Imagine if Zuerline missed that game winner and Saints went on to win. The narrative on Goff would be totally different. He'd be the scrappy kid who almost brought the Rams back in the second half with some clutch throws. A 24 year old with a bright future.
Because of the Superbowl, some view him now as questionable whether or not he should be extended. To them you're only as good as your last game. Unfortunately there were no more games to bounce back from after that one.
