Lions' Campbell puts it on coaching staff to create more big-play chances for offense

Allen Park — A significant part of the Detroit Lions' winless start is the team hasn't been scoring enough points. And there are two primary culprits contributing to those woes: Turnovers and the inability to consistently generate big plays.

When it comes to protecting the ball, the Lions rank in the bottom half of the league, coughing it up seven times via fumbles and interceptions. They've also not been effective enough on fourth-down attempts, converting just three of 11 tries, including multiple in opposing territory.

Quarterback Jared Goff has had a hand in most of those turnovers, losing four fumbles, including three the past two weeks, to go with a trio of interceptions.
