Dan Campbell gives a chilling speech to lions after beating the cowboys

Go ahead, Dallas, there’s a new America’s Team and it’s the Motor City Kitties.

After outscoring the Cowboys 47-9 and using offensive and defensive linemen as wide receivers and ball carriers for fun, Detroit head coach Dan Campbell gave one of those locker room speeches that steals the hearts and minds of Americans who want. root for a great story.

“This is the tightest group in this group. We found something special last year, guys. I felt it going into this game,” Campbell said of his 4-1 team after a game in which his offense could have beaten Dallas by 60 to decrease. “Man, it’s like we’re here together and I don’t feel like people are pulling us away. Nobody gets out of that circle, guys. And that’s exactly where you want to be right now.

‘That’s a great victory. You haven’t let off the gas. That’s one way to finish it.’

What started as a meme – Dan Campbell was the cliche of the meathead who dropped, bit their kneecaps, a snake oil salesman hired to save the Lions – has now become a model for how wrestling franchises wished they looked would see.

Now that the team is proving that last year wasn’t a fluke, people are definitely starting to pay attention.

“I’ve said it before I say it again. As a Ravens fan, I can’t help but love the energy of this team. You guys are amazing. I hope to see you in the Super Bowl! Much love,” wrote an NFL fan on Twitter.

“I would hire him in a heartbeat for any leadership role,” said another who watched Campbell’s post-game speech.

It’s universal. Dan Campbell has America’s attention and they love the energy and positive atmosphere.

“I’m not a Lions fan, but I certainly support all of you in the NFC this year. It’s so cool to see you guys found a coach to change the culture. He’s clearly loved and doing a good job. Kudos for you and your HC!” one self-proclaimed Jets and Jags fan tweeted.

The results of the Dan Campbell experiment speak for themselves

This morning, on the cover of the Dallas Morning News, the sports department summed up Sunday in two words: “Humiliating loss.”

With 12 minutes left in the 4th quarter and trailing 47-9, Mike McCarthy told Dak Prescott his day was over. The poor man didn’t stand a chance against the Lions.

Cooper Rush was brought in and Jerry Jones celebrated his 82nd birthday by seeing his $240 million QB sitting on the sideline after going 17 of 33 for 178 yards and two INTs.

How great are things for Campbell and the Kitties right now?

Tom Brady is officially on the bandwagon.

“The way the culture of that team is, it’s a team that everyone is paying attention to right now. The Lions are a tough team to beat,” Brady said on Fox’s postgame show.

Now comes the biggest challenge of the year for Detroit. Can they go into Minnesota and beat Sam Darnold and the 5-0 Vikings to start the journey to winning the brutal NFC North?

The Lions will be without Aidan Hutchinson, who broke a tibia in Sunday’s game.

But in true Detroit Lions fashion, the team and fans are already rallying behind a “Do it for Hutch” campaign that addresses the lore of “biting off their kneecaps” and other rallying cries that made Campbell and Detroit a team. America can get behind it.
