DETROIT -- Loud chants of "Ja-red GOFF!" roared throughout Ford Field from the second the Detroit Lions spurted out of the tunnel ahead of Sunday's NFC wild-card showdown.

Matched up against his former Los Angeles Rams team and Matthew Stafford -- the player he was traded for in 2021 -- Goff got his revenge in leading the Lions to their first playoff victory in 32 years and nine days.

"I kind of had to subdue a lot of emotions this week and was able to kind of enjoy that moment," Goff said after the 24-23 victory, which ended the longest active drought in the NFL without a playoff win.
