CBS Sports: Jared Goff Sends a Sincere Message to Fans After Lions-Commanders.
Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders stun the Detroit Lions 45-31 in the NFL playoffs, ending Jared Goff’s and the team’s stellar season. Goff had four turnovers that evening and was unable to generate much offensive activity. The former California quarterback finished with 313 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions on 23 of 40 throws. The Lions’ offense was led by running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who recorded 14 runs for 105 yards and two touchdowns in addition to another 70 receiving yards.
However, Jayden Daniels’ performance was the most noteworthy. The rookie for the Commanders recorded 51 yards on the run, 299 throwing yards, and two touchdowns. Goff addressed media during the Detroits’ postgame press conference following the defeat. The quarterback apologized to Lions supporters during the game’s discussion. “This is how I’m feeling, just a little bit numb, and yeah, trying to process it,” Goff stated. “I apologize to our fans and I’m really upset. It’s awful. It gets no harder than this. I realize I’m repeating myself and babbling, but it’s difficult. It’s challenging.
Center Frank Ragnow was one of Goff’s teammates who supported him despite his subpar play.
Ragnow declared, “Until the day I die, I will ride with Jared Goff.” “Anything related to football or life in general. One of the strongest athletes, leaders, and people in general, and I’ll always be there for him.” Nevertheless, the Lions’ season is coming to an end. With 15, the Lions broke the franchise record for most victories in a single season by three, making 2024 possibly the greatest season in the team’s history. However, with defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson identified as possible head coaching candidates from other league teams, there could be some doubts moving ahead.
