Former division rival, Justin Fields, had consistently posed a challenge for Campbell's Lions. With Fields now part of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Campbell expressed relief at no longer facing him.
"I'm not going to deny it, it's a relief having Fields out of our division," Campbell admitted.
In their encounters, Fields demonstrated prowess, tallying 843 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions over five games, with a 2-3 record. Fields' last outing against the Lions resulted in a 28-13 victory for the Bears, with Fields throwing for 223 yards and a touchdown.
However, Campbell anticipates new challenges, particularly with the looming prospect of facing Caleb Williams, expected to join the Bears in the upcoming NFL Draft. Williams, touted for his talent, aims to elevate the Bears' competitiveness.
Meanwhile, the Lions are focused on defending their NFC North title, eyeing another successful season after their recent NFC Championship Game appearance.
