Campbell Targets Fundamentals, Predicts Win as Lions Ready for Ben Johnson’s Bears

Detroit refocuses on fundamentals after Week 1 breakdowns ahead of Sunday’s home opener.

Overview

  • Detroit fell 27-13 at Green Bay in Week 1 and now hosts Chicago on Sept. 14, with the Bears also 0-1 after losing to Minnesota.
  • Dan Campbell said losing “fuels” him, called for accountability, and said the heightened outside reaction reflects raised standards.
  • Campbell emphasized mastering the run game and basics after a 2.1-yards-per-carry outing and communication issues that disrupted protection.
  • He noted mutual familiarity with new Bears coach Ben Johnson and said, “We’re going to win this game.”
  • Amon-Ra St. Brown said on his podcast that fans will boo Johnson, while Jared Goff labeled the operation “sloppy” and pushed for better communication.
