Dan Campbell, head coach of the Detroit Lions, has again taken the headlines on social media because of his red nose.
You may wonder what is so out of the ordinary for sportspeople to become a trending topic of discussion?… Well, not only has it happened owing to the Lions’ recent victory and their title as the No. 1 seed, but also due to head coach Dan’s “5 minutes away from frostbite nose,” as commented by DNP Sports on X.
The Detroit Lions’ most recent victory occurred on Sunday, January 5, 2025, when they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 31-9.
This achievement marks a significant milestone for the Lions, who finished the regular season with a franchise-best 15-2 record. As the top seed, they have earned a first-round bye and will enjoy home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.
In a video posted on X by the Detroit Lions, captioned “That was awesome,” we can see Dan’s enthusiastic and spirited speech as he addresses the team.

“Oh!… That’s a hell of a win guys..You guys look like you remember who the f**** you are!! THAT WAS AWESOME. That’s a hell of a win, you guys… All I can think about is..man, we’ve been forged in this stuff now. This has been three years in the making, some of it four. like that just doesn’t happen, you gotta work through it, grind through it, and go through the downs to get to the ups of where we’re at. THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE MAN!….. Division winners, back-to-back seasons, and the number one seed. That was a total team effort. I got three game balls….”
In addition, according to a post made by Adam Schefter on January 6th,2025, the Lions have clinched the first No.1 seed in franchise history.

Peyton Manning also candidly joked about Campbell’s nose on the ESPN Monday Night Football video segment.
“Considering the state of your nose outside in cold weather, how important is it for the Lions to get home-field advantage next season…?“
Dan laughed and replied, “Listen, the last thing I’m worried about is my nose. So, if that thing falls off, I don’t care where we’re at, it’s okay. We’ll just keep going, all right… we’ll figure out something else… I’ll get a piece of wood and just glue it on..“
Dan’s answer got all the two show hosts and the audience laughing.
Nevertheless, Dan stands tall as the core of the team and has shown excellent results in terms of team building and training the players.
