Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions extended their winning streak to five games, delivering a decisive 52-14 win at home against the Tennessee Titans. After this epic victory, the head coach had a strong message for his players in the locker room.
In a video released to the public, Campbell was seen fired up, addressing the Lions in the locker room and praising their victory over the Titans. Among his remarks, he told the players that it wasn’t their best performance.
“That was not our best performance, really on offense/defense. And there were a couple of things on special teams. But do you know what happens? Man, when you do and get the returns and production out of special teams, that we got. Holy….”
The head coach praised the return unit, calling them “outstanding.” He also gave a special shout-out to the special teams for their perfect red-zone efficiency, going 5-for-5. Campbell showed his satisfaction with the defense and called up special teams coordinator Dave Fipp to congratulate him and presented him with a game ball.
