VIDEO: Jared Goff's Reaction Makes it Clear He's Having Trouble Hearing in Cleveland
By Chris Pyo
Jared Goff and the Los Angeles Rams have gotten off to a slow start in their Sunday Night Football matchup with the Cleveland Browns, as they managed to only score three points in a quarter and a half. Goff's excuse? Apparently, he can't hear Sean McVay through his helmet, which speaks to the ferocity of the Cleveland crowd...or a mechanical issue. Little of both, perhaps?

It's essential to establish a clear line of communication between a quarterback and head coach, and technology is supposed to assist with that, not prevent it.
Hopefully the Rams' technicians can solve this helmet problem for Goff, but if he continues to keep on missing Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods on easy passes, we can expect Goff to come up with an excuse regarding his helmet.
