The wide receiver of the Detroit Lions, Amon-Ra St. Brown, wanted the NFL rules to change. But first, what was the NFL rule? The 14-2 Detroit Lions were to play against the 14-2 Minnesota Vikings on January 6, 2025. Whoever won got a bye week and home-field advantage along the length and breadth of the NFC playoffs. Whoever lost would have a score of 14-3, but the road to the playoffs would be walkable for them after going against a 10-7 or 9-8 team. Amon-Ra St. Brown wanted the Commissioner of the NFL, Roger Goodell, to change the NFL rules, and for that matter, he made his feelings known through the following statement:
“It’s crazy; I think the rule should be changed. Obviously, if you win the division, you should obviously make a playoff spot, but having a 14-win team having to go on the road is kind of crazy. But I guess I don't make the rules.”
Talking about the Minnesota Vikings, WR St. Brown said, “Hopeful we can get a win and get home-field advantage, but whatever happens, we both have a spot in the playoffs, so we might see each other again after this game.”
Despite Amora St. Brown’s shaky confidence, Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell’s wife Holly tried to lighten the mood with a pizza twist
Holly Campbell, wife of the head coach of the Detroit Lions, Dan Campbell, is well known to the public eye for her jewelry or TikTok bracelet. Back then in the first week of January, Holly was making media rounds for her personalized pizza boxes. Her pizza boxes were meant to galvanize the spirits of her husband’s team—the Detroit Lions.
What was Holly Campbell's personalized pizza twist?
Holly shared an Instagram story in January 2025, that had three stacked pizza boxes. Interestingly, these boxes carried messages for the Detroit Lions.
The first box growled, “One Pride.”.
The second box roared, “Destroy the Vikings!!!,” and
the third box snarled, “Biting Kneecaps.”.
Holly captioned the liony-bold pizza boxes, “Personalized pizza…😂👊”

New Lions head coach Dan Campbell: 'We're going to bite a kneecap off'
“We’re going to bite a kneecap off,” said Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell at a press conference.
His speech was so powerful that it’s still the anthem for the Lions. Even his wife, Holly, used it for her Instagram story in January 2025! After all these (3) years? Yes, after all these years!
Excerpts from Dan Campbell’s speech:“We’re going to kick you in the teeth. When you punch us back, we’re going to smile at you. And, when you knock us down, we’re gonna get up. And on the way up, we’re going to bite a kneecap off, and we’re going to stand up, and then it’s going to take two more shots to knock us down, and on the way up, we’re going to take the other kneecap, and we’re going to get up. And then it’s going to take three shots to get us down, and when we do, we’re going to take another hunk out of you before, before long, we’re going to be the last one standing.”
