Jared Goff didn’t even want to hear the opinion.
During an appearance Tuesday on Detroit’s 97.1 The Ticket, the Lions quarterback stopped one of the hosts mid-question when asked about a recent Skip Bayless social media post dismissing the team’s chances of beating the 49ers in Sunday’s NFC Championship game.
“Does bulletin board material matter to you guys at all?” Goff was asked on “Karsch & Anderson.”
“Depends what it is. What do you got?” Goff replied.
“Skip Bayless, after your game, tweeted out the following…,” host Doug Karsch asked.
“No, I don’t care about anything he says. You can stop now,” Goff said while interrupting the host. “Anything those guys say on daytime TV, you can skip over that.”
While Bayless is a noted Cowboys fan, he still took a shot at the Lions on Sunday after they beat the Buccaneers, 31-23, in the divisional round.
“Congrats, Lions. You have won the right to get blown out at San Francisco. But hey, great year,” Bayless posted on X.
Teams sometimes rally around media members doubting them, but it appears the Lions have no use for the “Undisputed” host’s opinion.
Detroit has already defied the odds to get this far, with plenty of pundits predicting they would lose to the Rams in the wild-card round earlier this month.
The Lions escaped with a 24-23 win over their former quarterback Matthew Stafford, and their offense led the way in last Sunday’s home win.
Now, the Lions will face their toughest task of this postseason when they travel to Santa Clara, Calif., to face the top-seeded 49ers.
San Francisco is a seven-point favorite at FanDuel, the biggest spread among the two conference championship games.
The Lions and 49ers last met in the 2021 season, in what was Goff’s and head coach Dan Campbell’s first game with the franchise.
The 49ers came out on top in Detroit at the time, 41-33.
