Aidan Hutchinson Top PFF-Graded Detroit Lion Week 14
The Detroit Lions do have the benefit of having a player on their roster who has played in big games in his career.
Jared Goff, who many believe is playing the best football of his career, can draw upon past experiences in order to lead a young roster in the midst of a playoff push.
“Yeah, we’ve got a lot of guys like that, though. But, yes, I think sure. If it comes down to the wire and we need one or two at the end, absolutely. But, we’ve got a lot of guys who have experience there, and know what they’re doing," said Goff, after the Lions' victory against the Vikings at Ford Field. "And, I don’t think there’s anything I can say or do that’s going to make guys realize how big the moment is. I think it’s each game counts the same, and how do we come back on Wednesday this week and reload and get ready for the Jets, and try to beat them and do it again for three more weeks after that. But, yeah, do my best as a leader and a quarterback, and that’s about it.”
