Detroit Lions  quarterback Jared Goff : “We’re designed for responding.” After falling behind 10-0, Detroit lost late again, 29-28. Score at the end: 31–29. 

Jared Goff, the quarterbac for the Detroit Lions, summed up his team’s mentality after another hard-fought game: “We’re designed for responding.” This statement came after the Lions fell behind 10-0 early in the game, showing resilience once again but ultimately losing in heartbreaking fashion, 29-28. Despite the slow start, Detroit demonstrated their ability to fight back, taking the lead late in the game.

As has been a pattern for the Lions this season, the game didn’t go their way in the final moments. With just seconds left, their opponent made a last-second play to secure the 31-29 victory, leaving the Lions just shy of victory. It was another painful loss in what has been a series of close games for Detroit, where they’ve often found themselves on the wrong side of the scoreboard despite competing hard until the final whistle.

Goff’s words reflect the identity of this Lions team under head coach Dan Campbell. They have become known for their never-say-die attitude, battling through adversity time and again. Yet, as much as they have shown the ability to respond, the narrow losses have been tough to swallow. In this particular game, Goff played well, leading several key drives that brought the team back into contention, but ultimately it wasn’t enough.

This loss adds another chapter to Detroit’s season of ups and downs, where close games have often gone against them. However, with Goff’s leadership and the team’s persistent spirit, the Lions remain focused on improving
