Lions Coach Makes Media Explode With Just Six Words

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell had the media cackling with just a few words.

The Lions have a first round bye in the NFL playoffs after earning the top seed in the NFC in the final week of the regular season.

Detroit now gets to sit back and rest while the rest of the league battles it out.

Dan Campbell drops awesome line about bye week plans.

How does a coach who is constantly consumed with football handle a week off? Dan Campbell needed just six words to spin people up into a frenzy.

"I'll have to drink the game," Campbell told the media while laughing. It didn't take long at all for the media to follow his lead and also busted out laughing.
