The Detroit Lions have been one of the most surprising teams of the 2023 NFL Season.
After ending last year on a high note but missing the playoffs, the Lions have come out with a vengeance, starting the year with an 8-3 record.
One of the reasons they have found significant success is a complete buy-in from all their players.
Dan Campbell has encouraged his team to make the most of their opportunities, which has helped them believe more in themselves.
The most recent example was from a press conference shared via the Pride of Detroit.
In this conversation, Campbell indicated that Malcolm Rodriquez might have another chance to play two-way football this week against the New Orleans Saints.

Rodriquez was worked into the Lions’ offense last week, logging his first career reception.
Campbell must have liked what he saw, as he wanted to give him a more significant workload.
One of the reasons the Lions have done well this year is their willingness to take chances.
Campbell routinely goes for it on fourth down, especially in situations that do not go by the book.
He believes in his players making the plays he draws up, expressing the utmost confidence in them.
Rodriguez is one of the Lions’ top linebackers.
While he has earned Campbell’s respect and trust to make an additional impact on this team, he must also be careful.
With more snaps comes more chances for injuries, something that has been a common trend across the league this season.
Fans will soon see how Rodriguez is worked into the game plan and how he will respond to a more significant offensive role.
