Head Coach Dan Campbell stated that the Detroit Lions have a new challenge following their historic NFC North
Championship win. The Lions defeated the Minnesota Vikings 30–24 on Christmas Eve to win their first division
title in thirty years. The club and its supporters were ecstatic and proud of this noteworthy accomplishment. But in
his Tuesday media briefing, Campbell emphasized a subtle but dangerous foe the team now has to face: complacency
bred of contentment.
“The satisfaction complacency is really our biggest opponent at the moment,” Campbell stated. From now on, it is
what we are going to fight about. They’ll understand that, too, as we have a meeting in a little while with some
intelligent guys. All of these questions are similar, so I can see why you would ask them and why it’s such a huge deal
—after all, it’s been thirty years. However, if we keep talking about it, respond to them, and stay in that moment, we
won’t get the next item.
Campbell went on, “And it’s really no different from what happens in the playoffs.”When a team wins a crucial
playoff game, they don’t have much time to celebrate because they have to prepare for the following game, which is

where we are right now. It’s a wonderful thing. We don’t have enough time to enjoy it, which is unfortunate. We must
desire more because we’re moving on to the next one. We must continue to be hungry in order to obtain the next one.
His remarks reveal a profound awareness that thinking only about the previous achievements can impede progress
in the future. He is keen to instill in his squad the importance of staying focused and having a drive for greater
accomplishments.
