The Detroit Lions have not exactly looked like a well-oiled machine during the first two weeks of the NFL season.
In Week 1, the team squandered a 21-0 advantage against the Saints before ultimately securing an overtime victory. The following week, they found themselves trailing by 21 points during a 41-31 defeat in Buffalo. This uneven start has generated significant skepticism regarding the team’s viability as a top-tier contender this year. However, quarterback Jared Goff welcomes the doubt, believing it will ultimately bring out the best in his squad.
“I’m excited to get back home and play in front of our fans for sure, but you love when the vultures start coming out,” Goff said. “Guys’ character really emerges and I know our guys in this locker room and you can see those guys stand tall and be who they are. Stand in the fire, take the shots and fight right through it. . . . We’re in a great place. Excited to get back in front of our fans.”
Securing a victory against the Jets this Sunday would silence the external criticism, whereas a defeat would likely leave Goff and the Lions feeling significantly less secure about their position as they head into October.
