Lions at Rams: Jared Goff says “of course you have the chip on your shoulder” when it comes to facing his former team, but he arrives in Los Angeles with an 0-6 squad. On the other side of the field will stand Matthew Stafford, whose Lions did him the favor of sending him to a legit contender. Still, feelings are raw and Coach Sean McVay admitted last week that he wished there had been “better, clearer communications.” Not that Goff has much ammo for revenge. He is struggling, and the Lions looked lifeless in a loss last week to the Bengals. Even Coach Dan Campbell admitted, “I feel like [Goff] needs to step up more than he has.” It’s a sad situation, but don’t expect Stafford and the Rams to show any mercy, especially if they’re ahead at halftime. They’re 39-0 under McVay with a halftime lead, and Cooper Kupp is thriving, compiling 46 receptions for 653 yards and seven touchdowns.
