"When you see your players give all that they have, and you lose that way, it's tough. You don't want that for them," Campbell said. "But we'll be better for it, and credit Minnesota. But we made the one mistake that cost us. So, ultimately, we didn't do enough to win. But I was proud of them, and I love the fight they have in them, and I love the grit."
The Lions were down 10 points with less than 3 minutes to go in the game, but Detroit scored 11 straight points, including a successful two-point conversion, to take a 17-16 lead with a minute left.
