Dan Campbell Takes Over Lions Play-Calling, Offense Erupts in 44-22 Win

Campbell made the switch after the Week 9 loss to Minnesota to reset the offense, keeping OC John Morton involved.

Overview

  • Campbell confirmed postgame that he called the offensive plays against Washington after deciding on the change early in the week.
  • Detroit produced 546 total yards, 30 first downs and no punts, scoring on all eight drives before a game-ending kneeldown.
  • Jared Goff went 25-of-33 for 320 yards and three touchdowns without a sack, while Jahmyr Gibbs totaled 142 rushing yards and three scores.
  • Campbell described the approach as collaborative and called Morton vital to the operation, noting he took Morton’s input throughout the game.
  • Reporters observed Campbell with a playsheet and on the headset during the game, and coverage notes his long-term role as play-caller remains unresolved as Detroit moves to 6-3.
