Lions coach Dan Campbell has managed to strike the perfect balance between winning and keeping Detroit fans on the edge of their seats this season.
On one hand, the Lions are 7-2 this season—a record that would constitute their highest winning percentage since they went 11-3 in 1962. At the same time, Detroit has attempted 22 fourth-down conversions this season—tied with the Giants for most in the NFL.
In the wake of another Lions thriller—a 41-38 road win over the Chargers on Sunday—Campbell offered sage advice Tuesday morning on how to cope with his affinity for taking risks.

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has a “long way to go” before making a decision on whether to return to the Longhorns in 2024 or enter the NFL draft, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Thamel’s report came on the heels of On3‘s Inside Texas and Rivals‘ Orangebloods.com furnishing stories suggesting that Ewers was leaning heavily towards a return to school next season.
Geoff Ketchum of Orangebloods.com specifically referenced Ewers’s draft stock in his report on the quarterback’s potential return to school.
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I can’t believe how poorly this season is going for the Bills.

What’s wrong with Josh Allen?
The Bills are in serious danger of missing the playoffs—and Josh Allen is a big reason why.
It sounds like there’s a real chance Texas Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers isn’t playing his last season in Austin.
Ewers and the Longhorns are sitting at 9-1, and are currently ranked seventh in the nation. There’s a very real chance Texas could be playing in the College Football Playoff.
The talented passer has also been having a great season, despite missing time with an injury. He has 2,232 passing yards, 14 passing touchdowns, a 78.4 QBR and four interceptions in eight games.

The curse is real!
Just when it seemed like the infamous “Madden Curse” was dead, it’s come groaning back to live like a zombie. Josh Allen is playing horrific football (by his standards) for seemingly no reason, and everyone is looking for the root cause.
It was in front of us all along.
The long-standing NFL superstition seemed like it was gone after Pat Mahomes graced the cover of Madden 22, and went on to have a slightly down season, but it was a huge stretch to say he was “cursed.
Rory McIlroy is planning on moving back to the UK on a permanent basis, reversing the trend of British superstars upping sticks to sunnier, not to mention more tax-efficient, climes.
Buccaneers star wide receiver Mike Evans and Titans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair shared a cool moment on the field during Sunday’s game between the two squads.
Al-Shaair has one of the most powerful background stories of any player in the NFL: He grew up in Tampa and spent time in Section 8 housing after his parents divorced, then became homeless during high school after a fire. He then lived out of a motel and spent hours each day commuting to school to keep playing football.
Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has struggled mightily in his third NFL season, including a rough performance in Stuttgart, Germany, against the Colts on Sunday.
Jones threw an interception late in the game, helping to seal a loss that dropped New England to 2-8 on the season. He also was benched in favor of Bailey Zappe for the last drive of the game, leaving his status as the team’s starter in question.
As the Patriots enter their bye week, head coach Bill Belichick isn’t committing to Jones as the starter when the team returns to action on Nov. 26.
A mistake-filled game by the Bills culminated in an “inexcusable” penalty for having too many players on the field Monday night against the Broncos.
