It was one of the most confusing moments in the NFL this season. During the Detroit Lions’ game against NFC North rivals the Vikings, head coach Dan Campbell ordered a 54-yard field goal attempt late in the game which made zero sense, and the Lions lost it.

So, does Campbell remember that moment? Of course.

“Look, it burns me,” Campbell said during a press conference with reporters this week. “Of course it burns me. That’ll be there till the day I die. I mean, that’s not going to go away.”

The Lions had a 10-point fourth quarter lead during that Sept. 25 game to the Vikings, but in the end, they lost. It could be the game that determines if they make the playoffs, to boot.

“There’s little things that’ll always (eat at me),” Campbell said. “That’s the way I am. And they’re not going to pull me down but there’s things that I’ll never forget because that to me is, that’s — I let my players down. And it’s hard enough to have success and to win in this league without your coach doing something that pulls you back and I felt like that was one of those.”

As the field goal story goes, after failing to get a fourth-and-1 midway in the fourth quarter of the Lions-Vikings game, Campbell had Austin Seibert attempt a 54-yard field goal with the Lions leading, 24-21, and just 1:14 on the clock. Seibert missed it, and the Vikings picked up their next possession at their own 44-yard line. The rest is history, as Kirk Cousins threw a touchdown pass to KJ Osborn, and Minnesota won.

While it was a rough lesson, Campbell is reflective and says the Lions have learned from that adversity.

“I mean, it is what it is and it happened for a reason,” he said. “And honestly, I think that us losing five in a row is why we’re where we’re at right now. So that’s kind of how I look at it, maybe we needed this to happen to get to where we’re at right now at this point.”
