How to Watch Lions vs. Buccaneers: Time, Channel, Streaming Options
The Detroit Lions' defense must remain patient against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense that is more than willing to take what the defense gives it.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell was asked how to disrupt the offensive rhythm of a team that relies on a significant amount of check downs.
“I think it’s, just like they’re being patient, we have to be patient," said Campbell. "We have to continue to give him (Tampa Bay QB Baker Mayfield) the check down. Everything’s top down. He wants to check down, good, and then we’ve got to rally, we’ve got to tackle, we’ve got to get a ball out. The longer these drives go, I think it really, in some degree, can fall into the favor of the defense.
"You start getting into some long ones, that’s where you have the ability to get one out. You can’t get frustrated, you can’t worry about it," Campbell explained further. "They get a first down, they get a five-yarder, they get a six-yarder, just keep playing every play, man. It could be play 14 on the 10-yard line, going in, and we get one out or we get an interception. I think that’s the most important thing with an opponent like this, and the way Baker’s playing, the way they’re playing the game right now, when they win.”
