“Got a tremendous amount of respect for (49ers Head) Coach (Kyle) Shanahan,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said earlier in the week. “What he’s done out there, man I think he’s an outstanding coach. And then, certainly, as an offensive coordinator, he’s tops. (49ers Defensive Coordinator) Coach (Steve) Wilks, a ton of respect. Every time we’ve faced them and his defenses, they’re a pain in the rear […] This’ll be an outstanding test for us, but it’s one we’re ready for, we’re ready for. So, we’re built to handle this and this will be an outstanding game. On the road, our guys are going to be ready to roll.”
