Lions HC Dan Campbell Reveals Major Drake Maye Concern Before Patriots Clash
Lions head coach Dan Campbell explained his top concern about the Patriots' "dangerous" quarterback Drake Maye.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is treating the team's upcoming NFL game in Munich, Germany, against the New England Patriots with utmost seriousness, despite quarterback Drake Maye's recent struggles with turnovers. The Lions are currently on a four-game winning streak, positioning them in a strong position to challenge the Chicago Bears for the top spot in the NFC North.
During Friday's press conference in Munich, Campbell was asked about Maye's interceptions and their impact on the Lions' game plan. However, Coach Campbell expressed that he was more concerned about Maye's ability to throw long, dangerous passes. He emphasized that while there have been interceptions, Maye has shown the capability to hit 40-yard and 50-yard touchdown passes, making him particularly dangerous when given more than four seconds to construct his throws.
Campbell noted Maye's danger outside the pocket, describing him as "absolutely deadly" with his passing ability. The article also highlights Maye's performance in the recent week 9 loss to the Green Bay Packers, where he threw three interceptions in a 45-27 defeat. Despite Detroit recording six interceptions, including two by Chuck Clark, Campbell remains aware of Maye's potential threats.
The Lions, currently holding the worst pass defense in the league, allowing opponents an average of 260.9 yards per game, will face the Patriots in Munich on Sunday, November 15, at approximately 9:30 a.m. ET.
