Lions

Lions HC Dan Campbell credited passing game coordinator Mike Kafka for the big play to WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.

“That was Kafka’s baby. Like most plays, somebody gets an idea, and then you start massaging it, you slap it against the wall, ‘What about this?’ and everyone picks away at it,” Campbell said, via NBC Sports. “We all have ideas and you throw them against the wall and it’s either perfect or you start massaging it a little bit, you start tinkering. But that one started from Kafka, it was awesome. We’d had it up a couple weeks, just hadn’t run it yet, and this was a good week to do it.”

Packers

Packers HC Matt LaFleur feels rookie K Trey Smack has done well to bounce back from some of the mistakes he’s made so far in his first year.

“I think he’s done a lot of good things,” LaFleur said, via Packers Wire. “The thing I like about Trey is he’s shown to bounce back. Never want to be in a bounce-back situation, but that’s football. You got to be able to be resilient and go out there and play the next play. It started off bad, obviously, this last game missing a PAT, and then he responded.”
