Currently boasting a 7-2 record and holding the top spot in the NFC North, the Lions showcased their prowess in a shootout victory against the Chargers on Sunday. Campbell’s daring calls, including four successful conversions on fourth down, played a pivotal role in the win.
The nerve-wracking decisions to go for it on those crucial plays had fans anxiously holding their breath. When Campbell discussed his aggressive mindset in a radio interview on Tuesday, he playfully suggested that fans might want to have disposable undergarments at the ready to cope with the intensity.
“I had a feeling going into that game that we needed to be aggressive, and I loved our matchup offensively, and I just knew our guys would respond…
Here’s what I would say—because I tell my family this—just wear a diaper before some of these games. I’ll give them an alert and say, ‘Put them on and be ready to roll.’”
There were legitimate concerns about the decision to replace Matt Patricia with Dan Campbell before the 2021 NFL season, especially considering Campbell’s debut season as an NFL head coach resulted in a 3-13 record for the Detroit Lions.
However, it was challenging not to rally behind Campbell, a true Football Guy who famously pledged to “bite off kneecaps” during his introductory press conference. The Lions seemed to be on the right path after finishing the 2022 season with a respectable 9-8 record.
The NFL experiences a boost when teams like the Lions perform at a high level, and Dan Campbell’s strategies appear to be yielding positive results this season.
