Aaron Glenn is not second guessing himself about rushing three defenders on the fourth-and-19 conversion the Detroit Lions allowed in the fourth quarter of last week’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens. “The decision to make that call again, I would not take it back not one bit,” Glenn said Thursday. “He made a hell of

Dan Campbell gets a game management report from his director of football compliance, Jon Dykema, most Monday nights, and when the first-year Detroit Lions coach received this week’s report, he was a little taken aback by its contents. “I’m like, ‘Jon, what the hell?

Dan Campbell called a timeout just before a key fourth-and-19 play in the Detroit Lions’ 19-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday hoping to bring some serenity to his defense. “What I was hoping to gain was to get everybody settled and get everybody on the same page, and we did,” Campbell explained Monday.
