Goff outperformed Stroud despite losing Johnson; Detroit's offense superior to Houston's.

Goff significantly outperformed C.J. Stroud in 2025 despite losing offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Goff posted 0.17 EPA per dropback, 48.0% passing success rate, and +1.78% CPOE, compared to Stroud's 0.07 EPA per dropback, 44.7% passing success rate, and +0.36% CPOE. Both quarterbacks faced similar pressure rates (36-37%), so the gap is not attributable to protection differences. Detroit's offensive environment was also superior: 11.2 red-zone plays per game with a 68.8% conversion rate and 27.8 offensive points per game, versus Houston's 9.8 red-zone plays, 49.3% conversion rate, and 22.4 offensive points per game. This context supports the appeal of Detroit's offensive ecosystem for skill-position players.
