Dan Campbell explains how Detroit Lions won season opener against Rams.
were able to defeat the Los Angeles Rams in their 2024 season opener, despite not playing their best brand of football.noted, after his team's 26-20 victory, typically those that make the least amount of mistakes in early season games often walk out victorious.
"I just give them a lot of credit. They did, they fought, now. But we’re hard to break, so we did what we had to do. And our defense held there. Before that Fox makes a heck of a punt and defense holds, offense we get it back, and get it in overtime. We win the toss, and we don’t look back," said. "So, we eventually found a rhythm. We did what we had to do, and I said early in the week, ‘The team that makes the most mistakes is the one who usually loses these early games.
During Campbell's tenure, key starters have not played a significant amount of snaps in the preseason, presumably to avoid injury and to get a detailed look at players competing for roster spots."There’s always going to be that, and there’s always going to be.
"So this is our first taste. We’ll get better. We’ll get in a better flow on both sides of the ball, we will,"continued. "But, at the end of the day, our defense held these guys to less points than our offense, and our offense scored more points than their offense did. And so we found a way to win.”John Maakaron has covered Detroit Sports since 2013.
