The two second-half interceptions were game-changing, but his performance went beyond that. Per PFF, he also produced the team\u2019s second-highest run defense grade (86.9), making two key stops in that phase of the game. In total, Davis allowed just two catches on five targets for only 16 yards, all while earning PFF\u2019s highest grade of the week for a cornerback (91.3).<\/p>\n<p id=\"fcPu44\">This offseason, the Lions revamped their cornerback room and the first move they made was to send a third-round pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Davis. On Monday, coach Dan Campbell was asked if Davis\u2019 performance was everything he hoped it would be when the team made that trade.<\/p>\n<p id=\"wN0wqV\">\u201cAbsolutely, and then some,\u201d Campbell said without hesitation. \u201cThat\u2019s been an outstanding addition, and as a matter of fact, I told him Saturday night, we\u2019re in the special teams meeting, I slip right behind him\u2014I think I said this yesterday, I said, \u2018Man, one of the best moves we made was acquiring you, getting you here.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"nNOq3H\">Davis told media after the game that he was extra motivated to beat the Texans. That\u2019s because last year with the Buccaneers, he played in what he deemed the worst game of his career. PFF credited him with three touchdowns allowed, including the game-winner with seconds left on a C.J. Stroud pass to Tank Dell.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">ITS OVER!!

I\u2019m not going out sad to these guys twice.\u2019 They\u2019re a great team. Well-coached guys. But at the same time, we are, too. And the emotions just kind of took over.

But because of three remaining voided years on his contract beyond 2024, he is still scheduled to hit $9.8 million against the salary cap in 2025. The Lions have a lot of tight roster decisions heading into next year, but they could actually give the team a little cap relief next year if they decide to extend Davis before his contract voids.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5khRlm\">And while it\u2019s too early to know if the Lions will make that move, these words from Campbell certainly carry a lot of weight.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5JpfqX\">\u201cHe is good for that room, he is a veteran guy, he\u2019s a guy who\u2019s been around it for a while,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cThere are things that he understands and can kind of help the young guys with technique-wise or things that you see when it comes to game planning. And, look man, he\u2019s all in and he\u2019s playing at a high level, and I feel like, he\u2019s another guy, he\u2019s just gaining momentum. His confidence continues to grow and he\u2019s just \u2013 he\u2019s gaining momentum. So, I\u2019m thankful we got him here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before his outstanding game against the Texans, Lions CB Carlton Davis got a huge endorsement from Dan Campbell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2484,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
