Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff might be one of the calmest guys in the NFL — but this week, he showed he’s got a savage side too.
Following the Lions’ dominant win over the Commanders, Goff couldn’t resist firing back at ESPN analyst Louis Riddick, who had been openly critical of Detroit’s offense earlier this season. When asked about his team’s rhythm and execution, Goff smirked before slyly referencing Riddick’s comments — a subtle but clear troll that sent fans into laughter online.
But Goff didn’t stop there. He also called out a Commanders defender who had been talking trash all game, saying that the Lions “did their talking with the scoreboard.” That line alone had social media buzzing, with fans praising Goff for clapping back without even raising his voice.
It’s not often you see Goff take shots, but when he does, he does it with precision — just like his throws. The veteran QB has his team rolling, his confidence sky-high, and apparently, his clapbacks fully loaded.
