Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell "cannot wait" to face the New England Patriots.
He seemed extra fired up when appearing on 97.1 The Ticket's Costa & Jansen and talking about the upcoming Week 10 international matchup in Munich on Sunday. The Patriots rolled over at home in a lopsided 45-27 loss to the Lions' NFC North division rival Green Bay Packers last week.
Campbell and the Lions handed the Packers a 20-17 loss a few weeks back, and they'll be looking to do the same to the struggling Patriots in Germany.
"We're ready for this battle, man, and it's going to start with our little journey out here to Germany against New England," said Campbell. "We're going to get ready to go. We're going to have our best game plan in all three phases, and we're
going to be ready to get after New England's [expletive]. I cannot wait."
The Patriots should take those words as bulletin board material after coming off such an embarrassing blowout loss.
A loss to the Lions would be devastating to their playoff hopes, particularly with the toughest stretch of their 2026 schedule still on the horizon. However, stealing a win on Sunday and going into the bye week with some confidence could be a complete game-changer for the team.
