Don't look now, but after the Detroit Lions' 30-12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, they're actually 2-3-1 since their bye week on Nov. 7.
That's not quite playoff-worthy, but it has certainly sent the premonitions of the franchise going 0-17 back into cold storage (from whence we're sure they'll be hauled out when the Lions struggle to open next season).
Of course, that stretch of pure mediocrity has also botched the team's shot at picking No. 1 in next year's draft, thanks to the Jacksonville Jaguars' descent to the bottom of the standings.
