Lions head coach Dan Campbell has by no means shied away from taking dangers, however he’d wish to have one roll of the cube from Sunday’s loss to the Bills again.
After a Jahmyr Gibbs landing lower Buffalo’s result in 38-28 with 12 minutes left to play, Campbell known as for an onside kick. Kicker Jake Bates gave the Lions an opportunity, however Bills receiver Mack Hollins recovered and returned the ball to the 5-yard-line. The Bills scored on the following play and have been on their solution to a 48-42 win.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott stated after the sport that he wasn’t positive what Campbell “was considering there, but it surely paid off for us.” Campbell stated he’d take a mulligan on the choice if such a factor have been potential.
“Obviously, now sitting right here in hindsight, after them taking it right down to the [five]-yard line, yeah, I want I wouldn’t have finished that,” Campbell stated, by way of Nolan Bianchi of the Detroit News. “But it’s what it’s.”
We’ll by no means know what the result of the sport would have been if the Lions kicked deep, however Campbell will probably take that possibility if he faces an analogous selection in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later.
