Coach Dan Campbell of the Lions claims to have numerous receipts. After his big victory, he isn’t ready to show them.

The NFC’s No. 2 seed, Detroit, will host two postseason games in one postseason for the first time in team history on Sunday when it plays Tampa Bay, which defeated Philadelphia 32–9 on Monday night. The divisional round matchup takes place next Sunday.
Almost three years ago, when the Lions offered Campbell his first opportunity to lead an NFL team on a full-time basis, some laughed at him for saying that his teams would “bite a kneecap off” and kick opponents in the teeth.

More jokes were directed at Campbell after his 1-6 record in 2022, which came after his three-win debut season.

He’s no longer being made fun of by anyone.

Since the team was a dominant force in the NFL in the 1950s, Jared Goff has emerged as the quarterback the franchise has been yearsing for.

Early and frequently, Ford Field supporters yelled, “Jar-ed Goff! Jar-ed Goff!” to indicate that Goff was their favorite quarterback on the field, which he shared with Matthew Stafford of the Rams, who had asked Detroit to trade him three years prior.

Halfway through the second quarter, Goff converted a fourth down with a 2-yard touchdown pass to rookie tight end Sam LaPorta, giving the Lions a 21-10 lead. Goff completed his first 10 passes.

He became the fifth player in NFL history to throw for at least 275 yards while completing at least 80% of his passes after finishing 22 of 27 for 277 yards.
