Detroit Lions Jared Goff on playoff win over Rams: it’s about us

When the Rams and Lions lined up for the playoffs, the storyline was largely about the return of Matthew Stafford. But current Lions QB Jared Goff had a simple message after beating LA: It’s about us.

Goff. Um and I expect next week to be you know on top of that or second you know and it’s a special place to play. And I’ve only been here for three years. But to see us come from where we were to where we are now and the

Fans, um, endure some of that. Um, it’s special to be able to get this w for them and for this group in our locker room. Can you talk about what what I’m sorry. What this past week was like for you? Yeah. You know. Yeah it was, uh, it was fine.

Like I said earlier in the week, it was kind of tracking for this matchup for a while, so I kind of had some time to, you know, get ready for, you know, the, the fanfare that would be and, um, I just kept going back to what this game was about, and it

Was about us. It was not about them. It was not about me. It was not about my history. There It wasn’t about anyone on their team or, um, any coaches. It was. It was about us. It was about the 53in this locker room. Our coaches, um, and this organization getting a playoff

Win in front of our home crowd. Your offensive line give credit constantly. Yeah. Different level pocket today in terms of win times. We see the field. Yeah. How critical was the blocking to your day and the offense’s day. Yeah. They were they were on their game today.

And um that’s not a no slouch d line over there. And um anytime 99 is on the other side you got to be on your game. And um, they were today, man. They were they were great. And, uh, came to play and came to win. You took that first knee through your

Arms out. Can you just explain the what you feel and whatever’s going through that? Yeah, it was uh, it almost it was surreal, you know, it was it was something that you kind of imagined for so long. Um, from the moment I got here, you imagine getting that playoff win

And having type of this type of atmosphere in front of our home crowd and, um, being able to sit on the ball like that and finish it out and, uh, yeah, it kind of all hit me there and, um, to be honest with you, I didn’t know

It was over once we got the first down. And until they sent in the personnel and it kind of all hit me at once. But, um, yeah, I kind of had to subdue, uh, a lot of emotions this week, and, um, was able to kind of enjoy that moment. You met with

Tyler after that? Tyler. Yeah What were those emotions? Do you feel still feel a connection to that team a little bit, of course. He’s one of my best friends. Um, him sustaining the injury he did is, uh, is hard. It’s hard for me to, um, you know, sit on the sidelines and

Watch that and, um, you know, I know he’ll be just fine. You know? I don’t know what he’s going to, you know, end up doing, but, um, he’ll be just fine. And I love him. Completion to completion. The same ground pass you probably heard of many times. Yep When you had the

Ball, then and that was unfolding, did it feel differently? Did you feel the moment? You know, it was it was like every other rep we’ve had of that play 100 million times. Uh, it was him one on one with the nickel and, um, go win. And it was, it was pitching catch.

And that dude’s as good as he gets. And, uh, I was able to put it on him. And again, I wish I kind of knew that that would have sealed the game. And then I would have been able to really enjoy that moment. But um, was excited. We got the first down.

Then I realized the game was over. Did you find yourself at all rooting for green Bay? Just given know the ramifications of bringing a second home game? Oh, sure. Yeah I wasn’t really I didn’t had no preference there. If we had to go to Dallas, great. Now we
