The Lions were left licking their wounds after Sunday’s humbling 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Dan Campbell took full responsibility for the loss after the game. To say he is fired up to bounce back from the loss is an understatement.
Campbell appeared on 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit Tuesday and went on quite the rant about the loss but, more importantly, how it could help the team going forward.
“What happens is, you get used to eating filet. And I’m talking all of us. And everything’s good. Life’s good, you know?” Campbell said. “But you forgot what it was like when you had nothing and you ate your f—ing molded bread. And it was just fine. And it gave you everything you needed. And sometimes you gotta get punched in the mouth and remember what it used to be like to really appreciate where you are. And we’ll do that.
“And so, we got bad tastes in our mouth, we got kicked around the other day,” Campbell added. “We lost a few guys. And you know what? It’s exactly what we needed. “This is exactly what we needed. So we’re going to bounce back. We’re going to respond. We got guys who are about to have an unbelievable opportunity here. And we will play the game any way needed to win.”
Detroit lost cornerback Carlton Davis (jaw), defensive tackle Alim McNeill (torn ACL) and cornerback Khalil Dorsey (broken leg) for the season during Sunday’s game, though Davis could return during the postseason, depending on his recovery.
The Lions will have a chance to bounce back this week against the Chicago Bears, who have lost eight straight after a 4-2 start. And they’re right in the crosshairs of an angry Lions team. Good luck, Chicago.
