Dan Campbell issues strong warning to the rest of the NFL about one of Jared Goff’s key weapons

Just last weekend, the Detroit Lions suffered a tough loss at the hands of the Chiefs, leading many to question whether Dan Campbell’s squad was truly ready to contend. But all that doubt was erased last night against the Bucs, as Jared Goff and his offense sent a clear message to the rest of the NFL about what they’re capable of.

One of the standout performers of the night was Jahmyr Gibbs, one of the most explosive running backs in the league right now. Week 7 proved to be a breakout moment for the former Alabama star, who tore through the Tampa Bay defense with authority.

Dan Campbell knows he has an offense that’s gone from slow to surging — and the scariest part for opponents is that the best may still be yet to come. What fans witnessed at a packed Ford Field was just a preview of what’s on the horizon.

“It’s huge. You felt like this was coming,” the HC said at his press conference. “You felt like this has been building, and as he gets in better shape and starts getting his feet under him, starts getting the feel of it, starts breaking some tackles.

“Every week’s just gotten closer and closer, and tonight was a night where he busted one of these out of there. There will be no looking back. I think he’s just going to continue to do this.”
