Over the past three seasons, Lions head coach Dan Campbell has consistently been in the discussion and received votes for NFL Coach of the Year honors.

It wasn’t that long ago the Detroit Lions were still considered a non-marquee NFL team. In fact, the Lions were once so completely rudderless that future Hall of Fame tight end Rob Gronkowski vetoed a trade to Detroit in 2018 at the near-apex of his legendary career.

The Lions have been ravaged by injuries this year with nearly 20 players being placed on injured reserve, but Dan Cambell isn't going to be using that as an excuse for why his team lost on Sunday. During an interview on 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit, Campbell went slightly off the rails while giving a 90-second pep talk to the people of Detroit.
