Let’s face it, it has been a sub-par season so far for Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff but on Sunday, he played his best game of the season during a 29-27 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
With the Lions trailing 27-23 with just seconds remaining on the clock, Goff took the snap and found rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown in the end zone for the walk-off touchdown.
As soon as the pass was completed, Goff did not run to St. Brown to celebrate but he instead ran straight to Lions head coach Dan Campbell.
On Tuesday, Peter King released his latest column and he revealed exactly what Campbell said to Goff following the final touchdown.
From Pro Football Talk:
“What’d you say to Goff right then?” I said.
“I said, ‘That’s the way to throw it when we needed it, m—–f—–!’ ” Campbell said.
I laughed and Campbell said: “That is exactly what I said.”
“He had a couple of rough throws,” Campbell said. “For him to come back on that last drive and march us down the field and do what he did, it says a lot. He needed it. We needed it, more importantly.”
For now, everybody in Allen Park is happy but for that happiness to continue, Goff is going to have to continue to play good football.
