Ben Johnson, the former Lions offensive coordinator now coaching the Chicago Bears, actually called Jared Goff after making a joke about his former quarterback’s mobility. Johnson told reporters he’s used to calling plays for “not so mobile” quarterbacks, a clear shot at Goff. But apparently, Johnson felt so much remorse that he had to call and smooth things over with his ex-signal-caller.
Goff Laughs Off The “Remorse” Call
On the St. Brown Podcast, Goff was all smiles talking about it, totally shrugging off the whole thing. “Ben can’t seem to get out of his own way when talking to the media, so I know there was no ill intent behind that,” Goff said. It sounds like Goff knows Johnson’s media gaffes are just part of his personality, not actual shade. He then spilled the tea on the apology call itself. “It’s funny, he called me this morning and was like, ‘Dude, you know that means nothing.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, dude, you’re good. Don’t worry about it.’” Seriously, Goff isn’t even sweating it.
Week 12 is Going to Be Wild
It’s clear Goff isn’t letting a little jab get under his skin, even if Johnson clearly felt bad enough to make an apology call. The Lions and Johnson’s Bears aren’t set to clash until Week 12 this season, leaving plenty of time for more “friendly fire” to fly back and forth before that game. Get ready for a lot of talk leading up to that matchup, because if this is the start, that Week 12 game is going to have some serious bulletin board material flying around.
