CHICAGO -- Jim Caldwell is 30 minutes from giving the Detroit Lions yet another reason to retain him.
Detroit's defense, so good these past two months, is pitching a shut out. The offense, so good these past two months -- and especially the past month -- has controlled the ball on a cold day at Soldier Field, even if it has squandered some opportunities for more points.
Put it all together, and the Lions have a 10-0 halftime lead against the Chicago Bears in the 2015 finale.
If the lead holds, Detroit will have won six of its final eight games, no small feat after beginning the season 1-7.
