LOS ANGELES — Shortly after the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, to the apparent surprise of coach Sean McVay, quarterback Jared Goff entered the team’s X-ray room.
“Are you OK?” the Rams coach asked as he prepared to hold his postgame news conference in an adjacent room.
Goff deadpanned: “Yeah. You OK?”
A source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that he doesn’t “think Goff will miss any time.”
Goff completed 19 of 35 passes for 295 yards and three touchdowns in the come-from-behind, 29-27 victory over the Packers. He also was sacked five times for the second time in three weeks.
“He took some shots. It was a physical game,” McVay said. “But I think he’s going to be good. I think no different than any other week where, physical football game, playing the quarterback position, sat in there, kept his eyes downfield, took some shots after he delivered the football …
“I’m sure he’ll be sore tomorrow, but I don’t think it’s going to be anything that’s going to prevent him from being able to go this week.”
The Rams (8-0) will face Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in New Orleans.
