Dan Campbell Calls Report of LionsNFL Complaint Over Hutchinson Blocks ‘Bogus’

The pushback follows an ESPN claim that Detroit sought league monitoring of low hits on the pass rusher.

Overview

  • Campbell said no one from the organization asked the NFL to monitor blocks on Aidan Hutchinson, calling the report “bogus” and “bull.”
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter previously reported the Lions requested league oversight after alleged low blocks against Hutchinson in Weeks 1 and 2 by the Packers and Bears.
  • The team’s denial leaves a direct contradiction between the on-air report and Detroit’s official position, with no public confirmation from the league office.
  • Campbell noted nothing has changed in how opponents block Hutchinson and indicated the Lions do not expect it to change.
  • Hutchinson is healthy after his 2024 leg fracture and is off to a strong start, including five sacks through five games and a league-leading 31 pressures, per MLive and PFF.
