Summary
Jack Campbell fought back tears after Detroit’s 41-31 loss to Buffalo, saying “it’s on me” and calling his own play unacceptable.
446 yards and 41 points allowed drove that reaction, with Campbell saying the Lions’ run defense failed because players did not get off blocks or do their jobs.
The linebacker said Buffalo did nothing unusual schematically, framing the collapse as poor execution rather than a game-plan surprise.
Detroit now gets extra time before games against the Jets, Panthers and Cardinals, a stretch that could steady a team already allowing 30-plus points in both games.
