The Lions’ performance this season has been remarkable compared to their previous seasons. Before the season began, there was a lot of excitement around Dan Campbell, the head coach of the Lions, who has been introducing a new style of coaching that is changing the traditional approach to the game.
Campbell’s coaching style is more aggressive and tailored to game situations and opportunities. The Lion’s head coach says in a post-game interview from Sports Illustrated, “I believe it was more of an epiphany if you will, the time I had at Miami. I just remember once I was done there, I had regrets, particularly in special teams, that I didn’t use it more,” said Campbell when asked to discuss the origins of his aggressiveness as a coach. This aggressiveness can be shown through his decisions to go for it on 4th down in positions where it is not normally the right move in most cocoaches’ eyes.
The Lions’ new appearance proved to be effective in the first week of the season when they faced off against the Chiefs, the reigning Super Bowl champions, and emerged victorious with a score of 21-20. Their win has given their supporters hope for the upcoming season. The win against the Chiefs in week one has raised expectations for the team and has left fans feeling optimistic.
The Lions fan base has always been enduring, but this year they see improvement and hope for a good football team, a change from the past years.
