The Detroit Lions had their worst rushing performance since 2016 and allowed their most rushing yards of the season.
Ahead of its Christmas Day date at the Minnesota Vikings, Lions head coach Dan Campbell discussed Detroit's defensive woes over the last five weeks.
The Detroit Lions needed a win vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday and that didn’t happen. Their odds of now making the playoffs after being last year’s No. 1 seed in the NFC are virtually zero. Head coach Dan Campbell’s wife Holly Campbell’s insane silver fit may be the only “silver’ lining in the bad loss.
Instead, referees whistled St. Brown for offensive pass interference in the Lions' 29-24 loss, a setback that puts playoff hopes in dire straits. With 22 seconds left earlier in the possession, officials also hit Detroit's Isaac TeSlaa for pass interference after setting a pick for St. Brown, taking Goff's 1-yard scoring toss off the board.
Jared Goff and Dan Campbell have refused to blame the officials after the Detroit Lions were penalized two times in the final 22 seconds of a 29-24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers — with each flag negating a go-ahead touchdown.
