Jared Goff Calls Out Ryan Fitzpatrick For 'Poor Man's Matt Ryan' Comment

Jared Goff kept the receipts.

After Thursday night's 34-20 win over the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions quarterback fired back at Ryan Fitzpatrick, who had called him a "poor man's Matt Ryan" before the game.

"I thought I played better throughout the rest of the game," Goff said on Amazon Prime's postgame show. "I hope it's up to your standards.

"I didn't know it was a poor man's anything, but, I heard about it."

No one expected super-nice-guy Jared Goff to clap back like that, which is why the whole crew erupted in laughter.

In the words of Richard Sherman, "SPICY!"

Fitzpatrick tried to pin the "poor man" comment on co-host Andrew Whitworth, but Whitworth wasn't having it.

"I didn't do it!" Whitworth said. "It wasn't me!"

But don't worry — everyone's having fun!

"Matt Ryan is a pretty good player too," Fitzpatrick said.

"He's a hell of a player," Goff said. "I'm giving you a hard time. I appreciate it man."

With Thursday's win, the Lions advance to 3-1 and lead the NFC North. Goff finished the game 19-of-28 for 210 yards, a touchdown, an interception and passer rating of 86.9.

Goff was traded to Detroit from the Los Angeles Rams in 2021.

Now, the three-time Pro Bowler has a chance to secure a long-term future as the Lions' QB1. He's looking to top a 2022 campaign in which he had the league's fifth-best QB rating (61.1). He threw for 4,438 yards and 29 touchdowns, while also setting a franchise record for the most consecutive passes without an interception (324).

"Can I do it again? I'd like to do better," Goff told ESPN over the summer.

So far so good for the poor man's Matt Ryan.
