Dan Campbell’s stunning Lions play-calling change was a smashing success
NY Post
Dan Campbell wanted to “try something a little different” this week during the Lions’ game against the Commanders when it came to Detroit’s offense.
That meant taking over the play-calling in the 44-22 win over the Commanders, and it paid off with the Lions finishing with a season-best 546 yards and scoring on all but one of their possessions in the game at Northeast Stadium.
They ran for 226 yards.
While Campbell was looking to change things up after Detroit mustered just 65 rushing yards in their loss to the Vikings last week, he said that offensive coordinator John Morton is still involved.
“Look, I know what I want to do, I know how I want to do it,” Campbell said. “Now, that being said, this is a collaborative effort, now. I was taking input from John Morton the whole time, and the other coaches. … This is all encompassing. We all work together. The coaches did a hell of a job, but I just wanted to change things up a little bit. Let’s just see if maybe a different play-caller can, maybe give us a little rhythm. That’s all. And, honestly, it’s nothing more than that.”
He added: “We made a change, it was good for today.”
The Mets introduced a high-powered reliever who is aware there is another looming.
If we’re taking Leon Rose at his press-release words — which represents his only form of public communication these days — then the Knicks absolutely have to blitz for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The alliance between the Mara Family and the Tisch Family has, by and large, been the gold standard for all such partnership agreements. From the moment Wellington Mara and Robert Tisch entered into their 50-50 arrangement at the top of the Giants’ organizational flow chart on Feb. 21, 1991, this has been a model affiliation.
Cody Bellinger remains the Yankees’ No. 1 target, and while they aren’t necessarily close to a deal, they are making a big effort.
It wouldn’t be an NFL week if there weren’t some sort of controversy.
The Knicks have time to think. Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t going anywhere just yet.
OTTAWA, Ontario — When the Rangers bench asked for the puck Artemi Panarin had just shot into an empty-net to secure a 4-2 victory for the Rangers over the Senators on Thursday night at Canadian Tire Center, the star Russian wing turned around and asked why.
The Knicks got a significant injury boost with OG Anunoby.
Brock Nelson got his standing ovation.
The Red Sox traded one of their top prospects to the Pirates to help boost their rotation as part of a five-player trade Thursday night.
As we arrive at the final five weeks of the NFL regular season, the quarterback market for 2026 continues to take shape.
Tyler Kolek is getting his opportunity as the backup point guard and, frankly, it’s not going well.
Less than two weeks removed from being a point away from the bottom of the Eastern Conference, the Rangers appear to be surging again, winning four of their past five games heading into Thursday’s match at Ottawa.
