But there’s a difference between being “aggressive” and being “irresponsible,” and some would argue that Campbell was more the latter late in a 20-19 loss to the Dallas Cowboys Saturday evening.

It’s one thing to call a fake punt deep in your own territory in the second quarter against the Cowboys, which Campbell and the Lions successfully did Saturday. It’s probably even smart — on the road with overtime potentially coming down to a coin toss — to call for a two-point conversion rather than kicking the game-tying extra point late in the fourth quarter.

Instead, without hesitation, Campbell had the Lions line up to run a two-point conversion needing seven yards, which is, frankly … insane. Even once do-it-all Dallas defender Micah Parsons jumped offsides allowing Detroit to move up half the distance to the goal, the odds say it’s just too much of a risk at the four-yard line to not kick the extra point.

“I told the offense that we were going down with 1:41 left … we were gonna go down and score … and then we were gonna go for two and finish this game out,” Campbell said postgame. “I told them that, and so that’s what we were doing.”

And that made sense at the two-yard line. Any deeper than that, though, wasn’t worth the risk.

“We were going for [the] win,” Campbell said emphatically when asked if the penalty made him second-guess going for two.
