Lions changing travel schedule to account for potential winter weather

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions are altering their schedule in an effort to keep themselves as close to their normal routine as possible.

Because of weather concerns, the team is leaving for New York on Friday evening instead of their typical Saturday afternoon departure time because they want to avoid any pending snowstorms in Michigan and along the eastern seaboard.

"It looks like it’s a pretty bad storm coming in," Caldwell said. "So you’re not quite sure but it doesn’t look good and we may be delayed tomorrow, which we don’t want to be delayed tomorrow because we have a routine that we’d like to stay in if we can help it.
