Dan Campbell’s message to the Lions changed quickly after NFC Championship loss

Many were surprised when Lions coach Dan Campbell told reporters that his message to the team after losing to the 49ers was that it might have been their only shot at a Super Bowl appearance. Among the surprised was edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson.In a Thursday conversation with PFT Live, Hutchinson said that Campbell's message quickly changed."I think he as we all were emotional after that game," Hutchinson said. "I don't know if he meant those things completely because in our exit meetings the day after, he's like, 'We're going to the Super Bowl next year!' Like, 'Screw it!' Like, 'I don't care what it takes!' Because I feel like I was - you kind of hear that after the game and you get a little discouraged because you're like, 'Do you think that was our only shot?'"Hutchinson believes it ultimately was a result of the gut punch Campbell was feeling."I think it was just an emotional thing," Hutchinson said. "I get it because it's like you have this 22-week season and you're so close and you just miss out. You're like, 'God, it took a lot to get here,' but I understand. The next day, he kind of came in. He gave us this speech that we're like, we're all ready to play again right now....
