Given how the team’s 2023 campaign concluded, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell seems to be aiming high for the 2024 campaign.
During an appearance on NBC Sports’ “PFT Live,” star Lions pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson shared the message that Campbell delivered to him during the team’s exit meetings. Hutchinson, doing a fantastic impression of Campbell, claimed that Campbell made it apparent that the intention is to participate in the Super Bowl the next year.

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell appears to be setting his sights high for the 2024 season after how the team’s 2023 campaign ended.
Star Lions pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson made an appearance on NBC Sports’ “PFT Live” and revealed the message Campbell gave him during the team’s exit meetings. With an excellent Campbell impersonation, Hutchinson said Campbell made it clear that the goal is to play in the Super Bowl next year.
“In our exit meetings the day after, he’s like, ‘We’re going to the Super Bowl next year. Screw it. I don’t care what it takes,’” Hutchinson said.
Campbell has plenty of reason to be fired up. The Lions were up 17 points on the San Francisco 49ers at halftime of the NFC Championship, but things went wrong for him and the team in the second half. Based on how close they came this season, that is a realistic goal, and one the rest of the organization appears committed to.
