I think collectively, everyone surrounding the Detroit Lions organization needed that bye week. From the fans, to the coaching staff—after the 29-0 clunker in Week 5 against the New England Patriots, some time off was in order.
Now with the bye week in the rearview, Lions coach Dan Campbell knows it’s time to start stacking good days. Because as much good faith as this regime built up towards the end of last season and through training camp—it’s tough to keep preaching the same things when you only win six or seven games in two seasons.
