Guys, there's no hard feelings between Ben Johnson and Jared Goff. 😅 https://t.co/CnFycisWFd Via @SNFonNBC on X

What happened: Goff said Johnson's 'not so mobile' line carried no ill intent. Johnson joked about calling plays for Goff during his Detroit tenure ahead of facing him.

Why it matters: Johnson previously called plays for Goff in Detroit, making the reunion a focal point. Goff's efficiency anchored the offense last season and frames the rematch.

By the numbers: In 2025 with Detroit, Goff completed 393 of 578 passes for 4,564 yards with 34 touchdowns and 8 interceptions across 17 games.

What to watch: The pair meet Sunday, with attention on how Goff handles a defense designed by his former play-caller.
