Jared Goff didn’t exactly have a stellar performance against the Cowboys, throwing an interception and gaining only 284 yards passing on 51 attempts. He and the Rams offense got nothing going until late in the game, which is when they scored 14 of their 21 points.
The final score of 44-21 doesn’t accurately portray how lopsided the game was, because the Cowboys controlled every aspect of it from start to finish. Goff was under pressure often and got no help from the running game, which led to an underwhelming showing at AT&T Stadium.
Sean McVay revealed after the loss that Goff injured his hand early in the game, but it doesn’t seem to be a concern. He was never pulled from the game and insisted afterwards that he’s OK.
“I saw him just continue to compete,” McVay said of how Goff played. “Got his hand banged up and just as a gutsy competitor, remained out there with his teammates finding a way even though – I’m always interested in how we continue to compete, even when the game was out of hand, just to see guys just continue to battle, have some pride about it. I thought Jared did a nice job.”
McVay didn’t know which specific play the injury happened on, but said “he did it earlier in the game.”
When asked how his hand was feeling, Goff simply said “my hand is fine,” indicating it’s no big deal and won’t keep him off the field moving forward.
