Watch: Dan Campbell hypes up Lions locker room after third straight win
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is quickly becoming the Barry Sanders of postgame speeches.
And his latest celebration after Detroit’s 31-18 win over the New York Giants on Sunday served as a bit of catharsis for a team that was written off three weeks ago.
“We’re paying some pretty clean, physical football man,” Campbell said. “…We were efficient; that’s the way to win, man. Now you’re figuring it out. Now we’re figuring it out. That’s three (straight wins).”
Sunday’s win was Detroit’s third in a row — the team’s longest win streak since Campbell took over as head coach in 2021 — which vaulted the Lions to second in the NFC North and put them just a game and a half out of the final wild-card spot.
It was also just the third loss of the year for the upstart Giants, who are 7-3 and tied for second in the NFC West, and it was the first time an opponent scored 30 points on New York’s defense this year.
