The Detroit Lions extended their undefeated streak on the road with a thrilling 40-34 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. Following the game, Jared Goff called out the Lions fans who have been crucial to their success away from home.
Pride in Undefeated Road Record
When asked about the team's remarkable 8-0 record on the road this season, Goff didn't shy away from giving credit where it's due. “A ton,” he said with pride. “I answered this on the field earlier, but the ‘us-against-everybody' mentality, how tight this group is, how close we are, that comes out in full force on the road.”
Detroit Lions Fans as the Unsung Heroes
Goff went on to praise the Lions' fanbase, acknowledging how much of a difference they have made during the road games. “Our fans have shown up to road games and they have made a difference. They’ve made it feel like semi home games, and that’s important,” he added.
JARED GOFF!! JARED GOFF!! JARED GOFF!!
Goff also acknowledged the fans chanting his name.
“It's pretty surreal,” Goff said. “Our fans have been unbelievable all year for road games. It’s truly remarkable what they’ve done. It’s loud on third down for the offense, and it’s pretty cool. It’s very cool for me to be home in front of my family and friends and have an experience like that.”
With the Lions clinching a playoff spot and eyeing the NFC North title, Goff’s words reflected a deep sense of pride, not just in his teammates but in the fans who’ve consistently supported the team, no matter where the game is played.
As the season progresses, it’s clear that the Detroit Lions are feeding off the energy from their supporters, creating a true “home-field advantage” even when playing away. The challenge now is to keep the momentum going into the final game of the regular season, which will take place next Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings.
