Jeffrey Becker-Imagn Images Terry Bradshaw gave Jared Goff the highest compliment you can give an NFL quarterback. Jared Goff is in the midst of quite possibly the best ever string of games for a Detroit Lions quarterback, and everyone is starting to notice. In the aftermath of the Lions’ comeback victory over the Minnesota Vikings, FOX TV analyst and Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw gave Goff quite possibly the best compliment you could give a quarterback. “The first thing that came to my mind, actually, when they got the ball back to go down and kick the game-winning field goal was that, ‘God, this guy reminds me a little bit of our guy Tom Brady,’” Bradshaw said in the post-game show, before jumping into a story. “Someone here said, ‘Lions are going to go down, Goff’s going to take them right down. They’re going to score.’ And I remember standing on the sidelines down in Houston when Tom led them down and Howie (Long) was a mess, and I said, ‘Never worry! This ball’s in the hands of the best hands it could possibly be in with Tom Brady.’ When you can trust a quarterback who has consistently brought your team from behind—in the fourth quarter especially—that’s rarified air right there.” As pointed out by the FOX broadcast, Goff already has 10 game-winning drives for the Lions, now only trailing Matthew Stafford for the franchise lead. While any comparison to Brady—particularly when you have seven fewer rings than him—tends to ring hollow and overly-reactionary, it’s impossible to deny that what Goff is doing right now is pretty damn special. In fact, the only NFL quarterback with a four-game stretch like Goff is currently on is... well...
