After their commanding 52-6 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Detroit Lions boast a 9-1 record, leading the NFC standings. Head coach Dan Campbell is ensuring his team stays focused amid their success.
Campbell stressed that their achievements are the result of intentional effort, and while the Lions are no longer seen as underdogs, they remain committed to the intensity and discipline that got them here.
“We’re not the underdogs, but we have certain standards, the way we approach things, the way we prepare for games,” Campbell told Eric Woodyard of ESPN. “As long as we do that, you will continue to be a tough team to beat. And we should still be on the hunt, and I feel like we’re on the hunt.”

Meanwhile, the defense, with standouts such as Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph, has been equally dominant.
