NFL Twitter is falling in love with Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell, one trick play at a time.
It does not matter if you are a Detroit Lions fan, we all love their head coach Dan Campbell and his play-calling wizardry.
With the last winless team in the NFL, Campbell decided to go straight-up Albus Dumbledore when taking on that wunderkind wizard Sean McVay. Campbell is not playing to lose. As a matter of fact, he is playing an NFL game like a pre-teen playing Madden. Even if he’s playing like an a*****e, to have the stones to run two fake punts and an onside kick, he is a real man of genius.
Though only logical explanation here is the Motor City Dumbledore has procured the Elder Wand.

Yes, there are people who will run through a brick wall for Campbell, but you better believe there are people who will run through a barbed-wire fence for him or follow him into the mists of Avalon while riding majestic, translucent steeds!
Besides cheering him on during fall Sundays, the only other way one can show appreciation for the greatest thing to happen to football since the forward pass is to order the two venti, two espresso double-shot combo every morning you go to Starbucks. That’s how you get there mentally, in his zone.
Not all superheroes wear capes, but Campbell’s bones are 100 percent made of adamantium. This has to be why he refused to roster a kicker after Cut Day!
If Campbell’s shenanigans beat McVay’s Rams, he will be the first person to beat the offensive-minded genius when he has a lead at halftime as an NFL head coach.
