Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell admits that the team's run game efficiency sometimes baffles him as they work to improve it.
Flint Saginaw Bay City, MI, October 27, 2026 —
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said the team’s run game efficiency sometimes baffles him as the Lions work to improve it. The available information does not specify what aspects of the efficiency have puzzled Campbell or describe the steps the team is taking.
No statistics, game examples or timeframe were provided, so the extent of the issue cannot be quantified from the information available. The summary also does not include a direct quotation from Campbell, details about when or where he made the comments, or an explanation of what the team has identified as contributing to the challenge.
The report establishes two points: Campbell has acknowledged that the run game’s efficiency can be difficult to understand, and improving it is a focus for the team. It does not say whether the concern relates to particular plays, players or situations, nor does it provide a measure of progress.
Without further details, the comments offer a limited account of the Lions’ effort to improve their running game. The contractor’s name was not provided.
