Not Gale Sayers Jersey only did the Lions fail to get points on the board, but they also failed to convert a single fourth down -- as Dan Campbell decided to go for it six times!The Lions finished 0 for 6 on fourth down against the Patriots, breaking the NFL record for most fourth down attempts without Tom Waddle Jersey converting a single first down in a game. Detroit broke the previous mark set by the 1995 New England Patriots, who went 0 for 5 on fourth down in a Week 6 game against the (New England lost 37-3). The NFL's fourth down conversation numbers date back to 1990.Campbell doesn't regret going for it on any of his attempts, even if the result hurt his team in the long run."Just with where it went, look, I wanted to be patient in that game," Campbell said Monday. Sherrick McManis Jersey "But I also know this shoot man, the first fourth-and-1, that was le s than half a yard, and we're running behind (Lions tackle Penei) Sewell, and it was (Lions guard) Logan (Stenberg), and I just and we're giving it to (Lions running back) Jamaal (Williams), I didn't I didn't second gue s that one bit, I would take that every day of the week, and we got stuffed on it Leonard Floyd Jersey ."And then, just knowing where we're at on the other fourth downs where it was playing out, I feel like that's what we needed to do." The Lions had four second half po Richard Dent Jersey se sions that ended in a turnover on downs. Detroit was trailing by double digits on each of the fourth down attempts, explaining Campbell's rationale to be aggre sive. Detroit averaged three yards on fourth down on Eddie Jackson Jersey those attempts, as threw incomplete pa ses on three of those attempts and lost a yard on a rush attempt.Nothing went right for the Lions Sunday, but Campbell doesn't base his aggre sivene s on analytics."I think that a lot of it is probably where I feel like the strength of our team is," Campbell said. "Yes, I'm a little more aggre sive by nature, Devin Hester Jersey but I also those fourth-and-1s, I trust our offensive line and Jamaal (Williams), not that you're always going to run it or hand it to him, it's hard not to... I thought those were all very manageable, the fourth-and-2s, the fourth-and-4s, the fourth-and-5s, or you know, fourth-and-goal at the five. " Anthony Miller Jersey I felt like because I love what (Lions Offensive Coordinator) Ben (Johnson) had in, I love the plays that we had. I like the design. I knew who we were throwing them to, and it didn't work out. So, that's kind of where that game ended up going."
