Dan Campbell says Detroit Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp is frustrated

Heading into the 2022 season, the best-case scenario was that the Detroit Lions would get off to a hot start, they would remain healthy, and they could eventually weather the storm enough to put themselves in a position to challenge for a playoff spot.

Unfortunately, the best-case-scenario is out the window and, instead, the worst-case scenario is a more accurate evaluation of how the season has gone as the Lions are off to a 1-4 start.

What did Dan Campbell say about Sheila Ford Hamp being frustrated?

On Monday, Lions head coach Dan Campbell spoke to the media and he said that Lions’ owner Sheila Ford Hamp is “naturally frustrated” but that she understands the direction the team is heading.

Campbell added that Ford Hamp is “all-in” and that “she believes in what Brad (Holmes) and I are doing.”

What’s next for the Detroit Lions?

Up next for the Detroit Lions, as they come out of their bye week, is a tough road matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. As it stands, the Cowboys are a solid home favorite and there is no question that the Lions will have their work cut out for them.

If the Lions are to escape Dallas with a win, it will be the first road win for Campbell as the Lions’ head coach.

Following the Lions’ game against the Cowboys, they will head back home for back-to-back matchups against the Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers.
