The highly anticipated season two of ‘Quarterback’ has finally been aired on Netflix.
This season sees the Netflix crews follow around Joe Burrow and Jared Goff, as well as season one returnee, Kirk Cousins, who made the switch in-between the two series’ from the Minnesota Vikings to the Atlanta Falcons.
Goff is one of three NFL quarterbacks in season 2 of the Netflix show.GettyIn episode three entitled ‘Beautiful Minds’, there is a particular focus on Detroit Lions star quarterback Goff.
In Week 6 the Lions dominantly dismantled the Dallas Cowboys winning by a margin of 47-9.
In that contest, Goff had a particularly impressive outing, completing 18 of his 25 pass attempts, throwing for 315 total yards, and three touchdowns.
Four members of the Lions’ receiving corps had more than 50 yards on the game, including wide receiver Jameson Williams who had 76 yards from three receptions and a touchdown.
The backfield of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs was also firing on all cylinders as the one-two punch duo combined for 143 rushing yards off of just 24 carries and scoring touchdowns.
NFL analyst Tom Brady, who was in the middle of his debut season in the booth for Fox Sports, was covering the contest between the two NFC heavyweights.
Upon seeing the offense that then-offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was dialling up, Brady expressed how he would have loved to play in that system.
“When I look at this offense, this offense reminds me of what great offense should be in the NFL,” Brady told Kevin Burkhardt on the broadcast.
“I’d love to be the quarterback in this offense. It’s so much fun.”
Netflix presented Goff with this clip, to which he bluntly – but cheekily – replied: “Yeah. Too bad, Tom. You’re retired.”

“I appreciate Tom saying that, but Tom, you stay in the booth. You can keep calling games, and it’s been fun.”
A seven-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 47-year-old Brady took on a broadcasting role with Fox Sports in 2024, signing a 10-year, $375 million contract, making him the highest paid sports commentator in history.
His lucrative deal drew some criticism– albeit jokingly – from his colleagues, including four-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Terry Bradshaw, who has been with FOX NFL Sunday since 1994.
Bradshaw is estimated to earn two million a year, a $35 million disparity between him and Brady.

For example, he is not allowed to attend broadcast production meetings, nor have any access to team facilities, coaches or players.
Furthermore, he is not allowed to publicly criticize any game officials or other teams, making his job as a commentator/analyst just that much more difficult.
For Goff, he was considered by many early on in the 2024 campaign to be one of the front-runners for the coveted Most Valuable Player award.
Following the Lions’ narrow 31-29 win over the then-undefeated Vikings, in which Goff was highly efficient completing 22 of his 25 pass attempts for 280 yards and two touchdowns, he drew some high praise from former Patriots linebacker, Tedy Bruschi.
“Jared Goff is the best quarterback in the league right now,” Bruschi said.
“This guy is the leader in the clubhouse for MVP.”
Bradshaw even likened what he saw of Goff to that of arguably the greatest quarterback in NFL history.
“The first thing that came to my mind when they [Lions] got the ball back to go down and kick the winning field goal was that this kind of reminds me, a little bit, of our guy Tom Brady,” Bradshaw said post-game.
Though Goff’s play petered out a bit as the season went on, under head coach Dan Campbell he has helped bring winning back to the Motor City, since his emotional trade from the Los Angeles Rams back in 2021.
Having now reached the NFC Championship Game and Divisional Round in the last two seasons, Goff will no doubt have his eyes fixed on finally leading Detroit to their first ever Super Bowl appearance in franchise history.
After all, he has shown he has the arm caliber to do so.
