Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff knew he had big shoes to fill when it came to buying Christmas gifts for his offensive line.

After Brock Purdy made headlines by gifting each of his linemen a new car, Goff felt the pressure to match such a generous gesture.

However, rather than going the route of expensive vehicles, Goff opted for something a bit more practical and tasty for his linemen: a YETI cooler filled with premium Wagyu beef, steaks, and other cuts of meat, according to Tim Twentyman on X.

Goff commented on the challenge of competing with Purdy’s car gifts, saying, “It’s hard when you got guys giving out Toyota trucks to try and keep up with that, but I got them a nice YETI package with a ton of Wagyu, steaks, and beef. I hope they like it.”

Given that the Lions’ offensive line averages over 320 pounds per player, it’s safe to say that the beefy gifts will be a hit with his teammates.

Thanks to a strong offensive line, Goff has been one of the least-sacked quarterbacks in the NFL this season, only going down 27 times in 15 games. Understanding the importance of the big men up front, Goff made sure his gifts would be more useful than a luxury vehicle.

While the linemen might have appreciated a new truck, the selection of high-quality beef ensures they’ll stay well-fed and fueled for the remainder of the season, keeping Goff protected in the pocket.

Goff’s gesture comes after signing a four-year, $212 million contract extension, with $170 million guaranteed, which has led to comparisons between how much quarterbacks spend on their offensive lines.

Although Purdy’s gifts may have been more expensive, Goff’s thoughtful present demonstrates his appreciation for the hard work his linemen put in.

While a shiny new truck might have been a nice touch, the cooler full of premium meat is a gift that will keep on giving, ensuring the offensive line remains well-nourished as they continue their pursuit of a Super Bowl title.

As the Lions aim for a deep playoff run, Goff can be confident that his well-fed offensive line will be ready to protect him through the postseason.

Should the Lions win the Super Bowl, Goff’s offensive linemen may find themselves hoping for another round of beefy gifts in the future.
