“There’s a number of teams, some of the better teams, Seattle for years – this is what they do, they know exactly what they do (in the red zone), they know their own weaknesses and good luck trying to exploit them,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said of what Detroit has to do better defensively in the red zone in 2022. “Even though you know where the holes are, so do they, and they’re really good at it. Some other teams, they mixed up their coverages and you could never get a good beat on what they were.
