Rams OC: Jared Goff and Matt Ryan alike in ability, perseverance

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Jared Goff got a lot of comparisons to Matt Ryan coming out of Cal, and Matt LaFleur has worked closely with both of them. LaFleur, in his first year as the Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator, spent the previous two seasons as the Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks coach and eventually guided Ryan to an MVP.

Goff and Ryan, who will face off in Saturday's wild-card playoff game from Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, are both "really talented throwers," LaFleur said.

They're also in completely different stages of their careers.
