What the heck happened to Jared Goff?

Two years ago from this exact date, the Los Angeles Rams were a couple days from facing off against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 53. The Rams were being heralded as the new dynasty in town with a high-powered offense that no one could stop. Leading the charge were two young studs: 33-year-old head coach Sean McVay and 24-year-old quarterback Jared Goff.

Goff had been named a Pro Bowler in two of his first three seasons and was putting up eye-popping numbers. Across 2017 and 2018, only two quarterbacks had a higher yards per attempt (Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson), and only three had thrown more touchdown passes (Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady).
