Last Sunday’s game against the Bears ended well for Jared Goff and the Lions, but they needed to make a stunning comeback to win because of how bad things had gone most of the day.
Goff threw three interceptions that helped the Bears build a 26-14 lead that the Lions were able to wipe out in the final four minutes. Goff said the comeback was a sign of a good team immediately after the game, but that doesn’t mean he wants the feelings to linger.
On Tuesday, Goff said the quick turnaround to playing on Thanksgiving is a welcome way to wash away the memories of how things started against Chicago.
“It does help to be able to play so quickly now and be able to hopefully go into the weekend with, obviously a win, but a good taste in your mouth for how you played as well,” Goff said, via Justin Rogers of the Detroit News. “So yeah, I’d love to come out this week and play well and get a W and be able to put that one behind me.”
Winning a game when your quarterback is off the mark is a hard thing to replicate, so Goff won’t be the only one hoping that he avoids another turkey on Thanksgiving.
