'He wants to punch himself in the face sometimes': Jared Goff frustrated, but Lions not worried

Jared Goff, the starting quarterback for the Detroit Lions, had a challenging game against the Chicago Bears, throwing three interceptions and almost throwing two more. Despite his frustration with himself, the Lions are not worried about his performance. Lions head coach Dan Campbell described Goff as someone who can be hard on himself and "wants to punch himself in the face sometimes." However, Campbell praised Goff's mental and physical toughness and his ability to settle down and lead two touchdown drives in the closing minutes of the game, ultimately securing a win for the Lions. Goff acknowledged that his performance was not up to his personal standards and expressed gratitude that he will have the opportunity to play again soon and redeem himself. The quarterback's ability to rebound from mistakes within games has been notable this season, often leading the Lions on a touchdown drive immediately after a turnover. As the Lions face the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving, Goff will be looking to bounce back from his recent performance and lead his team to victory.
