In the wake of the Detroit Lions' NFC Championship Game loss to the San Francisco 49ers, head coach Dan Campbell has faced intense scrutiny and criticism for his decisions. However, one player, right tackle Penei Sewell, is coming to Campbell's defense and expressing unwavering support.

During the Pro Bowl weekend in Florida, Sewell made it clear that he strongly disagrees with any criticism directed towards Coach Campbell. "I don't agree with any criticism towards coach. I've got his back until the end," Sewell asserted in an interview with ESPN.

Sewell, one of the team's top talents and an All-Pro right tackle, went on to express his admiration and respect for Campbell. Despite a regrettable late run call in the red zone that cost the Lions a crucial timeout, Campbell has not shown any signs of faltering in his decision-making process.

The Lions players also appear to have no qualms with Campbell's decision-making. They are standing firmly behind their head coach, indicating a strong bond and unity within the team.

Criticism of Coach Campbell has persisted in various discussions surrounding the Lions' recent loss. On a radio guest spot in Texas, multiple questions were raised about Campbell's perceived "mistakes." However, Sewell's unwavering support serves as a testament to the trust and faith the Lions players have in their head coach.

As the Lions continue to reflect on their NFC Championship Game loss and prepare for future seasons, it is evident that the players remain confident in Campbell's leadership. The bond between Sewell and Campbell, along with the backing of the rest of the team, signals a unified front as they move forward and strive for success.
