Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has big expectations for his offense. After an explosive 52-6 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Campbell was asked whether he thinks the Lions offense is as good as some of the best offenses in NFL history. His response was a confident “yes.”
“I think we have that ability, I really do,” Campbell stated. “We have everything we need to be potent, and I feel like we’re well-rounded.”

Campbell pointed to the strengths across the board: the physicality of the offensive line, the power and speed in the backfield with David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, and the explosiveness of the receiving corps with players like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Most importantly, Campbell acknowledged the steady leadership of Jared Goff, who has been the catalyst for the offense’s success this season.
“We can play the game anyway we need to,” Campbell continued. “As long as we’re on our stuff, we’re on our game, and we’re locked in, and we’re finishing, we can do that.”
The Lions’ offense has been a powerhouse in 2024, and it’s easy to see why Campbell feels confident in their ability to compete at the highest level. With an elite running game, a diverse and dynamic passing attack, and a quarterback in Goff who is playing at an MVP-caliber level, the Lions offense has the potential to reach historic heights.
Campbell’s belief that his offense is capable of greatness speaks volumes about the talent on this roster. The combination of veteran leadership, young playmakers, and depth at nearly every position makes the Lions’ offense one of the most dangerous units in the league.
As the Lions push for a deep playoff run, Campbell’s confidence in his offense may prove to be a key factor in the team’s success. If they continue to execute at the level they have been, this offense could be remembered as one of the NFL’s all-time greats.
Up next, the Lions face a critical Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, where the offense will look to continue its dominant play. With Campbell’s belief in their abilities, there’s no telling just how high the Lions can soar this season.
