Jared Goff record in playoff games: Win-loss, results and stats
By Scott Rogust
Entering the 2023 season, the Detroit Lions had high expectations after they nearly made the playoffs the year prior. They showed that the hype was real in the season-opener when they defeated the defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. Sure enough, the Lions would cruise throughout the season as one of the top teams in the entire NFC. That led to the team clinching a playoff spot for the first time since 2016 and winning their first-ever NFC North Championship.
General manager Brad Holmes is credited for putting together the roster, and head coach Dan Campbell is getting the most out of them. One of the Lions' big gambles was trading away quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams and getting Jared Goff in return. Goff showed he was far from washed and actually improved his play in Detroit.
With the Lions' playoff run ongoing, what is Goff's record and stats in the postseason?
