ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Jim Caldwell doesn’t want you to believe all is lost with his Detroit Lions. It’s not the end of the year yet. There’s still football left to play.
Yes, his team is at .500 coming off a blowout loss at Baltimore and is on a two-game losing streak with minimal hope of winning the NFC North and a rough road to a wild-card spot. But Caldwell is sticking with his message. The season is not over yet. So don’t give up.
He said this when asked if there was a shakeup needed to try to push the Lions away from the doldrums they’ve been in for weeks -- four straight slow starts that led to four straight double-digit deficits by the second quarter.
