The "Next Man Up" philosophy isn't a cliché in Allen Park; it's a way of life. The resilience shown by this squad—coming back from the refs, the injuries, and the history of the franchise—has installed a permanent backbone in this team.
We have a franchise quarterback in Jared Goff who proved every doubter wrong, silencing the "Baker Mayfield comparison" crowd with elite precision and leadership. We have the best running back tandem in the league in Gibbs and Montgomery. We have Amon-Ra St. Brown, who plays with a chip on his shoulder the size of a boulder.
