SO SADLY: Detroit Lions Devastated by loss of Four players following tragic car crash…
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell, known for his candid demeanor, didn’t hold back during his recent appearance on 97.1 The Ticket, where he addressed the scrutiny surrounding the team’s two-point conversion attempts at the end of the Dallas Cowboys game.
In the spirit of keeping it real, Campbell challenged Costa to speak his mind openly, saying, “No, say it like you would say it to anybody else. I’m on the radio, say it like you want to say it.” Costa didn’t mince words, describing the move as “reckless.”
Campbell, appreciating the honesty, responded with a straightforward “Thank you!” underscoring that he did not regret the bold move. Explaining the strategy behind the decision, he highlighted the unexpected defensive coverage that played a role, stating, “If they play a certain coverage that is the last place it will go, and that was the exact coverage we got.”
Despite the initial success of the two-point attempt, a penalty on offensive lineman Taylor Decker for illegal touching nullified the score. The Lions received a second chance due to a Cowboys offsides penalty but couldn’t capitalize, ultimately missing the opportunity.
