t Opinion: Detroit Lions analyst Lomas Brown is sharing his true feelings on Dan Campbell’s decision-making during the NFC Championship game.
The Detroit Lions‘ season concluded in disappointing fashion, surrendering their 24-7 lead to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game this past Sunday at Levi’s Stadium. As the 49ers advance to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, the Lions and their fans are left pondering what might have been. And now, former Lions star and current radio color analyst Lomas Brown is openly scrutinizing head coach Dan Campbell‘s choice in the game’s second half to forgo kicking a field goal on two fourth-down opportunities.
Detroit Lions analyst Lomas Brown disagrees with Dan Campbell’s decision-making
Brown openly expressed his disagreement with Campbell’s decision to once again embrace his nickname of “Dan Gamble.” Instead of opting for the safer route of kicking a field goal to secure three points, Campbell chose to attempt and convert a fourth-down opportunity, a choice that Brown didn’t see eye to eye with.
“I’m kicking it,” Brown said on the Don’t @ Me podcast with Dan Dakich.
“That’s why I got this guy on the team, my kicker. That’s why I have him there, for situations like this. To me, man, I’m trying to stem that momentum a little bit. I would’ve taken the points.”
While Brown acknowledged Campbell’s sentiment, he argued that playing it safe would have been a more sensible approach.
