As the Detroit Lions gear up for their primetime showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles, head coach Dan Campbell isn’t losing sleep over one of the NFL’s most talked-about plays — the “Tush Push.” While teams around the league have been debating how to stop the Eagles’ unstoppable quarterback sneak, Campbell made it clear that his focus is elsewhere.
“The Tush Push is the least of my concerns,” Campbell told reporters with his usual no-nonsense tone. “We’ve got a lot more to worry about than one play.” That statement perfectly sums up the Lions’ mentality heading into Week 11 — confident, composed, and ready for whatever Philly throws their way.
Instead of obsessing over the short-yardage tactic that has defined the Eagles’ offense, Campbell and his staff are zeroed in on containing Jalen Hurts, limiting explosive plays, and making sure Jared Goff and company keep the offense rolling. After dismantling Washington in Week 10, Detroit has momentum on its side and a head coach who clearly refuses to get distracted by the hype.
It’s classic Dan Campbell — focused on the fight ahead, not the noise around it. The Lions know the Eagles will come out swinging, but they’re ready to respond with their own brand of toughness and creativity under the lights on Sunday night.
