While the Golden State Warriors are busy with NBA free agency, the NFL’s playoff picture is heating up at the end of week 10 of the season.
For the final game of the NFL slate, the Los Angeles Rams traveled to Raymond James Stadium for a Monday Night Football tilt against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
As the Rams were trying to break the 14-14 tie with 19 seconds remaining in the first half, quarterback Jared Goff stepped to the line of scrimmage and yelled out an audible that may sound familiar to fans of the Warriors.
Before snapping the football, Goff shouted “Curry! Curry! Curry!” to trigger an audible to a wide receiver screen. After catching the pass, Robert Woods scampered for 35 yards to set the Rams up in field goal position.

Although he didn’t include his first name in the audible, there’s a chance the play was a reference to the two-time Most Valuable Player. Although he plays in Los Angeles, the Rams signal-caller grew up in the North Bay Area and attended college at Cal Berkeley. In the past, Goff has admitted to being a fan of the Golden State Warriors.
While helping lead the Rams to a road victory, 27-24, Goff passed for 376 yards on 39-of-51 attempts with three touchdowns and two interceptions.
Goff isn’t the only quarterback to have NBA All-Stars in the audible playbook. During Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr called an audible at the line of scrimmage that included “James Harden.”
