According to Alex Anzalone, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell urged the entire team to watch this year’s Super Bowl. Though the pain of losing to the San Francisco 49ers is still obviously fresh for Lions players, Campbell believed watching the entire game could provide motivation for next season.
“No, you gotta watch it, man,” Campbell said, per Anzalone. “Use every second of it as motivation. I’ll sure as hell be watching.”
So did the players listen? It’s hard to know for sure, but a few of them were live tweeting while the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the 49ers 25-22 in overtime.
