Matchup to Watch: McVay vs. Campbell

One of the most intriguing matchups of the weekend is between Sean McVay, the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams, and Dan Campbell, the head coach of the Detroit Lions. McVay is known for his offensive prowess and creative game planning, but without his usual strong running game, it will be interesting to see how he adjusts his strategy. Campbell, on the other hand, is still finding his footing as a head coach, and this game will provide an opportunity to see how he manages his team against a formidable opponent.
