Dan Campbell unsure if he'll continue to call plays for Lions in 2026

Our Summary

The Detroit Lions are set for potential changes after missing the playoffs with a 9-8 record. Head coach Dan Campbell, who assumed play-calling duties midway through the season, has not yet decided if he will continue in that role next year. The Lions, despite ranking No. 4 in points and No. 5 in yards, lost four of their last six games. Campbell indicated that evaluating the coaching staff and determining the best approach for offensive play-calling will be his top priorities in the offseason. The Lions finished tied for last in the NFC North, losing the tiebreaker to the Minnesota Vikings. Campbell has compiled a 48-36-1 record over five seasons, including two consecutive NFC North titles.
