Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell on Sunday addressed the polarizing decisions he made late in his team’s 34-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The Lions failed to convert on 4th-and-short instead of kicking a field goal twice in the second half in an NFC Championship Game they eventually lost by three.
Campbell had no regrets about the calls during his postgame press conference. The Lions coach wanted his team to be the ones controlling the tempo of the game and believed staying aggressive was going to help them do that.
“It’s easy, hindsight, and I get it,” admitted Campbell. “I get that, but I don’t regret those decisions. And that’s hard. It’s hard because We didn’t come through. It wasn’t able to work out. But I don’t. And I understand the scrutiny I’ll get, and that’s part of the gig, man.”
