The Detroit Lions opened the season with a dud against the Green Bay Packers, and head coach Dan Campbell didn’t sugarcoat it. “Like I told the team, it’s tough to go in and not certainly play close to your best game and you hate to start the season off with a loss,” Campbell said after the defeat. For a team hyped as NFC contenders, it would be easy to spiral after an ugly opener against a rival. The Lions were sloppy on offense and inconsistent on defense.
