             CONGRATULATING DETROIT LIONS AND QB JARED GOFF

  (Mr. LEVIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, as a proud southern Californian, I rise to 
congratulate my good friend, Representative Kildee from Michigan, on 
the hard-fought victory last Sunday by his beloved Detroit Lions 
against the Los Angeles Rams, 24-23.
  Before the game, I had agreed with Representative Kildee that should 
the Lions beat the Rams, I would be happy to publicly congratulate the 
good people of Michigan, who have been waiting more than three decades 
for a Lions playoff win, as well as Lions starting quarterback Jared 
Goff, who is a product, I might add, of the University of California, 
where he played from 2013 to 2015.
  After his college career, Goff was then drafted by the Rams with the 
first overall pick in 2016, after which he took us to the Super Bowl in 
2018.
  While it pains me that Representative Kildee is not here praising 
Rams quarterback and 2021 Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford right 
now, I genuinely wish Goff, the Lions, and all of my friends in 
Michigan great success in the weeks ahead.
