If Fox drinks beer like Bobcat would if it was free for a year, Goff may need to negotiate a bigger contract.....
Why Lions QB Jared Goff had to buy a year supply of beer for one of his teammates
Jared Goff made a big bet with one of his teammates during the 2024 NFL season, and now he's in the process of paying that bet out after coming up on the losing end.During an episode of the Netflix series "Quarterback," Goff revealed that he made a bet with Lions punter Jack Fox before the season started. So what was the wager? Let's let Goff explain.
"I bet Jack Fox at the beginning of the year, I said, 'If you lead the league in net punting, I'll get you Bud Light for a year,'" Goff said. "And right after the [final] game, he's like, 'there it is, you owe it to me for a year.'"
Fox is one of the best punters in the NFL, but considering he had never led the league in net punting, Goff was probably confident that he would win the bet. As it turns out though, free beer ended up being quite the incentive for Fox, because not only did he win the bet, but he won it by pulling off one of the best punting seasons in NFL history.
The 28-year-old ended the season with a net punting average of 46.2 yards, which set the single-season record for highest net punting average in league history.
