Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw five interceptions. The offense looked out of sorts. Yet, the Lions found a way to win on Sunday Night Football, 26-23 over the Houston Texans.
For Goff, it may have been a rough day, but he’s putting things into a bigger perspective. He spoke with the media after the game and explained how he’s been through much worse.
“I honestly didn’t feel like I was playing all that bad, and I was seeing things well,” Goff said. “I was throwing it well. I had some unfortunate things there early, but I’ve been through a whole lot worse than that. I’ve been to the bottom. Mentally I’ve been to the bottom. Some unlucky plays isn’t going to throw me off my game.”
Goff went on to add:” It’s a battle. It’s hard. I didn’t feel like I was playing all that bad. I was seeing things well. The tipped ball — ultimately I have to take care of the ball, but they were playing some good plays, and some things that weren’t going our way, and I think ultimately I never lost confidence because I felt like I was doing what I was supposed to do on most of those plays. Our defense really bailed us out. They really did all day. The guys stuck with me on offense, and I’m telling them, ‘Hey, man, I’m good, just hang in there, and I’m good, I’m going to have this thing figured out’. They stuck with me.”
In the end, the five interceptions were a mere bump in the road on Detroit’s path to the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Even with Goff having an off day, the Lions still found a way to win. That’s the sign of a Super Bowl contender.
