As long as Goff can keep it rolling, this unit is almost unstoppable,&#8221; Gagnon wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The Lions don&#8217;t have many weaknesses on offense, as the team boasts a versatile and productive run game with Gibbs and Montgomery, a dynamic receiving duo in St. Brown and Williams, and an efficient veteran quarterback in Goff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the offensive line, led by All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell, is one of the most dominant groups in football and is the engine of the offense.<\/p>\n<p>The departure of Johnson, who took the Chicago Bears head coaching job, isn&#8217;t ideal.
