JUST IN: Jared Goff of the Lions talks about winning the postseason against the Rams.
Speaking with West Wilson of Complex, quarterback Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions recently discussed winning a wild-card playoff game this past January against the Los Angeles Rams, who employed him from 2016 until the 2020 campaign.
As early as fall of 2021, Goff admitted that he felt humiliated and had a grudge after the 2020 season, having been traded to the Lions in exchange for Los Angeles signal-caller Matthew Stafford.
Prior to Detroit’s Ford Field playoff game against the Rams, the 29-year-old declared that the trade-related chip on his shoulder would “never leave me.” Goff went on to complete 22 of 27 passes for 277 yards and a touchdown, leading the Lions to their first playoff victory since January 1992, with a score of 24-23.
After all, Detroit made it to the NFC Championship Game, where the team lost 34–31 to the San Francisco 49ers after blowing a 24–7 halftime advantage.
The Lions are second among NFC betting favorites at +1200 chances to win Super Bowl LIX in February of next year, according to DraftKings Sportsbook, and Goff may shortly sign a contract extension with Detroit.
