Analytics say Lions coach Dan Campbell’s in-game decisions best in NFL

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell came under a little fire this week after some unorthodox decisions during the team’s 37-31 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. However, according to one statistical model, Campbell’s in-game decisions have actually helped the Lions more than any other NFL coach has helped their respective teams.

Eric Eager, formerly of PFF, now with analytics company SumerSports, recently tweeted that Campbell has added more “win probability” points with his in-game decisions than any other NFL coach.
