DETROIT (AP) — Dan Campbell’s passion has been on display since the moment he was hired as coach of the Detroit Lions, famously saying at his opening news conference nearly three years ago that his teams would kick in teeth and bite kneecaps of opponents.Campbell has screamed with joy, and shed tears, after wins and losses.And he has never looked and sounded as fired up as he was on Monday.“ I’ve got controlled fury and I’m ready to go,” Campbell said.Roughly 36 hours after a disputed call at Dallas led to a loss that took away a shot at the top seed in the NFC, Campbell insisted he had moved on and said players would do the same as they prepare for the regular-season finale.“I’ve got pure octane right now,” Campbell said. “I woke up. I’m ready, so we’re moving forward.”Looking back was not part of Campbell’s plan at his weekly news conference.In an opening statement that lasted 2 minutes, 10 seconds, he did not address the negated 2-point conversion caught by offe...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:38:47 GMT

Quincy Williams insists the New York Jets still have something to play for.Sure, they’ll enter the season finale at New England with double-digit losses for the fourth straight year and without a playoff appearance in 13 consecutive years. But ending that pesky 15-game skid against their AFC East rivals would certainly send them into the offseason on a positive note.“The motivation and the vibes around the locker room is going 1-0 this week,” Williams said Monday. “This week, it’s special because it’s a big game, because we play the Patriots. I think the goal is breaking the losing streak, honestly. “So with it being the last game, most people (usually) already have their minds set on like their vacation and stuff. It’s not that way in the locker room. So I’m actually excited about that.”The most recent time the Jets (6-10) beat the Patriots (4-12) was in Week 16 of the 2015 season when New York won 26-20 on Ryan Fitzpatrick’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Eric Decker i...
