NFL – Lions coach Dan Campbell focuses on strong offense rather than struggling defense
Coach Dan Campbell knows his defense needs to start playing if the Detroit Lions are to threaten to win their first playoff game since the 1990s. On Monday, however, he focused on Detroit’s success on the other side of the ball. The Lions’ offense didn’t slow down after the bye, racking up 533 yards in a 41-38 road win over the Los Angeles Chargers. In their last two games, including a 26-14 victory on October 30, Detroit has accumulated 1,019 yards, including 422 on the ground. Campbell focused his praise on his offensive line. In games against the Raiders and Chargers, they allowed one sack while opening holes for Jahmyr Gibbs and, in Los Angeles, the returning David Montgomery. Montgomery’s return allowed Campbell and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to diversify the offense. He gives them power averaging 4.7 yards per carry, while Gibbs provides outside speed and a significant receiving threat.
