Before Jared Goff went out for the final drive against the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions quarterbacks coach Mark Brunell gave him one not-so-simple command: “Go win this game for us.”

Goff’s reply: “Yes, sir.”

“That was it,” Brunell said Wednesday. “ ‘Go win this game for us,’ and he did that, which, it was fun. It was really a cool moment. I’ve been around a lot of big games and I can think back on some moments in my career where games really stand out, special games that you’ll remember forever. This one cracked my top 10.”
