Dan Campbell took back Detroit’s offensive play-calling Sunday, taking over from coordinator John Morton, and the Lions roared to a 44-22 win over the Commanders. Wearing reading glasses and glued to the call sheet, Campbell mixed five runs and five passes on the opening drive and never eased off: Detroit scored on every possession but a final kneeldown, piling up 546 yards (320 passing, 226 rushing). Jared Goff threw three touchdowns with no interceptions; Jahmyr Gibbs scored three times. Detroit allowed no sacks, committed no offensive penalties, leaned on more play action, and posted the season’s highest EPA/play.
