Following a thrilling comeback win in Houston, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff shared his thoughts on why his team stands out in the NFL. After the game, Goff had a straightforward message for head coach Dan Campbell: “We’re just different.”
Reflecting on the win, Goff explained what sets the Lions apart: “Every team is different, but I believe the adversity we’re built for is unlike any other team’s in the league,” Goff told Lions Lowdown. He highlighted how the Lions’ core group has faced distinct challenges, which has shaped a resilience not found in many other teams.
The Lions’ 26-23 win over the Houston Texans was a prime example of this resilience. Down 23-7 at halftime, the Lions faced a steep uphill battle, but Goff believed his team could overcome the situation. “There are many strong teams, but few have endured what this core group has,” he noted.
Goff’s confidence in his team’s resilience and comeback ability underscores the Lions’ changing mindset. “Any game like that (in Houston), where you dig a deep hole, knowing we’re built for those moments, is empowering,” he added.
For Goff and the Lions, this victory was more than just another win—it was a testament to their mental toughness and self-belief, proving that they are truly “different.”
