Dan Campbell Reclaims Lions Play-Calling, Offense Erupts in 44–22 Win

Campbell cast the shift as collaborative with OC John Morton, leaving its permanence open before a primetime trip to Philadelphia.

Overview

  • Campbell confirmed postgame that he called the offense against Washington after deciding to make the change the Monday following the Week 9 loss to Minnesota.
  • Detroit produced 546 total yards with 30 first downs, scored on every drive until the final kneeldown, and did not punt in the 44–22 victory.
  • Jared Goff went 25 of 33 for 320 yards and three touchdowns without a sack, Jahmyr Gibbs totaled 172 yards and three scores, and Jameson Williams posted six catches for a season-high 119 yards and a touchdown.
  • The head coach stressed a collaborative approach, praising Morton as "all team" and noting the coordinator continued to provide key passing-game input during the game.
  • Reporters noted this echoes Campbell’s 2021 midseason takeover, and coverage suggests he could keep the role if results persist with the Eagles game viewed as the first major test.
