The Lions did not play well in the preseason, finishing 1-3 and getting outscored by 46 points. And while the Lions weren\u2019t playing most of their top players, head coach Dan Campbell acknowledged that he doesn\u2019t feel great about the way his team played in the exhibition games.<\/p>\n
Campbell said that he thinks from watching the Lions in practice that they\u2019re poised to be a good team in 2025, but he would have liked to see more proof of that under game conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe practices look really good, but all four of these games have not been good,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cThat\u2019s an issue. Because all of a sudden the lights are on and we\u2019re in real games, and the coach isn\u2019t behind you, and there\u2019s no scripts. That\u2019s a little bit concerning.\u201d<\/p>\n
If the Lions play the way they\u2019re expected to play when the real games start, the preseason will quickly become a distant memory. But right now, Campbell has some concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Lions did not play well in the preseason, finishing 1-3 and getting outscored by 46 points.
