In anticipation of their NFL playoff Divisional Round matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Detroit Lions held a walkthrough at their Allen Park facility.
In a low-scoring game between these two clubs in Week 6, the Lions prevailed by a margin of two scores. But since then, both clubs have seen significant change.
Because of this, the Lions are considering fresh approaches to take on the Buccaneers’ renowned defense, which is stocked with weapons that can decide games.
Coach Dan Campbell remarked, “Look, I know there are some things that we need to do because we do them well.” “And we are unable to ignore that. However, we also need to be strategic in our approach to them. There is a limit to how long a sledgehammer may be used on a steel door. We need to approach it wisely.”
The Lions’ offense has been among the best in the league, so watching both teams try to outsmart the other with their own advantages makes for an exciting game.
We’re preparing to take on a championship defense,” Campbell said. “Among the greatest in the league is this one. That was and still is when we first encountered them.”
On Wednesday, Campbell gave a favorable report regarding Kalif Raymond and Sam LaPorta. LaPorta played with a hyperextended knee on Sunday and left the game without any problems.
Later in the week, Raymond’s status will probably be established, but the punt returner is getting better, according to Campbell.
