“I got a tremendous amount of trust in those guys and that’s been built up now in five years,” Campbell said, per Sports Illustrated’s Blake Silverman. “And that helps. And that offensive line and the way they were playing, it felt like that was the right call. It’s those guys. It’s the players, man. They’re the ones who make this stuff come to life, and they’ve earned that trust. They step up and make huge plays at critical times, and it’s unbelievable, it really is. It’s a thing of beauty.”
“No-brainer to me,” Lions right tackle Penei Sewell said about Campbell’s huge call. “I mean, I’ve kind of known the man for quite some time now. I wasn’t thinking about coming off. I was just waiting for the play call.”
“Coach Campbell does a good job of talking about situational football, and not only talking about it, but putting us in situations during walk-throughs and during real practice,” Reed added. “So when we get in moments like these, it’s not a big deal. We’ve been through it already.”
