Vikings’ Brian Flores Has Strong Words for Lions’ Jared Goff Before Week 8

Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores offered high praise for Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff ahead of their Week 8 divisional matchup. Speaking to the media on October 27, Flores described Goff as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, commending his command of the offense, presnap reads, and ability to recognize defensive schemes.

Flores noted that preparing for Goff and Detroit's skill players presents a significant challenge that has kept him awake at night. Meanwhile, former Vikings receiver Adam Thielen suggested that Flores might prefer remaining a top coordinator in Minnesota rather than pursuing head coaching vacancies due to pay, stability, and avoiding off-field stress.
