NFL News: Dan Campbell delivers another strong locker room speech after thrilling win over Packers

Dan Campbell led the Detroit Lions to another hard-fought victory at home in an intense and thrilling game against the Green Bay Packers. The win set the stage for another one of Campbell’s trademark locker room speeches, which have become a tradition players eagerly anticipate after any game.

Although shorter than usual, Campbell didn’t hold back in expressing his pride, kicking off his postgame remarks with: “I’m freaking proud of you, man. That’s the way to show up.” This followed the Lions’ 34-31 triumph at Ford Field, marking their second win of the season over Green Bay.

The head coach continued, saying: “You talk about pressure, we live in pressure. Doesn’t matter what’s going on, you always find a way to win. This has been in the making, man. All right.”

The Lions had taken a 17-7 lead heading into the second half, but the Packers mounted a fierce comeback, even grabbing a 28-24 lead late in the third quarter. However, the Lions rallied in the final moments to secure the win.

Lions’ Next Challenge

Detroit’s next home game is against the Buffalo Bills, a matchup expected to be even more grueling as part of a tough three-game stretch before road trips to Soldier Field and Levi’s Stadium. The Lions will then conclude the regular season at home against the Minnesota Vikings.

Are the Detroit Lions in the Playoffs?

Yes, with their Week 14 victory over the Packers, the Lions clinched a playoff berth. They are still vying for the top seed in the NFC, competing with the Philadelphia Eagles (10-2). If the Lions maintain their current momentum—including their impressive 11-game winning streak—they stand a strong chance of securing the top spot.

Have the Lions Ever Won a Super Bowl?

The Detroit Lions have not won a Super Bowl in the modern era. However, they captured three NFL Championships in 1952, 1953, and 1957, back when those titles represented the pinnacle of the league. The closest they’ve come to a Super Bowl appearance in recent years was in 2023, when they lost the NFC Championship Game to the San Francisco 49ers.
