Following the game, the quarterback appeared on the Amazon postgame program and spoke with Ryan Fitzpatrick, one of the show’s experts. Before the game, Goff heard Fitzpatrick call him a “poor man’s Matt Ryan” and fired a jab at the former quarterback.
“I thought I played better throughout the rest of the game,” Goff stated on Prime’s postgame broadcast. “I hope it’s up to your standards.
“I didn’t know it was a poor man’s anything, but, I heard that.”

The NFL on Prime crew burst out laughing at that point.
“Spicy!” Richard Sherman — the former NFL cornerback, who joined Amazon as an analyst in June 2022 — said while slapping the desk.
Fitzpatrick, who was a quarterback for 17 years before joining Prime as an analyst, then mentioned former lineman Andrew Whitworth.
“I didn’t do it!” Whitworth fired back. “It wasn’t me!”

But it was all in good humor.
“Matt Ryan is a pretty good player too,” Fitzpatrick said, to which Goff agreed.
“He’s a hell of a player,” remarked Goff. “I’m giving you a hard time, I appreciate it man.”
The discussion finished on a positive note, with the entire group laughing together.
