Can Dan Campbell evolve? The Lions’ future hopes might depend on it
New York TimesThe Lions own the NFL’s best regular-season record over the past two seasons and have two playoff victories to show for it. Coach Dan Campbell became emotional after his top-seeded Lions’ 45-31 defeat to sixth-seeded Washington in the divisional round Saturday. My Lions takeaways: • Campbell must evolve: When evaluating Campbell’s aggressive fourth-down strategy six weeks ago, an executive from another team wondered if the Lions’ coach could shift gears for the playoffs. The penalty Detroit incurred for having 12 defenders on the field before a fourth-and-2 play from the Lions’ 5-yard line produced a first down and a 3.2-point EPA swing, tied for the largest EPA swing among 55 penalties for “too many men” enforced across the league this season, per TruMedia.
