The Detroit Lions are looking towards the remainder of their 2024 season with optimism and Dan Campbell's coaching and players like Jahmyr Gibbs' application on the field is a major reason for that. The NFC North franchise has struggled for years to make themselves relevant with multiple losing seasons and heartbreaks a continuous feature that was broken by their run to the conference championship game in 2023.

Amidst this unprecedented serenity, it looks as if Jahmyr Gibbs might have made a serious mistake when he posted a photograph on social media that gave away some of the details about their play calls. Dan Campbell was asked about that and it transpired that the head coach did not know about that. Once he did, though, it was his reaction that will worry the running back.

He promised to address it and cut short the press conference with a curt 'thanks'. It looked like Dan Campbell was not too pleased with what he heard about Jahmyr Gibbs and fans on social media were sure that the player would face consequences because of his actions. They took to X/Twitter to voice their opinions and here are some samples.

Some said that this does not mean that Jahmyr Gibbs will not feature next Thursday against the Packers and this is just a clever ruse by Dan Campbell to throw their divisional rivals off course. Here are some responses that explore that angle.

"Would they really bench their best rb in a division game against the packers with the Vikings only one game behind them just to prove a point? Is any of that information even useful?" - wondered one.
"imagine it’s all a set up and they using it to trick teams" - said another.
"Give this guy an Oscar" - commented another about the head coach's demeanor.

Dan Campbell previously critical of Jahmyr Gibbs after TD celebrations versus Colts

This is not the first time Dan Campbell has had reason to be displeased with Jahmyr Gibbs. In their game against the Colts this year, the running back scored a touchdown and taunted his opponents picking up a 15-yard penalty. The head coach had then said:

“I tell our guys, ‘Hey, as long as you don’t cost us 15. I’m good with whatever they do. So they have fun with it, they are creative, they like to push the boundaries of whatever those are. I know our guys have fun with it and I think that’s important. They enjoy it, so it’s all good.”

It looks like the player has again been a bit careless when having fun and could end up costing him and the team in the coming week.
