Adam Schefter: Coach Campbell, thanks for joining us today. The Lions are coming off an intense week, and you’re about to face a Browns team that’s been practicing relentlessly. How’s the energy inside your locker room right now?
Dan Campbell: Thanks, Adam. The energy is high. Our guys have been locked in all week, and I love the way they’ve been attacking practice. This group understands the challenge ahead, and they’re embracing it.
Adam Schefter: The Browns have one of the most physical defenses in the league. How are you preparing your offense to handle that pressure on Sunday?
Dan Campbell: It’s all about execution and discipline. They’re aggressive, they play downhill, and they thrive on forcing mistakes. We’ve stressed fundamentals with our offensive line and making sure our quarterback has the protection and quick reads he needs. It won’t be easy, but we’re ready for that kind of battle.
Adam Schefter: On the flip side, your defense has been gaining recognition for its toughness and versatility. What’s your key focus in containing the Browns’ offense?
Dan Campbell: For us, it starts with stopping the run. Cleveland can control the game on the ground if you let them. We’ve got to be gap-sound, and we’ve got to tackle well. If we do that, we can force them into longer third downs and play our style of football.
Adam Schefter: A lot of fans and analysts are calling this matchup a real test of character. What do you want to see most from your team on Sunday?
Dan Campbell: I want to see resilience. We know it’s going to be four quarters of tough football. There will be momentum swings, and the team that stays composed and keeps fighting will come out on top. That’s who we want to be, and that’s the standard we’re holding ourselves to.
Adam Schefter: Last question, Coach. Lions fans have been buzzing with excitement all season long. Do you have a message for them heading into this weekend?
Dan Campbell: Absolutely. We feel your energy every single game, home or away. Keep bringing it, because it fuels us. We’ll give you everything we’ve got on Sunday.
Adam Schefter: Coach Campbell, thank you for your time. Best of luck against the Browns this Sunday.
Dan Campbell: Thanks, Adam. Appreciate it.
