Duce Staley understands the game at every level from his 10 seasons as an NFL running back, 10 more seasons as an assistant coach, and now as the Lions' assistant head coach and running backs coach.
"It's all about the little things," Staley said. "You have to make sure you continue to do the little things right. And a lot of that is just fundamental.
"The little things that start in practice show up in the game. You have to make sure as a coach you stay on top of that.
"We understand that going out there and making plays, that fuels emotion. You see guys having fun out there. They have fun making plays, but also, we want to win.
"These guys love football. If you're around a group of coaches that love football, their (players) can continue to grab the ax and keep chopping. That what they've been doing."
Going for two: Campbell didn't win on the scoreboard with the successful two-point conversion that gave the Lions the lead in the final minute of last week's loss to the Vikings, but he sent a message to his players and staff.
He's in it to win it.
"Aggressive," Staley said. "I loved it. Aggressive. It shows the players, along with the coaches, "Hey man, we're going to do whatever we think is right.
"At that moment in time, that was right. We executed it."
