Everything Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said after the win over the Packers

Here's everything Dan Campbell said after the Detroit Lions beat the Green Bay Packers 24-14 at Lambeau Field. Detroit improved its record to 7-1 and won six straight games.

Opening speech:

“Listen, good win, really good win. I'm proud of the way our boys played. They showed up. We talked about how the weather doesn't matter. What matters is that you play efficient football, that you do your best, that you finish it and take care of it and see if you can take something away. We made it. This is a good football team. We'll see her again next month but we're really proud of her. We knew it would be crucial to get two wins against two really good teams in this division; Minnesota and then this one, Green Bay, with them, so it was great to be able to do that. We had a number of people perform. I thought defensively, when we needed it most, it really showed up. We limited the points, kept them in the red zone and went off the field on third down. Just a lot of people making critical plays. Kerby's (Joseph) pick six was huge. It was a huge game just before halftime. Our offense did an excellent job offensively. We were able to execute it. We were pretty efficient. David Montgomery and Gibby (Jahmyr Gibbs) did it. I thought (Amon-Ra) St. Brown had a big game for us in the passing game. Goff played clean football, man. He got us on the right move. He was very efficient. I just have a lot of confidence in him, in what he does and how he plays. We turned the field around. Jack Fox turned the field around. We knew that was going to be a big deal for us, just the field position. So some people played well. It’s a great win and it puts us at seven.”

On Kerby Joseph's pick six:

“Yes, that’s him. He has a knack for it. He's a football player and that's one of the things we liked about him when he came out. He had some rawness about him, but he had ball skills and the ability to track the ball and we felt like he could continue to develop and become a pretty good safety in this league. He certainly did, and he's not done yet. He's not finished yet. That's what excites you. I kind of feel like he played pretty well anyway, but I wasn't surprised that he performed here. He makes plays here. So it was good.”

On Brian Branch's exclusion from the game:

“Yeah, look, you know as well as I do that it’s not me. The only explanation I got was that those guys (the referees) did a great job, Clete (Blakeman) and them. I have a lot of respect for what they do and they just said it was from New York so that's all I know about it. This is the first time since I've been head coach that I've been involved in something like this where someone was ejected. So I didn't see it. I don't know.”

What Branch can learn from the exclusion:

“Yes, I have to see it. I don't know. I'm assuming he hit his head. Definitely try to lower your target enough so that it doesn't come to that, but I never want to take away his aggressiveness and the skills that make him the player he is, but it doesn't help us if he The game is not available either. So I would tell him to just lower it, and that's something he'll have to get used to when playing prime time games. New York will be looking at all of this. They don't care about the one o'clock games. They give us primetime games. So understand the situation and we will manage it. He’ll be fine.”

On no sales in the elements:

“That was big. We knew that when we came in here. There were a number of things we talked about: superiority in the run game, we talked about explosives, as crazy as that sounds in this weather, but whoever came up with the most explosives, field position and turnover ratio. The fact that we took care of football. We've been preaching it all week. We made it. Wetball drills every day while training outdoors. Our guys really did a great job. Goff cared deeply about the football and that was the difference. It was a big difference.”

About Jared Goff's appearance:

“He played at such a high level and I know it’s not the same but we train outside. Thursday was just as windy as today. We haven't had any rain, so if we watch him in the elements for two days and throw him the way he did, we'll be fine. We just trust him completely and it worked out well for us.”

On Jared Goff's completion of 30 consecutive passes targeted at Amon-Ra St. Brown:

“The connection between these two is special. The two have been playing together for four, actually three and a half years now. It started around the middle of the 2021 season and has continued to evolve from there. If you're a quarterback, and we have a damn good one, but it's easy to throw him to a guy like St. Brown because he's open, has body control and balance, can separate, is quick, has playmaking speed, strong hands. His physical behavior tells you that if I'm the quarterback, you have a really good idea of ​​what he's doing. They've done it long enough that they can think without speaking. They know each other, know what they are preparing for and so on. It’s special and they make each other better.”

On the Lions' defensive performance:

“Yeah, that’s one of the things we talk about. There's an emphasis on that, and definitely you have to be able to take away the running game. Once you're in close quarters, it's all about helping each other. You play a little man that you have to cut off and help, and then the next man has to replace, which takes away the window the quarterback thinks he's getting. We managed that pretty well. We put a lot of work into it. We are doing a good job of limiting these points. We prevent people from getting seven there. That was one of the biggest differences in the game. We didn't let them score because you're right, they did it three times. It’s great work from a lot of people across the board.”

About winning in different ways:

“Yeah, every time you win you learn something from it and get better at winning. Learn. The hard thing about winning is that you learn the things you need to keep learning, but you can't ignore the things you don't do well. Just because you have a victory, you have to make sure that we identify the things that we need to clean up, otherwise we will be exposed. There are things, there is tape, there are things we need to clean up in a hurry and we will, but I know one thing, I'm not shocked one bit that we came here and played some pretty good football out there the elements. We are made for this man and it doesn't matter just because we play inside. It doesn't matter. We can play anywhere. We can play in the snow. We can play in the rain. Play in the mud. That’s just us, and we’re designed to win people.”
