Detroit Lions mailbag: Addressing winning habits, overcoming injuries, and defensive issues

Allen Park — We committed to writing a Detroit Lions mailbag weekly this season — and so far, so good. And with that, we don't like to waste many words on the intro, so let's get right to your questions.

u25b6 Question: Is “learning how to win” a real thing, or something we tell ourselves as an excuse for blowing leads? — @CalebJ_A
