MINNEAPOLIS — Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell entered the locker room after Sunday’s 28-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and told his team its latest gut-wrenching defeat was on him.
One of the most aggressive coaches in the NFL when it comes to in-game decision making, Campbell made a slew of choices Sunday that had his team in position to win its first road game since late in the 2020 season.
The Lions led the Vikings by 10 points, on the road, with 8 minutes to play, and then Campbell cowered late when he passed on a fourth-and-4 attempt with 1:14 left in lieu of a 54-yard field goal attempt.
