Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott Revealed Everything Jared Goff Said After Lions Loss to Bills…..

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff expressed the loss to the Buffalo Bills has the potential of having silver linings, if the team responds appropriately moving forward.

Here is everything Goff said after his team was defeated by the Bills, 48-42.

On having one of the best individual performances of his career and it not being enough to win the game: “Yeah, it’s not enough. That’s really the best way to put it. I think we were able to rack up some yards and some touchdowns there late in the game and if we had done that earlier in the game, it probably would’ve been a closer game and wouldn’t have felt so much like garbage time there at the end. I know we kind of made it close there at the end, you get the onside kick, you have a chance. But yeah, I think early in the game we kind of shot ourselves in the foot offensively. In a game like that against an opponent like that, you get behind the eight ball a little bit, down a couple scores, and it’s hard to climb back.”

On if he was able to diagnose what the issues were today with the run game: “I don’t know. I think we had to in some ways move on from it with the way the game was going. Maybe we stick with it if the game is in a little bit of a different place, it starts to pop, and then it’s a different story. I don’t know. But no, there’s nothing significant there.”

On if it is a hard pill to swallow that Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell said that they did not match the intensity of the Bills: “No, I think he’s right. He’s as good a head coach as there is in this league and he knows when things are right and he knows when things aren’t right and for whatever reason, they came out and kind of punched us in the mouth there early on and we kind of found a way to respond there later on. But still, it wasn’t enough and again, against a team like that, you can’t come out and allow them to do that early on and try to claw your way back. It’s too hard, it really is and that’s the games that we’re going to be playing from here on out, so yeah, maybe it’s a good wake-up call for us and a nice little recalibration for us and now we get to go on the road. We had some nice home games we just finished up, but now we get to go on the road. It’s us against everybody again and come together and be a bit tighter and move on.”

On if he can take appreciation from a test like this game late in the season: “Appreciation from the loss, I don’t know. I think that’s a dang good team and I think we’re a dang good team and they played really well and we didn’t, and that’s why the game was lopsided for most of the game and they’re the class of the NFL and we’d like to think we are too and they came out and played better than we did today.”
