The Lions won the division in consecutive seasons for the first time in their existence, and they also secured the No. 1 seed in the postseason for the first time. As anticipated, Dan Campbell’s ferocious and electrifying postgame locker room speech after the victory took centre stage. It swiftly went viral throughout the NFL and on the Lions’ social media accounts. “That was fantastic. Guys, that’s a huge victory,” Campbell remarked. “This has been developing for three years. To reach the highs of where we are now, you must persevere, grind through it, and experience the lows. Being the No. 1 seed and the man-division winners for consecutive seasons was incredible. It was truly a collaborative effort. View the entire speech:
In less than seven hours after it was shared on social media, the film had received over 500,000 views. Additionally, it received more than 20,000 likes. In his first season as head coach of the Lions, Dan Campbell had a 3-13-1 record, but he was already making progress. He was encouraging his players to buy into a culture that had been lacking for a long time.
Three years later, Campbell had accomplished this. He has developed into one of the NFL’s top head coaches, and the Lions are currently aiming for their first Super Bowl as a team. They will be ready for the divisional round in two weeks after taking a week off to recover and get ready.
