On Thursday morning, ahead of the second day of joint practices with the Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell addressed the media via press conference and discussed how the team performed on Wednesday.
“I was proud of those guys,” Campbell opened his presser saying. “We came out and I loved our tempo. I thought we were physical. Certainly, we have a lot to clean up, but I thought we challenged in all three phases—offense, defense, and special teams.”
The general consensus from both Lions and Colts reporters was that the Colts won decisively early—specifically against the Lions’ offense on 7-on7s, and the Lions’ defense in the red zone—but Detroit battled back and slowly increased their competitive edge as the practice wore on.
