Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell doesn’t always make the correct decision. But when he believes he’s right, he’ll stand behind the choice. Perhaps more surprisingly, he also respects the media’s role in challenging him.
Campbell made his weekly appearance on Detroit’s 97.1 The Ticket morning show with Mike Stone and Jim Costa, and the Lions’ controversial two-point conversion attempt at the end of Week 17’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys was a natural topic of discussion.
Costa, in particular, wanted to know Campbell’s thought process in attempting another two-point play–this one from the seven-yard line–after the first try was wiped out by a controversial ineligible receiver penalty.
