After a week of scrutiny following a five-interception game, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff made an impressive comeback in the Lions’ 52-6 rout of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Dan Campbell praised Goff’s ability to bounce back, highlighting his resilience and focus on improvement.
Campbell acknowledged the unusual circumstances of the previous week but emphasized Goff’s unshakable confidence. “Whatever happened last week – it wasn’t a bad game for him. The circumstances were just bizarre,” Campbell remarked, as quoted by SI. “But for him, it’s always about ‘I’m going to play better.’”
And play better he did.
On Sunday, Goff was exceptional, passing for over 400 yards and four touchdowns, leading the Lions’ explosive offense to a historic performance. Campbell wasn’t surprised by Goff’s response, calling him a “stud” and expressing admiration for his consistent top-tier play.
“Goff was outstanding, once again,” Campbell said. “That’s the player we have, and that’s the level of football he’s been playing. He continues to perform at a high level.”
Beyond Goff’s leadership, the entire Lions’ offense stepped up, executing efficiently and finishing drives strongly. The dominant win proved that Goff is not only resilient but also capable of steering his team to commanding victories when necessary.
With the offense firing on all cylinders and Goff playing like the “stud” Campbell describes, Detroit’s playoff aspirations are stronger than ever.
