Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell sparked a lively reaction from his team after leading them to a thrilling 34-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, December 5. In a postgame speech, Campbell praised offensive lineman Dan Skipper for his performance despite feeling ill.
Skipper had started the game at left tackle in place of injured Taylor Decker and showed great resilience in the face of adversity. Campbell’s comments drew laughter from his teammates, who were inspired by Skipper’s determination.
The win secured the Lions’ spot in the playoffs and solidified their one-game lead over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North. Coach Campbell rewarded players Jake Bates and Tim Patrick with honorary game balls for their outstanding performances.
Campbell also praised the team’s toughness and resilience, saying they “live it” rather than just talking about it. The coach’s passionate speech seemed to galvanize the team, with quarterback Jared Goff echoing his sentiments in the locker room. The Lions will look to build on this momentum as they face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, December 15.
