HH. BREAKING: A violent touchdown spike left a reporter shaken — and a quarterback showed the kind of leadership you can’t coach.
Washington, D.C. – November 9, 2025
Right after the Detroit Lions’ 44–22 victory over the Washington Commanders, quarterback Jared Goff melted hearts during the postgame press conference with a deeply touching gesture toward a camerawoman who was accidentally injured during the game.
During the second quarter, Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. unintentionally struck camerawoman Emily Sanders with the ball while celebrating his touchdown. The impact knocked her down, and medical staff rushed to check on her — thankfully, she avoided serious injury and returned to work later in the game.

At the postgame press conference, Goff noticed Sanders among the reporters. He paused mid-answer, smiled warmly, and said:
“Hey, you’re the one who got hit today, right? You doing okay?”
The room fell silent for a moment before Goff surprised everyone by reaching into his bag and pulling out
a signed Lions jersey and game ball, which he personally handed to Sanders. Written on the ball was a heartfelt message:
“To Emily — your courage on the field inspires all of us. So glad you’re okay.”
The room erupted in applause. Sanders, visibly emotional, later shared the moment on social media, writing:
“Jared Goff stopped his press conference to check on me and gave me a signed jersey and football. Such a class act — I’ll never forget it.”
Fans across the NFL flooded the post with praise, calling Goff “a true leader with heart” and celebrating a moment that proved empathy can shine just as bright as victory.
