Following the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Buffalo Bills, Dan Campbell appeared for an interview. Things took an unexpected turn as people were more concerned about the teeth of Dan Campbell, which appeared yellow on camera.
After the 48-42 score, Campbell talked about improving strategy and the player’s performance on the field. However, fans couldn’t move their eyes from the coach’s bottom-row teeth.
Though previously unnoticed, the coach had a set of yellow teeth, which gave fans a way to joke about his oral hygiene. The teeth appeared to be barely holding onto the gums.

As the image circulated online, many added sarcastic comments as one wrote, “Dan Campbell teeth look like they’ve been through a blitz.“
Moroever, others included football in their jokes and stated that Cambell must include a huddle up with a toothbrush and let minty freshness join the starting lineup.
However, on a serious note, fans mentioned that the discoloration might result from extended tobacco use. Further, Campbell starts his day with a Venti Starbucks coffee with two espresso shots.

In an interview, the coach detailed his preferences: “My coffee and my tobacco, I want to taste it. No cream or sugar, and I don’t want wintergreen. Straight up.“
As many of his fans noted, such a habit had led to poor health. They claimed that Campbell should undergo dental procedures to clean his teeth before more damage occurs in his gums.
Players recalled a story where Dan Campbell’s tooth flew out during a pre-game meeting!
Surprisingly, this isn’t the first time Campbell has gone viral for his choppers. On February 21, 2024, Jared Goff shared his favorite story with the coach.
The quarterback shared the humorous story with Complex Sports and claimed that the incident happened during an important team meeting before the championship game.
According to the story, Campbell fired himself up during the session and discussed strategy with his players. However, his tooth flew out onto the ground while he was speaking.
Campbell was unfazed by the accident, and without missing a beat, he picked up the tooth and continued his speech. Neither Campbell nor the players mentioned the incident since.
During the interview, the quarterback added, “He kept going on with his pretty intense speech he was giving us. And he never talked about it. He never brought it up again and just kept it moving.“
Such statements have led to several online jokes, but Campbell hasn’t paid attention to such talks. In recent times, the coach has been focused much on the sport, giving the Lions their best since 1962.
However, the game comes with a price, as critics have condemned Campbell for calling a running play with 1:05 left while down 10 points, which failed. Such a move led the team to use a timeout.
Regardless, Campbell had an emotional moment after the recent match and has promised to perform better in the following fixtures.
