GAME PLAYER
Campbell had a good all-around game that was the catalyst for a big performance from Detroit’s broken defense. The sophomore linebacker had five catches for 51 yards in the primary zone, but also added four stops in the passing game. On the run play, Campbell recorded another stop and didn’t miss.
