When Dan Campbell took play calling duties away from offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn at the bye week, the Detroit Lions coach admits, now, that he was a little bit over his head.
“It was a lot,” Campbell said via Zoom on Wednesday. “I felt like it took a couple of weeks to be able to start breathing again. There was a transitional period there. It took a minute to try to get it all in.”
That is backed up by results on the field. In the Lions’ first three games with Campbell as a play caller, the Lions didn’t manage more than 16 points in a game.
