Detroit Lions offensive tackle Taylor Decker had every reason to be emotional on camera during his postgame interview Sunday night. The Lions had just defeated the Los Angeles Rams, 24—23, to win their first playoff game in 32 years. Decker, the longest-tenured Lions player on the roster, couldn’t help but soak it in.
During his interview with NFL Network’s Bridget Condon, Decker started to tear up when talking about quarterback Jared Goff and the team’s success.
“[Goff] is special. Can’t say enough good things about him,” Decker told Condon. “I mean, he really deserves it. … Yeah, it’s just special for him.”
