ALLEN PARK — Since Dan Campbell’s arrival as head coach in 2021, the Detroit Lions have earned a reputation as one of the NFL’s most aggressive teams on fourth-down attempts. The data backs it up.

The New York Giants and Detroit Lions went in two entirely different directions this season but their starting point was the same. Back in early August, the Giants and Lions kicked off the preseason with a pair of joint practices ahead of their first exhibition game.

Dan Campbell shared a heck of a thought on Detroit sports fans. "This is a sleeping giant for football. The Pistons have had success. Red Wings have had success. But the Lions have never had success and just to be able to unlock everything.

There have certainly been better times for the Pittsburgh Steelers' organization. Even after making the postseason for the third time in four years, all hope seems lost in the Steel City.
