A nightmare start
Despite the Lions' win in Week 1, it was a near disaster. They found themselves up 21-0 in the third quarter against the New Orleans Saints before allowing them to storm back and force overtime. The Lions won 31-30 on a failed two-point conversion by the Saints. Saints QB Tyler Shough went for 410 yards and three touchdowns.
Week 2 against the Bills on Thursday was a different story. Buffalo got out to a quick 21-0 lead early in the second quarter and held a three-possession lead for most of the game, eventually winning 41-31.
Detroit's clear issue is its struggles on defense, allowing 457.5 offensive yards per game and 35.5 points across both games. The Lions allowed the Saints and Bills to go a combined 9/10 on red zone attempts.
Campbell’s tenure
Campbell has done enough to keep his job to this point. He took over as the Lions' head coach in 2021 after three consecutive sub .500 seasons. In his five seasons, he’s turned them around completely, with four 9+ win seasons and two playoff appearances, with an NFC Championship game appearance as well.
Offense has never been an issue as they’ve consistently ranked as a top-5 offense in the league. Detroit has struggled on defense, with four bottom-10 finishes in points allowed since 2021. Things have also gone worse for the Lions since Ben Johnson left to become the head coach in Chicago.
The Lions have a chance to bolster their defensive performance at home in Week 3 against the New York Jets.
