Rams QB Jared Goff – Rams-Ravens Postgame Quotes – Nov. 25, 2019

(On the offense struggling again this week)

“I think the game dictated some things and we were unable to get going early. I think against a team like that, the margin for error is so small. Unfortunately, we had some errors early on and it bit us in the long run. I think we had to get out to a hot start and we didn’t. We came down the field – we actually moved the ball pretty well in those two drives and then finished in field goals with some crucial errors in the redzone. That’s what you can’t have – like I mentioned – against teams like this. We’re just going to keep fighting, keep going, keep fighting. I’ve said it before, I think we’ve got the right guys in this building. I know we’ve got the right guys in this building. Just got to keep fighting.”

(On how the team moves forward when looking at the playoff picture)

“We got Arizona next week and we’ve got to take it one game at a time. We obviously need some stuff to happen, but I don’t think it’s completely out of the realm of possibility at all. We’re still very much in it and just got to keep fighting.”

(On if people would be correct in thinking the Rams are far off the league’s elite teams like Ravens)

“I don’t know. It’s so hit or miss every week. You want to stay consistent, but I think this game just got away from us. That’s the best way to describe it. Got away from us and I think everyone on offense, defense, special teams would look at themselves and say, ‘We can be better.’ I’ve said this before, it starts with me. I can be better and I think like I mentioned, we let the game get away from us.”

(On if he can nail down why this season hasn’t been as smooth for him as last season was)

“There’s a multitude of reasons. Games have been dictated certain ways and then there’s been throws that I’ve missed and there’s been guys that we’ve done some bad things. It’s a million things. I really try not to look at the numbers because I know that’s misleading. There’s games where I look back on this year where I didn’t feel very good after and my numbers were good. There’s games that my numbers were not good and I felt good about how I played. I try not to let that dictate how I feel. I don’t know if I can nail down one thing for you – I think there’s a bunch of things.”

(On what he saw from Ravens QB Lamar Jackson)

“He’s (Ravens QB Lamar Jackson) a hell of a player. He’s a hell of a player and I wish him the best. I think he’s really proven a lot of people wrong and you always love to see that. I think his ability to obviously run is so special, but then how accurate he was. There’s no limit for that guy. He’s a great player.”

(On what needs to happen for the offense to get rolling consistently)

“A million things. I think there’s no one thing. It’s just be better consistently. I know that’s easy to say, but it’s the truth. We need to be better down-in and down-out and not kill ourselves with little mistakes, penalties. I can distribute the ball better, we can do different things in the run game. There’s a million things. There’s not one thing and I think you just have to focus every single day on getting better, trusting the people around you and just do your best.”

(On Ravens CB Marcus Peters record an interception in the game)

“He’s a great player. I love (Ravens CB) Marcus (Peters), he’s one of my favorite guys I’ve played with and he made a great play. He made a great play and he’s known for that. I tip my cap to him, he made a great play. Their whole defense had a tremendous day.”

(On not letting Monday’s game carry over into preparation for Week 13 against Arizona)

“Come in tomorrow, watch the film and move on, like we do if we had won this game by 40 points. Nothing changes and I know we tend to think that we’re going to dwell on this or, ‘How is this going to affect our season or anything?’ But, as a team, as an organization, we truly treat every win and loss the same way. Obviously, this one’s going to hurt. The way it went is never good – we got beat pretty good. We’ll treat it the same way and come back tomorrow with the same attitude and keep fighting. That’s all we can do.”
