Dan Campbell Feels Lions 'Can Beat Anybody' in NFL Amid 7-1 Record in 2024

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is confident in his squad.

While Campbell was hesitant to call the Lions the best team in the league, he still believed that they're capable of beating any opponent in the NFL.

"It's hard to say," Campbell said, per Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. "Certainly, I feel like we can beat anybody in the league. That's what it's about."

The Lions improved to 7-1 following a 24-14 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Campbell's team also owns the best record in the NFC, as Detroit appears poised to make the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time since 1995.

The Lions have been especially dominant as of late, outscoring their opponents 154-66 over the past four weeks.

Detroit was nearly on the verge of its first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history last season, narrowly falling to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game by the final score of 34-31.

With San Francisco sitting at 4-4 through eight contests, the team that handed the Lions their last playoff loss might not make the postseason.

Similar to 2023, Detroit has been led by a two-headed monster in the backfield as well as a stellar defense. David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs have continued to establish themselves as one of the best running back duos in the NFL, combining for 1,144 yards on the ground and 326 yards through the air. They've scored seven touchdowns each.

Detroit also owns the league's sixth-ranked scoring defense. While star pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season, the Lions have still gone 3-0 since he suffered a fractured left tibia and fibula against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6.

Campbell's group will attempt to maintain its status at the top of the conference and move to 8-1 against the Houston Texans on Sunday.
