Dan Campbell is ready to raise the bar
The Detroit Lions went into Week 18 with their chance still alive to make the playoffs. The Lions did their part, beating the Green Bay Packers on the road to play spoiler. But the Seahawks were able to nab the seventh seed with a win in Week 18. Lions head coach Dan Campbell wants to take the next step in his third season.
According to the Lions website, Campbell said the team is looking to win the NFC North in 2023:
“It’s about raising expectations, you know?” Campbell said. “We got to be thinking that way, and everything we do has to be with that type of purpose. Our standard has always been about winning, man. You’re trying to win every game, but ultimately, I think to take the next step, man, you’re shooting for the division.
“You win the division, and you get a home game, then the rest takes care of itself. That’s the next part of the process. Every team should want to go to the Super Bowl every year.”
According to multiple sportsbooks, the Lions have the best odds of winning their division.
