Lions QB Goff going home to face 49ers in NFC title game, hoping to lift franchise to 1st Super Bowl

Associated Press  

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Jared Goff is California cool, staying easy breezy in good times and bad. Outside of the Lions’ organization, Goff was viewed as a stopgap quarterback when he was acquired along with a pair of first-round picks and a third-round selection nearly three years ago for Matthew Stafford. He got in a groove during the 2022 season, lifting the team to eight wins over their final 10 games and stayed in it during much of Detroit’s breakthrough season in which the franchise won its first division title in three decades and ended an NFL record nine-game postseason losing streak that lasted 32 years. Even though the stakes are much higher than previous visits to San Francisco in the regular season with the Rams, it’s tough to tell by looking at or listening to Goff. “But I do think there’s a part of me that’s intentional about being consistent whether things are good or bad.” ___ Follow Larry Lage at https://twitter/larrylage ___ AP NFL coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
