Dan Campbell had all the attention on him and his team as the Lions squashed the Bucs for Monday Night Football. Campbell’s wife, Holly, also stole some of the dazzle as she rocked a fabulous outfit for the exciting night. Holly, who has been married to the Lions’ head coach since 1999, chose a vintage theme with a black-and-white sweater with a leather skort.

Meanwhile, Campbell’s team enjoyed a mind-blowing win against Baker Mayfield & co. Detroit’s Jared Goff led the offense incredibly well, with Jahmyr Gibbs finishing the score with a game-winning touchdown.

Dan Campbell’s team was impressive against Mayfield and his team, despite the quarterback being touted as a possible MVP candidate for this season. In his previous game, Mayfield was enthralled with chants of “MVP! MVP!” from the crowd as he won against the 49ers. However, his performance in this particular game was far from impressive.
Campbell was clearly proud of his team as he showered them with praise during his speech later on in the locker room. While Detroit’s offense was definitely incredible, credit needs to be given to the defense who limited the Bucs from chalking up on the scoreboard.

“How ‘bout the – defense, man. Holy crap, man. Listen 9 points allowed, 4/16 on third down, one interception, one fumble recovery, 252 yards allowed, man. That’s outstanding defense. Good job! Listen, we did what we had to do. There’s things we gotta clean up. But I tell you…defense, you play like that? You win every- game. That’s the bottom line. That’s outstanding. That’s the way to cut it loose. Just like we talked about, guys…”Dan Campbell said in the locker room to the Lions team.

Campbell also gave away three game balls, one for Jahmyr Gibbs, one for Jack Campbell and another one for Derrick Barnes. The coach was most particularly in praise for Barnes, who was out for the majority of the previous campaign as a result of a knee injury. However, in this season, Barnes seems to be doing pretty great and has established himself as a stellar part of the defense.
