Dan Campbell blamed himself for the too-many-men-on-the-field penalty that cost the Detroit Lions a field goal chance late in the first half of last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but special teams coordinator Dave Fipp said Thursday he shares culpability for the mistake, too.

"The only thing I would say is anytime I’m a part of something I definitely feel responsibility for not getting the job done," Fipp said. "So I take a lot of responsibility for that also. I know for a fact that there’s a lot of things that I could have done different and would do different if I could do it again today, so I feel like I need to take my share of the ownership and responsibility also, certainly."

The Lions drove inside the Tampa 10-yard line with 11 seconds left in the first half, but were flagged for too many men on the field when their field goal unit ran in from the sideline as the offense lined up to spike the ball.

The penalty included a 10-second clock runoff, which ended the half before the Lions could attempt a field goal.

That sequence came back to bite the Lions late in the game. Down four points, they twice drove inside the Tampa 30 but had to pass on makeable field goal attempts to try and convert on fourth down. They failed both times, and Tampa took one kneel-down snap with 2 seconds left to win the game.

"There’s no way to justify this," Campbell said after the game. "It’s a massive error on my part, no one else’s, and it was just between hurry-up field goal and clocking it. And it was 100% my fault. One hundred percent. And that’s why we have guys on the field, we’re trying to clock it. It’s just one of those things we work over and over, and we’ve been good, we do everything, and then I mess it up.”

Asked who is responsible for sending the field goal unit onto the field, Fipp said Thursday, "it kind of depends on the situation."

He declined to share more specifics about the mechanics of the play, other than to say, "there's a lot that goes into those situations."

"Like I said to the players, those things are not a big deal until all of a sudden they’re a huge deal, all these situational plays like that," Fipp said. "And it’s the same thing, long field goal, they put a returner back deep, you’ve got to cover it. It’s not a big deal until all of a sudden you’ve got to cover that kick and that guy makes a play. Anyway, so situations like that, there’s a lot that go into it. They’re all critical. they come at critical moments in the game. That one certainly was for us."
