In the heat of the NFL playoffs, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has demonstrated a laser focus on his team’s pursuit of their first-ever Super Bowl.
With his brilliant 2023 season, Goff has silenced his doubters as seems to have completely reinvented and rejuvenized his career.
Their enormous Divisional Round playoff win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a massive step in their journey … But leave it to FS1 personality Skip Bayless to rain on their parade.
“Congrats, Lions. You have won the right to get blown out at San Francisco. But hey, great year,” Bayless tweeted on X.
Congrats, Lions. You have won the right to get blown out at San Francisco. But hey, great year.

Addressing the matter during an appearance on 97.1 The Ticket, Goff made it abundantly clear that he has little interest in such commentary, especially from the likes of Bayless.
“Nah, I don’t care about anything he says,” Goff responded when host Doug Karsch brought up Bayless’ tweet. “You can stop now. Anything those guys say on daytime TV, you can skip over that.”

Goff, displaying his wit, delivered a no-nonsense response, indicating his determination to remain unfazed by external criticism.
I love him even more now

The seasoned veteran, who led the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl appearance five years ago, now finds himself on the cusp of guiding the Detroit Lions to their first-ever Super Bowl berth.
Jared Goff continues to be accurate

Will the Lions beat the 49ers on Sunday?
Or do you agree with Bayless that Detroit is taking the long flight out west only to get spanked?
What’s your prediction for the game???
