Head coach Dan Campbell spoke to the media Monday following the Detroit Lions' 37-24 win on the road in Cincinnati Sunday to improve to 4-1 on the season.
Here are all the key questions to come out of Campbell's Monday presser:
What did Campbell like most about watching the tape of the game Monday?
Offense: Detroit was 5-for-5 in the red zone not counting the kneeldowns at the Cincinnati 10-yard line to end the game. Campbell also talked about the 71 yards after the catch they had which he thought were huge in several different occasions throughout the course of the game.
Defense: Holding the Bengals to 4-for-11 on third down, giving up only four explosive plays all contest and recording three takeaways and a safety.
Special teams: Jack Fox dropping four punts inside the 10-yard line. Campbell also talked about kicker Jake Bates being really improved as a kickoff specialist consistently putting the ball at the 1-yard line.
What is the injury update on cornerback Terrion Arnold?
Arnold was playing arguably his best game of the season before leaving in the second half with a shoulder injury.
"Unfortunately, he's going to be out for a while," Campbell said. "He's going to be out for a long time."
Campbell did not know if it was a season-ending injury, but the Lions are planning for an extended absence.
What does the Arnold injury mean for Detroit's defense?
Last year, it was the front seven that was decimated by injury. Early this year, it's been the back end that's been dealing with several injuries.
Starting cornerback D.J. Reed is already on Reserve/Injured with a hamstring injury and now they lose Arnold for an extended period. The Lions were already without Ennis Rakestraw Jr., who was injured in training camp and isn't expected back anytime soon. Khalil Dorsey is also going to be out a while, per Campbell.
Detroit's now going to need Amik Robertson, Rock Ya-Sin, Avonte Maddox and others to step up at cornerback. Campbell also talked about the front seven having to pick up some of the slack for the back end and affect the quarterback even more than the 16.0 sacks they have in five games.
Campbell and defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard want to play more man coverage than zone but will adjust if necessary to help their personnel. Detroit could also look to add numbers to the cornerback room this week.
Who had one of the more underrated performances Sunday?
Campbell talked extensively about the day wide receiver Jameson Williams had as a run blocker. Defenses pay a lot of attention to Williams because of his speed and ability to get behind the defense. Defenses play deep on his side or play a lot of shell coverage. Williams caught his only target Sunday for nine yards, but Campbell said he showed up all game long as a physical presence in the run game.
"He's a team guy," Campbell said. "We appreciate that about him."
Why does the defense watch every turnover around the NFL every week?
It's a way to figure out different tricks of the trade, Campbell said. Watching different styles of how the ball comes out and how defenders are getting takeaways.
Sometimes you can see something on tape and try to put it in you own arsenal on gameday. Campbell said it's another way to emphasize takeaways. Detroit is currently third in the NFL in both takeaways (9) and turnover differential (plus-six).
What impresses Campbell most about Detroit's next opponent?
"What Kansas City does well is they win," he said. "They freakin win. That's what they do, man. They find ways to win, and they'll exploit you when you make mistakes. They will capitalize on them. We have to be on point and clean some of these things up, so we have a chance to go in there and compete against these guys."
