Campbell Keeps Play-Calling After Lions’ Offensive Jolt as Morton Publicly Backs Switch

OC John Morton publicly backed the change, pledging to keep preparing the passing game.

Overview

  • Dan Campbell took over play-calling in Week 10 and will handle it again against the Eagles, keeping the in-game setup unchanged for now.
  • The offense responded with 44 points, roughly 500 yards and scores on all eight possessions in a win over Washington, with players citing improved flow.
  • Morton said he remains deeply involved in the passing game and weekly prep, approaching each week as if he were calling plays despite the game-day shift.
  • Campbell left open the possibility that Morton could reclaim play-calling, saying the OC is learning what he wants and could return to the role.
  • The change followed a 27-24 home loss to the Vikings on Nov. 2, and coaches highlighted takeaways on sequential play-calling and tweaks such as more under-center snaps and varied personnel usage.
