Lions HC Dan Campbell worried about ‘hype train’

Many have already crowned the Detroit Lions as the favorite to win the NFC North ahead of the 2023 campaign and this worries head coach Dan Campbell.

Speaking with reporters on the first day of training camp this week, Campbell said he’s concerned about the “hype train” behind the Lions, who are searching for their first division title since 1993. 

“I mean, as with most coaches, this thing is just taking off and it’s out of control right now and that’s fine, as long as we stay focused on the job at hand the work,” Campbell said. “I just keep going back to that. We’ve got to put the work in and earn it.”
