The Detroit Lions, led by head coach Dan Campbell, have certainly been one of the most surprising storylines of the 2022 NFL season.
Detroit’s fanbase has been looking for a leader like Campbell for quite some time.
He is outspoken and boisterous, speaking his mind at all times to multiple media outlets, which includes the comments he has made about their upcoming opponent, the New York Jets.

Campbell was not fooled by the possibility of Mike White starting at quarterback for the Jets.
When preparing for any game, it is crucial to be as unsurprised as possible when game time rolls around.
The Lions’ preparation has been on full display as of late, winning five of their last six games.
What’s Next For The Lions?
The Lions will take their potent offense into New York this week to face off against the Jets, whose defense only allows 18.7 points per game, the NFL’s sixth-best mark.
With a win on Sunday, the Lions will move to .500 and put themselves into a prime position to make a playoff push during the last three weeks of the season.
After the Jets, the Lions will be facing the Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, and Green Bay Packers.
The Lions will likely be favored in their matchups with the Panthers and Bears, and potentially even the Packers, considering that is a home game for the Lions.
Will the miraculous run for the Lions come to an end this week?
One thing is for certain.
With Campbell coaching this team, they will continue to fight, giving them the opportunity to beat any opponent.
