Lions head coach Dan Campbell spoke to the media Monday a day after his team's impressive 44-22 win on the road in Washington.
Here are all the key questions to come out of Campbell's Monday press conference:
What stood out to Campbell in all three phases after going through the tape?
Offense: Detroit's offensive line played 'big time ball,' according to Campbell, as that unit did not allow a sack or a tackle for loss and plowed the way for 546 yards of total offense. Campbell said everyone will receive a game ball for the way the entire unit played Sunday.
Defense: Campbell liked the performance overall but said there were some opportunities where they were in position to make more plays and didn't. He said they'll have to finish better in Philadelphia next week against a dangerous Eagles offense with great skill players. Campbell commended the performances of defensive tackle Roy Lopez, safety Brian Branch, linebacker Jack Campbell, cornerback Rock Ya-Sin and cornerback Terrion Arnold.
Special teams: It was an overall better effort collectively from special teams than the week prior vs. Minnesota. Detroit allowed one big kickoff return but overall Campbell was impressed with the units. He shouted out linebacker Jack Campbell, linebacker Grant Stuard, linebacker Trevor Nowaske and running back Sione Vaki for their individual performances on teams.
How did Campbell evaluate his offensive play calling?
Overall, he thought it went well and he praised the collaboration during the week and on Sunday from his offensive coaches, particularly offensive coordinator John Morton. He said there were instances Sunday where some players bailed him out of a call, but overall it went well.
Campbell really praised Jared Goff and the amount of information he can process in Year 10 and how that makes things so much easier on his end. It also challenges Campbell moving forward to be on on top of it because if he's not, Goff will require he is.
Calling the plays means Campbell is also going to lean more on defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard and his defensive coaches to handle the load on that side of the ball. Campbell said Sheppard has earned that trust. Detroit currently ranks seventh in total defense and 10th in scoring defense following Week 10.
How easy is it to love the way Jameson Williams plays the game?
Williams loves football and that love for the game and his teammates is infectious, Campbell said. Williams had a big game Sunday with six receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown. He is averaging 17.9 yards per reception this season, which is third highest in the NFL.
Campbell said Williams has an unbridled amount of energy that others feed off of, and Williams will do anything on the football field to see both his teammates and himself have success. Campbell has spoken in the past how much he loves Williams, his game and his love for ball.
What's the initial preview of Sunday's matchup in Philadelphia against the Super Bowl champion Eagles?
It was good for the offense to get into a rhythm and get things going this week against the Commanders but Philadelphia's defense, particularly their front seven, pose a different challenge than what Detroit faced in Washington.
Defensively, the Lions must finish better and make more of the plays they were in position to make against the Commanders and didn't make.
Overall, Campbell said it's one of those games where they know coming in that they must be hitting on all cylinders in all three phases to come away with a win. It should be a great matchup Sunday night between two NFC heavyweights.
Is there any update on Arnold?
He left Sunday's game with a concussion and Campbell confirmed Monday he's now in the return-to-play concussion protocol.
