US EditionDan Campbell plans to continue calling plays on offense as his Lions prepare for big test vs. Eagles
Dan Campbell will call plays again after a successful first stint since 2021, leading the Lions to 44 points in a recent win, though the role may not be permanent.
- On Monday, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said he will call plays again next Sunday in a primetime game against the Philadelphia Eagles after calling plays in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders.
- Seeking direct input from position coaches, Dan Campbell took the headset due to a disconnect between his vision and execution, citing access to offensive coaches like Hank Fraley, Scottie Montgomery, and David Shaw.
- With Campbell on the headset, Detroit put up a season-high 546 yards and averaged 8.0 per play, as Jared Goff threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns and Jahmyr Gibbs had 172 yards and three scores.
- Campbell says the headset change is part of a collaborative staff plan, allowing John Morton, offensive coordinator, to relearn preferences and eventually resume play-calling despite injuries challenging Detroit against Jalen Hurts.
- Having extra rest, Detroit will use the additional prep time since the Philadelphia Eagles played Monday night, but Philadelphia's top-half defense makes the primetime game a stern test.
