Jared Goff or Peyton Manning? Football fans joke about Lions QB’s red forehead vs. Packers

Jared Goff channeled his inner Peyton Manning during the Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Well, cosmetically at least.

A FOX camera angle caught Goff with a  bright red forehead mark left by his helmet, leading to some on social media making a Peyton Manning comparison. Manning is known for having a rather large forehead, and the similarities are pretty hysterical:

Others on social media compared Goff, who attended Cal, to Marv from Home Alone when the hot Iron fell on his head.
