcase both talent and entertainment, featured a mix of flag football, precision passing, dodgeball, relay races, and other skills-based events—all leading up to Sunday’s grand finale.
Goff’s Weekend Headlines Extend Beyond the Pro Bowl
In addition to his MVP performance in Orlando, Goff made headlines off the field as well.
On Friday, it was announced that Goff and his wife, Christen, are investing in a group led by Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores to help bring a WNBA franchise back to Detroit. The move underscores Goff’s deepening connection to the city and his commitment to expanding professional sports in Detroit.
Lions Fans Celebrate Goff’s Pro Bowl MVP & Strong Season
Detroit Lions fans have plenty of reasons to be excited about Jared Goff’s continued excellence. After leading the Lions to back-to-back playoff appearances, Goff proved once again why he’s among the NFL’s most consistent quarterbacks.
His near-perfect performance in the Pro Bowl reflects what Lions fans have come to expect from him—efficient passing, strong leadership, and a competitive drive.
While the Pro Bowl is an exhibition event, Goff’s ability to shine under the spotlight builds confidence heading into the 2025 NFL season, where Detroit hopes to make another deep playoff run.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Goff & the Lions?
With the 2024 season in the books, Goff will now turn his attention to the Lions’ offseason preparations. Detroit is expected to be active in free agency and the draft, with the goal of strengthening the roster for another Super Bowl push.
The Lions will enter the 2025 season as one of the favorites in the NFC, and with Goff continuing to deliver at a high level, Detroit’s championship window remains wide open.
For now, Goff will celebrate his Pro Bowl MVP honor—an achievement that caps off another stellar chapter in his Lions career.
