Detroit won the game 29-27 on a touchdown pass from Jared Goff to Amon-Ra St. Brown on the final play and improved to 1-10-1 on the season.

Campbell and the Lions aren't the only athletes from the state of Michigan who honored Oxford this week.

The Michigan Wolverines wore a patch during Saturday's Big Ten Championship Game with four blue hearts in recognition of the four students who were killed in the shooting: Hana St. Juliana, Madisyn Baldwin, Justin Shilling and Tate Myre.

The patch also had the initials "TM" and "42" to honor Myre, who played football for his school:

Aya Elamroussi of CNN reported at least 30 shots were fired during the shooting. The attack wounded six other students and a teacher in addition to the students who were killed.

Ethan Crumbley has been charged with first-degree murder and terrorism, among other charges.
