Aside from Detroit Lions fans, it's hard to find a bigger supporter of the team's quarterback Jared Goff than its own coach, Dan Campbell. In fact, just a week ago, Campbell was challenging anyone who would listen to find a signal-caller in the NFL who is playing better than Goff at the moment.

Lions coach Dan Campbell challenged the media to find a quarterback who is playing better than Jared Goff after winning on MNF.

Goff threw for 303 yards and three touchdowns on 26-for-34 passing as he heard his name chanted on the road. The Cal product, who hails from the Bay Area, helped Detroit to their 14th win of the year in a rematch of last season's NFC Championship Game where the 49ers beat the Lions on the same field.

The fans in Detroit have embraced the California kid as one of their own, especially after Goff delivered the Lions’ first playoff win in more than 30 years.
