The Detroit Lions suffered a 20-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with head coach Dan Campbell taking full responsibility for a critical mismanagement at the end of the first half. Trailing 13-6, the Lions failed to capitalize on a scoring opportunity due to a penalty for having too many men on the field, which resulted in a 10-second runoff that ended the half. Despite leading 16-13 in the second half, the Lions could not secure a win after failing to score on their final three possessions. Campbell's decision to forgo a 59-yard field goal attempt early in the fourth quarter also raised eyebrows, as the team later needed touchdowns instead of field goals. Players expressed respect for Campbell's accountability, noting it fosters team unity. Ultimately, the Lions missed a chance to win, having to settle for a touchdown rather than a field goal due to their earlier mistakes.
