The Detroit Lions won their first preseason game under Dan Campbell, and their first since August 24, 2018.
Though most of the starters did not play for both teams, the Lions had their way in the trenches and dominated on both sides of the ball in this area. Following the game, Dan Campbell spoke with the media saying that they wanted to “establish the run” so they could get a good look at the backup offensive linemen. I guess you could say they were successful in that regard, as they were able to gain 174 yards on 33 carries.
