If you are a Rams fan rooting for Jared Goff to have success with the Detroit Lions, you were in luck on Thursday night. The former number one overall pick helped the Lions pull a 21-20 upset over the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL’s first game of the season, including a go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter that was a vintage version of Goff at his best.
The Lions and Goff have now won nine of their last 11 games.
But set aside Goff’s best drive of the game for a moment, which is something that Rams fans saw plenty of times during his run with the team and under Sean McVay from 2017 to 2020, that being the fact that the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback has proven capable of running an offense when he’s surrounded by talent.
