The football world loves the Detroit Lions right now. Well, probably not fans of other NFC playoff teams, but pretty much everyone else is caught up in the dramatic rise of the downtrodden Lions under dynamic head coach Dan Campbell.

Lions players explain how Dan Campbell overcame his meathead persona after a tough start to his tenure in Detroit.

The Detroit Lions enter the playoffs at 15-2 and the conference's No. 1 seed, but head coach Dan Campbell says his team is focused on Saturday's game vs. the Commanders and not the Super Bowl.

"Either way you go, it’s pretty cool and it’s fun, and so I think it’s -- I like it because it’s fresh for this week, I do like the newness of it.”

“He's dangerous, he poses a major threat,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said of Jayden Daniels, according to an article from Fox. “He does not play the position like a rookie quarterback. He's composed, he's a dangerous runner, he's smart. And then he's got weapons around him. He's a difference maker.”

Monday's press conference with Lions Coach Dan Campbell meant hearing his thoughts for the first time about the Divisional playoff opponent - the Commanders.

Daniels threw 25 touchdowns to nine picks and had a passer rating of 100.1 this season. He also rushed for 891 yards – a rookie QB record – and six touchdowns.
