Dan Campbell Owns Detroit Lions Subpar Performance
This past Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens handed Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions a stunning defeat. The Ravens triumphed on both sides of the ball, and while Detroit had looked like one of the league’s finest teams throughout the first six weeks of the season, at times it appeared helpless. The 38-6 defeat was the third-year coach’s fault. Although there was much to criticize about the movie, the review also gave the team a chance to improve and learn from their missteps.
Detroit has a Monday Night Football game against the Las Vegas Raiders coming up, so it needs to get over its loss and get back to playing at its best quickly. In his statement from Monday, Campbell remained unwavering: the team will be ready to bounce back next week.
We’ve got to. I think back to that: it’s unfortunate to lose, but you shouldn’t waste it. There’s a lot to learn from it, and it’s here,” Campbell said on Monday. “I am motivated by my own irritation and rage, that much is certain. We will be prepared for this game because, with our guys, I’m fairly sure it does. We’ll be prepared. We’ll be mentally and physically prepared for this game.” Early on in his stint with Detroit, the coach was a part of some heartbreaking losses. His teams are well known for their ability to recover and engage in intense competition.
He will have another chance to demonstrate his abilities next week as the Lions attempt to play to their high caliber once more. “I just know me and I know these coaches and I know these players,” Campbell said. There are a lot of players here who are proud. I have no doubts that we will be prepared.”
Regarding Kerby Joseph and Mohamed Ibrahim, who sustained injuries in the second half of Sunday’s defeat, Campbell gave updates. In the fourth quarter, Joseph took a blow to the helmet and was checked for a concussion. It was okay for him to go back.
Ibrahim, on the other hand, left Baltimore to have surgery to realign his dislocated hip and returned to Detroit on Monday. He got hurt while trying to return a kick. The Minnesota native was called up to the practice squad because other Lions running backs had sustained injuries in the past. “It’ll be a while” before Campbell can go back into the game, he said.
Marvin Jones, a wide receiver, is still questionable to play after missing Sunday’s game due to a personal issue. “It’s difficult to comment at this time,” Campbell said. It’s a personal matter, that’s all I can say. That’s not a major situation; that’s just how things stand at the moment.
