After a dominant 24-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff and his offensive linemen were seen laughing as they knelt to run out the final seconds of the game.
The lighthearted moment was sparked by some playful banter from the Packers’ defense, who were clearly frustrated by the loss.
In an interview on 97.1 The Ticket, Goff discussed the exchange, recalling,
“They said they’d play us again later in the year, and we replied, ‘Yeah, we know, we’re in the division, we play you guys twice a year every year.’”
Goff’s comments underscored the long-standing rivalry between the two teams and the familiarity of facing a division opponent year after year.
The laughter from Goff and his teammates reflected not only their confidence but also their ability to enjoy the moment after a solid performance against a familiar foe.
Despite the Packers’ attempts to rile up the Lions throughout the game, it seemed to have the opposite effect, only fueling their competitive drive.
With the win, the Lions moved to a 7-1 record, strengthening their grip on first place in the NFC North. Goff’s relaxed demeanor demonstrated the team’s embrace of success and their growing camaraderie.
As the season progresses, moments like these are building the team’s chemistry and belief in their potential to compete with the NFL’s best.
The next game in Detroit will further intensify this rivalry, and Goff’s remarks signal that the Lions are eager to prove themselves again. Fans can look forward to more high-energy matchups and memorable moments as the season continues.
