Jared Goff throws 1st professional touchdown in 21-20 win Saturday

With the NFL season less than a month away and the league’s preseason really under way, former Cal star Jared Goff’s hunt for the starting job is getting ever more heated. Many assume the Los Angeles Rams’ head coach Jeff Fisher will eventually give Goff, the first pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the starting job. But Goff is not being handed the job, as he came off the bench for the second consecutive game Saturday.

Goff’s second professional game, a preseason game for the Rams against the Kansas City Chiefs, started much like the first did.

Goff’s first pass of the day was dropped while he turned the ball over on his second dropback of the game.
