Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is having a big week. The biggest week of his entire life. He became a father when he and his wife, Christen, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Romy.

Congratulations to the Goff family are in order.

This prompted me to take a look at the correlation between girl dads and Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks. What I found was that girl dads are bringing home the Lombardi trophy a lot. Take a look.

Super bowl winining quarterback	Girl dad?
Jalen Hurts	No kids
Patrick Mahomes	Two daughters
Patrick Mahomes	Two daughters
Matthew Stafford	Four daughters
Tom Brady	One daughter
Patrick Mahomes	Two daughters
Tom Brady	One daughter
Nick Foles	One daughter
Tom Brady	One daughter
Peyton Manning	One daughter

There you go. Unless you're Jalen Hurts, the ticket to the Super Bowl is having a daughter. That surely means Jared Goff and the Lions will soon have their day. Goff is clearly thinking about both family and strategy at the same time. What a genius.

We're having fun here. In all seriousness, congrats again to the Goff family.
