In fact, the Lions’s admirers, who are over 2 million worldwide, want Jared Goff to lead his team to win their first Super Bowl this time. And this list includes a young, hospitalized fan.
Trevor, a little fan of the Lions and Jared Goff, showed his love for them from the hospital bed. In a shared video by a YouTube channel, “Stellar Stills Media,” this little boy could be seen lying on a hospital bed with IV Fluid attached to his body.
Usually, in this case, children seem to fear or get anxious. But not with Trevor! After his wrist surgery, this little fan chanted “Jared Goff,” “Jared Goff,” continuously under anesthesia, while lying on the bed.

Jared Goff couldn’t hold back his emotions after the Lions beat the Vikings in the wildcard. Twice during the post-game interview, he had to pause, swallowing the lump in his throat.

Through his cracked voice filled with emotions, he expressed, “I love these guys. You’re gonna make me emotional, but I love these people, man, they love me, and I’ve found a new home here. It’s been a lot of fun.”

No doubt, Jared Goff’s journey has been tumultuous in the NFL. Earlier he was traded by the Rams in 2021 and then during his Lions’s first year, the QB struggled with 9 wins and 8 losses. It seemed like he might not recover. But he did! Goff fought back, leading the team to their first playoff win in over 30 years. And now that he is so close to the Super Bowl, fans are showering their love and faith for him and the Lions.
The next game in the playoffs is against the Commanders. If we look at the history, Washington is 3-0 against the California player’s team in the playoffs. Hence, it remains to be seen who wins this time now!
