Dan Campbell might have unintentionally given the Detroit Lions supporters the wrong impression following the team’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Following the shocking loss to San Francisco, Campbell publicly stated that he informed his squad that it might be their only chance to participate in a Super Bowl.
Players on the team questioned whether their one and only shot to win a Lombardi Trophy had already passed, even though he clarified that he did not genuinely think such.
Speaking on Pro Football Talk on radio row, Aidan Hutchinson said that Detroit’s head coach quickly shifted his position in farewell interviews.
Campbell was fervent, according to the former No. 2 overall choice, and the squad will stop at nothing to get it to the Super Bowl in 2024.
Hutchinson stated, “I think he was emotional after that game, as we all were.” “We’re going to the Super Bowl next year!’ He says in our exit meetings the day after, so I’m not sure whether he meant those things entirely. Like, “Screw it!” Like, “Whatever it takes, I don’t care!”
After the game, you kind of hear it, and it kind of depresses you because you’re thinking, “Do you think that was our only shot?” I believe it was purely emotional. I get it because it seems like you have this 22-week season and you simply lose out despite being so close.
“You think, ‘Oh my goodness, it took a long time to get here,’ but I get it. Hutchinson said, “He kind of came in and gave us this lecture the next day, and we were like, ‘We’re all ready to play again right now.
“I felt like on that Monday, and I believe it too, because all the players that we have that are talented on our team are so young and we have so many more years all playing together.”
