Allen Park — The optics of having play-calling duties removed implies a demotion, but Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn doesn't see it that way. A former head coach, Lynn understands coach Dan Campbell's decision to take the reins.
"I don't see it as a demotion," Lynn said. "I've been in Dan's shoes and if I was 0-8, hell, and I need to spark my team being an offensive guy, I probably would have done the same thing, to be honest with you, and I have.
"I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't agree with what he did," Lynn said.
