Today Dan Campbell spoke to reporters about the week three loss to the Minnesota Vikings saying, “That will be there until the day I die”.
“It burns me. Of course, it burns me. That will be there until the day I die. That's not going to go away. It does. I also know I can't wallow in that and let that pull me down.”

Why it matters: Campbell readily took the blame for losing due to his risky decision to attempt a field goal with 1:14 left in the game. This was a mistake as Seibert missed and three plays later the Vikings took the lead and won the game. This obviously left a mark on Dan Campbell as he went on to say “It happened for a reason”.
“It is what it is and it happened for a reason and honestly, I think us losing five in a row is why we're at where we're at right now. That's kind of how I look at it. Maybe we needed this to happen to get to where we're at right now, at this point.”
