The Detroit Lions went into the playoffs at the No. 1 seed in the NFC and riding high. But on Saturday, the Lions ran into a Washington Commanders team that didn’t care how well the Lions were playing and beat them in the divisional round of the playoffs.
We didn’t watch all of the game but we were able to watch Lions head coach Dan Campbell’s postgame press conference where he was visibly shaken and emotional about the loss and his team’s early exit from the playoffs. It was real and genuine and continued to reinforce his reputation as one of the best coaches in the league.

I would invite all Pittsburgh Steelers fans to watch Campbell’s video and then go back and watch the postgame presser for Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin after the Steelers loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Tomlin almost seemed relieved for the season to be over. The Steelers have no plans to move on from Tomlin despite his continued struggles in the playoffs.
