Jared Goff Takes Full Blame After Loss – But Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Moment Is What Leaves Lions Fans Teary-Eyed

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — November 17, 2025

After the bitter 16-9 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Detroit Lions locker room fell into heavy silence. But the spotlight from media and fans quickly turned to quarterback Jared Goff — the superstar who played below expectations and made key mistakes that cost the Lions their chance to win. Without dodging, Goff stepped forward to face the press with disappointed but responsible eyes, delivering a message that choked up the entire Lions Nation.

Jared Goff abruptly cuts off question on Skip Bayless: 'Don't care about  anything he says.' ... "Anything those guys say on daytime TV, you can skip  over that." : r/nfl

In the press conference, Goff took complete responsibility for the loss. He did not blame the strong wind, the struggling offensive line, or the pressure from the Eagles’ defense. He only talked about himself. “We could have won if I threw better,” Goff said, his voice trembling slightly with disappointment. “There were plays I had to handle better, had to stay calmer, had to be more accurate… but I didn’t do it. I’m not blaming anyone else. It’s all on me. The team put their trust in me, and tonight I didn’t come through.” Those words rang with raw honesty, making fans feel the weight the QB was carrying.

The atmosphere in the locker room became even more emotional when Amon-Ra St. Brown, Goff’s closest teammate and the brightest star on the Lions, walked over to his side. As Goff bowed his head in disappointment, St. Brown placed a hand on his shoulder and pulled him into a warm, heartfelt hug. That simple yet powerful gesture spread like wildfire across social media. It was the image of belief — the belief the Lions players have in their leader, no matter the mistakes.

After the hug, St. Brown said quietly — just loud enough for the microphones to catch: “We fight together. Nobody in here is blaming you. You’re the one who got us here.” Though brief, those words gave Goff strength and left tens of thousands of fans teary-eyed. In defeat, the Lions still showed unity — the very spirit Dan Campbell always takes pride in — and that moment was the clearest proof.

As he left the press conference, Goff added one final sentence that Lions fans will remember for a long time: “I’ll come back stronger — not just for myself, but for all of Detroit.” And with the support from teammates like St. Brown, Lions Faithful have every reason to believe this loss is not the end, but just one chapter in the inspiring comeback story of the Motor City team.

Gates Open: 11:00 AM ET · Parking Lots: 9:00 AM ET Tickets: Still available via Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, or StubHub (get-in price starting ~$75) 🔑 KEY STORYLINES New Orleans Saints (4-6): Battling to stay alive in the NFC South after a tough 27-20 loss to the Falcons in Week 10, QB Jake Haener stepped up in relief (245 yards, 2 TD in Week 11 vs. Browns), but the offense ranks 22nd in PPG (19.8) amid Derek Carr's finger injury (questionable, could return). RB Alvin Kamara is a beast (950 rushing yards, 8 TD), with WR Chris Olave adding spark (850 receiving yards), but turnovers kill us (15 given away, worst in NFC). Defense is top-10 in sacks (28) but vulnerable vs. run (4.8 yards/carry allowed); injuries: LB Demario Davis (hamstring, day-to-day), DE Carl Granderson (biceps, IR). Home record: 2-2; we've won 3 of last 5 at the Dome, but need to crush this rivalry to build momentum. Atlanta Falcons (5-5): Tying for first in the NFC South after a gritty 27-20 divisional win over the Saints in Week 10, QB Kirk Cousins threw for 300+ yards last week but the run game sputtered (3.2 yards/carry). Offense ranks 12th in total yards (345/game), led by RB Bijan Robinson (900 rushing yards, 7 TD) and rookie WR Ladd McConkey (700 yards); defense is middling (18th success rate), leaky vs. pass (260+ yards allowed lately). Injuries: S Jessie Bates III (shoulder, questionable), EDGE Matthew Judon (elbow, out); road record: 2-3; they've covered 3-2 ATS away but struggle in NOLA (0-3 last 3 here). Head-to-Head: Falcons lead all-time 53-51 (26-24 in NOLA); last meeting: Falcons 27-20 win in Week 10 2025. ATL has won 4 of last 6, but series is always intense (average margin: 7.1 points); 3 playoff clashes (Saints 26-23 OT in 1991 Wild Card). ⚠️ SIGNIFICANCE OF THE GAME Saints (+3 favorites, O/U 47) aim to flip the script on our rivals and climb NFC South (72% win prob.); win pushes us to 5-6 and keeps wild-card dreams flickering (9th seed). Falcons (+135 ML) seek sweep for division lead; upset would crush our spirits. Spotlight on Kamara's revenge vs. ATL's front; experts lean NO but predict thriller (Over 7-3 in NO's last 10 homes). 📱 FOLLOW THE GAME Live Updates: Saints.com, Falcons.com, NFL App Social Media: @Saints · @AtlantaFalcons Highlights & Stats: NFL+ and the official team apps Who Dat faithful – ready to roar at the Dome and send the Falcons packing?
