THE Detroit Lions have not lost consecutive games since the start of the 2022 season.

Since a 1-6 start that year, the Lions suffered a tear that propelled them to become one of the best teams in the NFL. Now, after losing to the Buffalo Bills, they will have the task of avoiding a second straight loss on Sunday against the Bears.

After facing the adversity they experienced throughout the last week, the Lions are now eager to bounce back despite losing four players to injury last week.

Detroit has preached next man up throughout Campbell’s tenure as head coach, and Sunday will be no different as the group deals with the losses of Alim McNeill, Khalil Dorsey, Carlton Davis and David Montgomery.

“That’s right. This is what we’ve been building for for four years now. It’s part of who we are. It’s next man up, and we don’t live and breathe a player here, of a player there,” Campbell said on FOX-2 Game Day Live. “And we have a lot of guys on defense to make plays, we have a lot of good offensive players to make plays. So we’ll be fine if we stay the course.
