The Detroit Lions are still enjoying the glow of their division championship from last season and are actively working on team cohesion during this offseason in various ways. Frank Ragnow, the Lions’ standout center and a prominent figure on the team, recently found himself in a humorous situation when footage of him surfaced, courtesy of quarterback Jared Goff’s girlfriend, Christen Harper, which has since gone viral. This incident occurred around the time when one of Goff’s most underrated teammates signed a new deal with the Lions, adding to the team’s offensive arsenal. Interestingly, the new addition to the offense was named in honor of Dan Campbell’s significant contract extension.
Now, the question arises: Does Goff possess the necessary talent to lead the Lions to their inaugural Super Bowl victory? Additionally, there’s a lighthearted speculation about whether Harper has the capability to take Ragnow’s position on the team.

In the video displayed below, Goff and his newfound celebrity girlfriend demonstrated their abilities. Harper assumed the role of snapping the ball to Goff, which appeared to be a playful hint at the Lions’ All-Pro center that his position could be at risk.
“That’s our QB,” remarked one fan in reaction to the video.
“Queen of the North,” chimed in another fan, praising Harper’s involvement.
Another fan observed that Goff seemed to be addressing his perceived weakness of throwing the ball outside the numbers, encouraging the former California Golden Bear to transform that weakness into a strength.
Lions Slipping in NFC North?
In recent seasons, Goff, Ragnow, and Campbell’s Lions have thrived in the underdog role, garnering attention from the media as darlings of the NFL. However, longtime ESPN host Mike Greenberg recently expressed his opinion that Detroit is not on par with their division rivals, the Green Bay Packers.
“I think they missed their window,” Greenberg remarked, suggesting that their opportunity to contend for a championship was last year.
Greenberg further stated, “I think they’re being surpassed within their own division. I believe Green Bay is now superior to them.”
