Christen Harper Goff, the wife of Detroit Lions star quarterback Jared Goff, is repping her hubby with some custom accessories for the NFL Playoffs.
After being shown on camera going through an unorthodox pre-kick routine during Sunday’s wild-card win over the Buccaneers, Gonzalez became the subject of jokes on social media — and even a few quips were made by the NBC broadcast — after he doinked in a game-winning field goal in the 23-20 triumph.
Zane Gonzalez's doink off the upright and in sent the Commanders to the divisional round. Here's how it looked and sounded.
Gonzalez's 37-yard field goal propelled the Commanders past the Buccaneers and into the Divisional Round against the Lions.
Despite his unusual pre-kick routine—later revealed to be influenced by his battle with OCD—Gonzalez was flawless on the night, converting all three field goal attempts, including a long of 52 yards. On the season, he has been remarkably consistent, going 23-for-25.
The Lions and Commanders are facing off in what could be a high-scoring playoff game. Here's who to bet on in the contest, including David Montgomery.

"I, above everybody else, realize how crazy it looks doing it. I’m aware. But at the same time, you can’t help it,” Gonzalez said
Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez was just another replacement before sending his team to the divisional round of the playoffs with his game-winning heroics against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
