It took Dan Campbell three months to get a win in his first season as Detroit Lions coach. In his second season, it took Campbell two weeks.
Campbell said he considers the Lions' 36-27 victory Sunday over the Washington Commanders "early validation as to what we're doing," especially considering the injury problems the Lions dealt with last week.
"We’re doing that without really all our bullets," Campbell said at his weekly news conference Monday. "We’ve got some guys out and it just, everything that we’ve talked about. Next man up, do your job, help us win, and we did that with the guys that were available yesterday, the 48-man roster for gameday.
