If you couldn’t figure out what in the world happened to the Detroit Lions in Saturday’s ugly 37-23 loss in Carolina to the Panthers, you are not alone. Lions head coach Dan Campbell was at a loss for his team’s terrible defensive effort and overall flat performance in Week 16.
“I cannot explain that,” Campbell said after the game. “I can’t explain that. I know this, they come off a real tough loss against a physical team and they’re a physical team. And they were not — they were going to make sure that didn’t happen again, and they did that.”
