Summary
41-31 was the final score Thursday night, and Dan Campbell said Detroit "wasn't good enough," singling out the secondary and broader defensive breakdowns after the loss to Buffalo.
Campbell said the Lions have "a lot of room to grow" in Week 2, framing the defeat as an early-season correction point rather than a larger setback.
Three extra days before Week 3 give Detroit more time to prepare for the Jets, with Campbell saying the team must improve in all three phases and expects it will.
Campbell also put responsibility on himself and his staff, saying Buffalo was better prepared and that both the Lions' play and coaching needed to be cleaner.
