The Detroit Lions are celebrating their NFC North division championship by playing another playoff club, the Dallas Cowboys.
The Lions anticipate a playoff atmosphere for Saturday’s game. Dallas has been outstanding at home and has already secured a playoff position.
Both teams have a lot to play for. The Lions are fighting for the top spot, while the Cowboys are a game behind the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East.
These motivators are laying the groundwork for an intriguing match on Saturday. While both teams have a lot riding on this game, the Lions have a chance to see where they rank among the NFC’s top based on how they perform against Dallas.
“It’s fantastic. You couldn’t come up with a better script. “It gives you a good sense of where you are because this is one of the top teams in the NFC, it just is,” Dan Campbell said. “We’re at their stadium, where they play their best football.” Their back is against the wall, so you’re going to receive their best shot. Coach McCarthy has done an excellent job with that team. I truly believe it is ideal. It is, we will find out exactly what it is, and then we will proceed.”
Since taking over three seasons ago, Campbell has elevated the organization’s standards both externally and internally. The club has a tough culture, and they are well-liked by many among the league’s best.
This week, the culture was on show as several players rapidly switched their attention from winning the division to getting the highest possible playoff placement.
“I believe you should want more. “I think that’s how real competitors see things, man,” Campbell explained. “On to the next thing, and how can we improve on what we have?” What’s the next assignment? What will be the next challenge? That, I believe, is our team’s mindset. I think we did well, and the players did well as well. We’ve been doing well in practice.”
The Lions have another chance to make a statement against the Cowboys on Saturday. With Dallas undefeated at home, the game will be an opportunity for Campbell’s club to establish themselves as legitimate postseason contenders.
“We know we have a tough challenge ahead of us here. “This is a good team; they’re going to want to win, and they play well at home,” Campbell said. “That’s where you are. We’re in December, and everyone’s playing fantastic football right now, especially this squad we’re about to play. So all we have to do is play clean football and be ready to go.”
