After the Detroit Lions' victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the final game of the regular season, Dan Campbell said something to Kevin O'Connell that didn't go unnoticed by Los Angeles Rams fans.
“See you in two weeks” Campbell told O'Connell, indicating that the Vikings would beat the Rams and face the Lions in the divisional round.
Fans weren't the only ones drawing Campbell's shadow, whether intentionally or not. Quentin Lake caught wind of this and said in a recent interview, “We'll keep an eye on it for a bit and hope someone doesn't eat their words.”
Before Monday's game against the Vikings, the Rams literally turned Campbell's quote into bulletin board material. They hung a photo of it above a door in the locker room to remind everyone that they are being overlooked.
They also have the Lombardi Trophy back in the locker room as motivation to get another ring.
And the Super Bowl LVI trophy sits in the Rams' locker room with a picture of the trophy presentation and the words “Football Heaven.”

Whether Campbell meant it as a slight to the Rams or not, he certainly gave them a little more fire before Monday's game.
That's bad news for the Vikings, who are the only team standing in the Rams' way of a potential rematch with the Lions this postseason.
