First-year Detroit Lions Coach Dan Campbell made headlines this off-season for his comments on biting opponent’s kneecaps and disclosing that he drinks two venti-sized coffees with two additional espresso shots from Starbucks each morning.
Now, his team is making a good stand against a legitimate contender in the N.F.C.
The Lions trail the San Francisco 49ers, 28-10, a respectable score in a game that most predicted would be a lopsided win for the 49ers.
Jared Goff, the former franchise quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, who was traded in the off-season to the Lions for Matthew Stafford, has played efficiently, completing 14 of 19 passing attempts for 76 yards and a touchdown.
