Dan Campbell of the Detroit Lions is getting real about his competition right before the New York Giants game. The post Dan Campbell Just Got Real About the Lions’ Latest Opponent appeared first on Heavy Sports.

I know Detroit Lions fans absolutley hate it, but this is what happens when you have a good team. Other teams want to be just like you. We're getting ever closer to Black Monday, when the NFL will have a new round of head coach openings to keep an eye on.

Per Jay Glazer, Campbell told the insider that he would be taking over offensive playcalling for the remainder of the season. It is not at all shocking that the Lions' head coach is making this change, as a 44-point outing is more than enough to allow this experiment to continue.

It seems Dan Campbell has decided he’s not just the head coach anymore; he’s also the new offensive maestro for the Detroit Lions. After a little “test run” in Week 10, Campbell is grabbing the play sheet and not letting go for the rest of the season.

The Giants also don't force takeaways on defense. They have just one in the last five games, and a weak four interceptions for the season; just one of those has come since September ended. Some of that comes from a lack of playmakers on the back end, but it's also a weird disconnect between pressure up front and playing the ball behind them.
