The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers welcomed football back into fans' lives on Thursday night in the annual NFL Hall of Fame preseason game. As is often the case, it wound up an ugly affair. The Chargers handily took down the Lions, 34-7, and the tone was set with a fumble by the Lions on the opening kickoff. It was a mistaken-laden contest and Detroit's errors led to a stern warning from Dan Campbell.
Speaking to media after the game, Campbell hammered home the importance of taking care of the ball; his team totaled five turnovers between three interceptions and two lost fumbles. He got that message across with a blunt acknowledgement that anybody who makes a habit of turning the ball over won't be wearing a Lions uniform for very long.
