Jared Goff relieved after first win with Lions, credits Dan Campbell

• Jared Goff’s change of scenery has been relatively drastic over this calendar year. He went from being the entrenched franchise quarterback for a team perpetually in an over-caffeinated, win-now mode, to being positioned as more a stopgap answer (with a shot to play his way into being more than that) for a team in a complete and total rebuilding posture. So yeah, winning for the first time in the latter location felt pretty good for the former No. 1 pick. “For me personally, it’s good,” he said. “It’s why I come to play, you play to win a game and I don’t think much about the past. I think more about how we can be better, but I think my feeling to that is noted from the other 52 guys on our team.” Which is a fair enough answer, and how any quarterback should probably respond to that sort of question. That said, I also figured there was no way what’s happened over the last 11 months hadn’t impacted Goff’s outlook. And that much he was willing to confirm for me after the game. “I’m tougher, mentally,” he said. “A lot of hard times, obviously, since January. But again, we all have hard times, it’s all relative. So how do you find a way to show up every day with a smile on your face and get better, and be the best teammate you can be? And no doubt, it’s tested me. It’s tested me. Yeah since January, it’s tested me. But I feel like I’ve done a good job of rising to the occasion and will continue to. Obviously, like I said, our record isn’t what we want it to be, but the fight and the will to win every week has remained.” Which brings us to another point from the Lions’ first win.
