It’s been a tough couple of days for Detroit Lions fans.
After losing to the inevitability of Josh Allen, an already injury-ravaged Lions team likely lost its No. 1 cornerback, No. 1 defensive tackle, and starting running back for the rest of the 2024 season. And even with a stellar 12-2 record, with everything the Lions want to accomplish this year still in front of them, it sure feels like the sky is falling in Detroit.
Dan Campbell wants to hear about precisely none of this pity party.
During his weekly radio hit on 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit, Campbell delivered an emotional speech to Lions fans who were feeling down in the dumps about the team’s unfortunate collection of injuries. It’s a great message to a fanbase who should really understand that the Lions are no longer the sad-sack losers they were for decades, regardless of their current health. They’re better than that because that’s not how winners respond to adversity.
No one is throwing in the towel here. (Warning: NSFW language in the video below.)

The sentiment is clear. Campbell and his Lions players aren’t giving up on their Super Bowl 59 dreams just because the injury bug has hit them hard. Neither should Lions fans.
