Dan Campbell explains gutsy fourth-down call that led to Detroit Lions win over Chargers

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell has never been shy to dial up his aggression. In fact, he’s been one of the most aggressive coaches in the NFL since he took over the Lions. But his call at the end of the team’s 41-38 win over the Los Angeles Chargers deserves extra praise because it was the single biggest factor in Detroit coming out of Los Angeles with the win.

With the Lions and Chargers tied at 38 with 1:47 left, Detroit could have opted to kick a 44-yard field goal. Instead, Detroit decided to go for it on a fourth-and-2.
