A lost fumble. Three interceptions. Including one returned for a touchdown. Jared Goff had a nightmare Saturday night against the Commanders.
A disaster for which he did not shy away from responsibility at a press conference.
“ It's lame. This is the worst aspect of this job. You hate it when you feel like you've let your teammates down“, explained Jared Goff to the press after the match. “ Would we have won if I had played better? Possible. And that's what's going to bother me throughout the offseason. I'm still processing. Unfortunately, I'm going to have a few rough nights. »
“I wish I had an answer for you. It's just terrible. Yes, I wish I had played a little better. I wish I had taken better care of the ball. I wish I could do the action of the interception returned for a touchdown again, it was a very bad decision on my part. »
“It's my fault.” I need to take better care of the ball and I would have given us a better chance to win by doing that. »
Enough to draw a lesson as obvious as it is painful from this match.
“ It’s a humbling match. It's a humbling sport. »
Jared Goff broods, Dan Campbell cries
If Jared Goff was down, his coach even shed a few tears during his press briefing.
“It hurts to lose” Campbell explained, his voice shaking. “ […] It's for the gamers. Everything they do to get there. People don't know what they're going through. We have to get up. Your body is bruised. Stay focused and do it all. It’s a long season…”
“It's my fault“, concluded Campbell, very moved.
It's going to take Detroit a little time to digest all of this.
