Jared Goff Fires Back at Doubters Ahead of Giants Showdown

If there’s one thing Jared Goff refuses to do, it’s hide after a rough outing. Following a performance against Philadelphia that was far below his usual standard, the Lions quarterback stepped into the new week determined to take accountability, correct mistakes, and move forward.

Rewatching that loss didn’t go down easy. Goff acknowledged it was “not enjoyable… frustrating,” but what came next captured his mindset better than anything: he’s focused on “pulling out the small things” he can improve. That has defined his entire approach this week — not excuses, not handwringing, just intentional improvement.

No Panic, No Overreaction

Goff stressed that he isn’t treating last Sunday as anything more than a learning moment. When asked what he took from the tape, he responded simply: he needs to “clean up certain areas” and “put the ball where it needs to be.” No theatrics, no self-inflicted crisis.

Even when reporters mentioned the Eagles defensive line saying they picked up a tell in his mechanics, Goff brushed it aside. “Not at all… I see that as an outlier,” he said.

That’s Goff in a nutshell: fix what’s real, tune out the outside noise

Reconnecting With St. Brown — No Drama Required

Goff was also asked about his usually flawless rhythm with Amon-Ra St. Brown after their uncharacteristic off-game. His answer was quick: “We’re good… that was an outlier.”

No special meeting, no emotional check-ins — just two players who trust their long-established chemistry.

Turning the Page — And Turning Toward the Giants

With Detroit returning to Ford Field for a three-game homestand, Goff emphasized what it means to be back in front of the home crowd.

“It’s good to be in front of our fans again… feel that energy,” he said — and for a team that feeds off its home environment, that timing couldn’t be better.

He also made his priorities crystal clear: “I’m focused on winning… if we finish with 100 yards and still win, that’s all that matters.”

Vintage Goff — stats are secondary; winning is the entire point.

A Veteran Resetting the Tone

The overarching message from Goff this week is simple: he isn’t shaken. He’s played long enough to know every season comes with bumps, and the only thing that counts is how a team responds after they hit one.

The Lions need their quarterback steady and decisive. And based on his demeanor Wednesday, one thing is certain:

Goff has already moved past last week. Now the question is whether Detroit’s offense can rally behind him — starting Sunday against the Giants.
