Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell appears to be setting his sights high for the 2024 season following how the team’s 2023 campaign concluded.
During an appearance on NBC Sports’ “PFT Live,” star Lions pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson shared the message that Campbell delivered to him during the team’s exit meetings. Hutchinson, doing a fantastic impression of Campbell, claimed that Campbell made it apparent that the intention is to participate in the Super Bowl the next year.
He says, “We’re going to the Super Bowl next year,” during our farewell meetings the following day. Forget about it. No matter what it takes, I’m game. stated Hutchinson.
Campbell has good cause to be enraged. In the NFC Championship, the Lions led the San Francisco 49ers by 17 points at the half. However, in the second half, he and the club struggled. That is a reasonable objective, and one that the rest of the organization seems committed to, given how close they got this season.
Although the Lions’ roster will require some adjustment in 2024, the team’s objectives have undoubtedly shifted from a few years ago.
