Coach Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions played out a familiar scene at Ford Field in Week 7 as a fourth down gamble went awry against the Packers. Campbell explained his two reasons for going for it on a day when the Lions brought home a 20-17 win and Jahmyr Gibbs shared his thoughts on what transpired.

Gibbs failed to get the first down, leading to his NSFW take afterward.

“I was like, oh s**t,” Gibbs said. “But I mean, we could've gotten that. We just had a mis-ID or something…I was surprised, but when I thought about it I was like, ‘Ah, (screw) it,” the Lions running back said.

The Lions got huge games on offense and defense from its myriad stars including Brian Branch, who reacted to his game-changing interception after the game. Lions kicker Jake Bates has become one of the NFL's most clutch players, a distinction he backed up against the Packers with the game on the line. Bates hit the winning field goal, sending Ford Field into a state of pandemonium.

The Lions' fourth down gamble didn't pay off, but it emboldened Campbell's team at a time when they needed some extra confidence. Campbell said afterward that he felt the Lions would get the ball back at some point, and he was right. Both Detroit and Green Bay were shorthanded with the Lions missing Kerby Joseph and the Packers without Micah Parsons, but good football was played by both sides, and Gibbs was a huge part of it.
