The Lions’ injury list is vast.

The Lions were recently forced to add David Montgomery, Carlton Davis, and Alim McNeill to their vast list of injured players; McNeill and Montgomery are anticipated to miss the rest of the season.

Despite the huge injury list, Lions head coach Dan Campbell delivered an emotional and NSFW speech during a radio appearance earlier this week, refusing to let outsiders feel sorry for his club.

“What happens is you get used to eating filet — and I’m talking about all of us — and everything’s fine,” the elated Campbell explained. “Life’s good, but you forgot what it’s like when you had nothing and you ate your f****** molded bread.”

“And I don’t give a crap whether we gotta win by one point for the rest of the year, that’s what we’re going to do,” Campbell told reporters. “And I’ll be delighted about it. We finished the game with 50 yards of total offense and won by one. You’ll notice grins on my face. I promise you.

“If it goes the other way, and we give up 700 yards on defense and win by one point, you’re going to see a f****** smile from ear to ear, okay? I promise you. So we’ll find a way to get it done.”

Following Sunday’s game, the Lions will play the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings before the postseason.
