Four years after first seizing Detroit’s play sheet, Lions coach Dan Campbell did it again, taking over from first-year coordinator John Morton on Nov. 3 despite a top-five scoring start. He framed the move as a bid for rhythm after the offense cooled—more three-and-outs, a muted run game, scoring nearly two touchdowns fewer over the last three contests. Detroit promptly hung 44 on Washington’s struggling defense, with a collaborative staff still feeding Campbell calls. Morton remains involved and could resume duties. With no clear league favorite, the decision looms over the Lions’ renewed Super Bowl push.
