In this week’s episode of the Secondhand Lions Podcast, John Drennan and Bill Radford break down one of the most talked-about coaching decisions in the NFL: Dan Campbell secretly taking over the offensive play-calling in the Detroit Lions’ explosive win over the Washington Commanders.

With 530+ total yards, breakout performances from Jameer Gibbs and Jameson Williams, and a totally revitalized offensive identity, the Lions looked like a different team—and fans everywhere noticed.

We cover:

• Dan Campbell taking the play-calling sheet from OC Johnny Morton
• Jameer Gibbs’ massive day (170+ total yards) and WR Jamo going 6-for-6 before the late drop
• Why the Lions’ offense suddenly looks unstoppable
• PFF grades: Who dominated and who struggled on offense and defense
• Concerns about the defensive line and special teams
• Jack Campbell’s No. 1 defensive grade in the entire NFL
• How the Lions’ rookie class (Gibbs, Campbell, Branch, LaPorta) might be the best draft haul in franchise history
• Eagles breakdown: Hertz, Barkley, A.J. Brown, matchups, and where Detroit can exploit weaknesses
• Predictions for Lions vs. Eagles (Both hosts choose 24–20 Detroit)
• Prime-time performance, rest advantages, injury notes, and playoff implications
