Darrell Bevell really fumbled this one.

The interim Lions coach, who replaced the recently canned Matt Patricia, accidentally revealed during a media session that marriage proposals are in his daughters’ futures.

“On Saturday, I was with my family, my wife, my three daughters, and then my two, I guess future son-in-laws now. They both wanted to talk to me this past weekend,” Bevell said, according to TMZ.

Bevell then revealed how one of the future grooms got hit in the face with a ball during a batting practice gone awry.

“So my middle daughter’s a softball player at BYU and when she came up here, she’s like, ‘I haven’t got enough hitting in, I want to go hit.’ So we went out and hit, and one of them took a softball off the eye, so he asked me while we were in the emergency room,” Bevell detailed.

Bevell then clarified that the gentlemen in question had only asked his permission and had not yet popped the question.

“The two guys asked me for my permission, they haven’t officially asked them yet so that’s where that was, it was just permission. So I don’t know when that’s coming,” he said.

Bevell was previously the offensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks from 2011-2017, before joining the Lions as the offensive coordination in January 2019.
