Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell explained his gutsy decision to go for it on fourth down late in the Lions' 34-31 win over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.
Campbell could have opted to kick the go-ahead field goal from inside 40 yards with 43 seconds remaining, but he instead chose to go for it on fourth-and-inches, and running back David Montgomery converted.
That allowed the Lions to run the clock down since the Packers had no timeouts remaining, and Jake Bates kicked a game-winning, 35-yard field goal as time expired.
