Jared turned out to be a lucky charm for the Los Angeles Rams, leading the team to its first winning season in 14 years, first playoff appearance in 13 years in just his rookie year, and then in 2018, he further led the team’s to Super Bowl LIII - its first appearance in a Super Bowl since 2001.
However, since missing the playoffs in 2019, the Rams benched Goff for the 2020 playoffs, eventually trading him to the Detroit Lions for Matthew Stafford in January 2021. The reason for this may have been Goff’s steadily declining stats over the years.
