They’re both young QBs that have the potential to light the league on fire in the coming years. And last night at the ESPYs, their rivalry got a little bit of a attention shined in its direction. The Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs were honored with the Best Game Award at the ESPYs. My boy Goff and Patrick Mahomes stepped up to the microphone and did some awkward yet charming banter. This speech was obviously written and rehearsed and was wooden because... well, football players are football players and not actors. Were either QBs effective in their effort to play as charismatic on camera? Well, they read their copy and that’s all they really needed to do — mission accomplished if you ask me. The classic MNF game between the Rams and the Chiefs is already legend, but it’s always nice to get some hardware out of it. This rivalry could end up being a Super Bowl matchup in the future, so the Rams can at least hang their hat on the fact that they drew first blood. THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Although Jared Goff is uncomfortable being overly nosy when he’s around the NFL’s best quarterbacks

Goff wants to know how they prepare, and he seeks out tips on film study, game-morning arm exercises — anything he can put into his own evolving approach to the game.“The thing about Jared is that he’s always looking to get better

While McVay clearly deserves much of the credit for Goff’s swift evolution from a struggling No. 1 overall pick into an above-average NFL passer, Goff’s adaptability and eagerness to learn are just as important as his arm strength.“I think I rely on a lot of the successes I’ve had, and understand that I didn’t do that on accident,” Goff said. “It’s part of my process, and part of what I do routinely.”The same quarterback who went 0-7 as a rookie starter while getting sacked 26 times is now a two-time Pro Bowl selection at the helm of an elite NFL offense. The Rams have won their first back-to-back division titles since the 1970s during his two full seasons as their starter, and they earned their first playoff victory in 14 years last weekend.“You talk about a guy who stays even-keeled,” Rams receiver Brandin Cooks said. “He operates with such a quieted mind, no matter what’s going on. The ebbs and flows of the game, he seems to stay even-keeled

Brees and Brady have accomplished nearly everything possible behind center, while Patrick Mahomes just completed a spectacular season that has left him the league MVP favorite.Brees was happy to speak with Goff at last year’s Pro Bowl even while knowing they were likely to be rivals atop the NFC for the next few seasons. Brees remembered Doug Flutie’s willingness to mentor him in San Diego.“I want to make sure that I pay it forward, just like those guys did with me,” the 40-year-old Brees said.Brees praises Goff as an outstanding passer and an emerging leader. He also sees intricacies to Goff’s performances that others might not.“You watch what they do with their offense, there’s a lot of moving parts, and I think he handles it very, very well

Yet his season arguably peaked with his 413 yards and four TD passes in the Rams’ epic Monday night victory over Kansas City in late November, leading into a December in which he didn’t exactly distinguish himself.In the Rams’ final five regular-season games, Goff averaged just 228.2 yards per game with six TD passes against six interceptions and nine sacks. The Rams took two of their three losses all season during that stretch, with Goff memorably throwing four interceptions in the freezing cold of Chicago.“It was a bad game or two, and I hate having to talk about it,” Goff said. “But if (reporters) keep asking about it, you can call it three (bad games) if you want. If you’re going to (criticize) three out of 16

But he really didn’t fall off at all. I think it was just some of those things that bounced one way or the other, and then defensive guys made some good plays.”NOTES: After two days of intermittent heavy rains, the Rams practiced under 64-degree sunshine at their training complex. … The Rams won’t leave for New Orleans until Saturday. McVay said he made the decision to keep the Rams on a particular schedule for a game kicking off at 12 p.m. Pacific time. … The Rams’ injury report was completely empty for the third straight day.
