It's safe to say that Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is on cloud nine. After a season that looked like it could end with zero wins, the Lions have secured two wins, the latest being against the much-lauded Arizona Cardinals.

After the Cardinals win Sunday (Dec. 19), Campbell celebrated. The Lions shared a video of Campbell and his team celebrating the big win and riding high on the performance. In the video, Campbell is seen with quarterback Jared Goff talking to the team. There's tons of excitement, as expected.

“Hey man. Welcome to Detroit,” Campbell says. “Welcome to Detroit. Hey, I tell you what, we did everything we said we needed to do to that team. We did everything. I tell you what, defense, you took it personal. Each three-and-out man, and you guys are making them have to punt. We turn the ball over offensively, right? And then we defensively -- Amani, two-four, get a turnover."

He adds, “We came after them early. We said we were going to be aggressive. We took some shots and we made ‘em. We made our shots early, and then we just started hammering. Hell, our first drive was eight minutes, man. You guys are a tough, gritty group. You are a tough gritty group. You always have been. And now you’re seeing it pay dividends. Look, a team gets one out, two out -- we got multiple guys out. And multiple guys stepped up and that’s what we’re capable of.”
