Jared Goff is frustrated with coverage of Lions. Goff has experienced a resurgence since being traded to the Detroit Lions.
The veteran passer has helped the team to a division title in his third year, becoming a huge figure within the realm of the city for his performance down the stretch and ability to overcome struggles in his career.
Goff appeared on the Willbo Trading Cards podcast hosted by Robbie and Will McInerny. It was a reunion of sorts, as Goff played with Robbie at the collegiate level at Cal while Will played baseball at UCLA.
During his appearance, Goff voiced frustrations with the Lions’ local media. Specifically, it stemmed from a press conference leading up to the NFC Championship game in which he was asked about a perceived gap in skill between the Lions and 49ers.
“I have this like, and I need to drop it soon here because I’m gonna hopefully be in Detroit for a long time,” Goff said. “But I have this thing with our local media where they almost relish in negativity at times.
And maybe that’s what get clicks and that’s what sells. But it’s no longer what they need to live in. Hey guys, we have a good team, we’ve had success. We can be happy about that, we can celebrate that and not have to write about how we’re constantly the underdog.
No, teams are gonna be gunning for us now, we’ve won the division. I’m probably over-thinking it in my head just because it’s the chip on my shoulder and the competitor in me, but in that moment I was just giving that guy a hard time.”
