If nothing else seems to be on their side, at least the Detroit Lions’ have their recent history to use as a springboard as they return from the bye week to play the powerful Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Lions have played winning football after the bye under head coach Jim Caldwell. They have to do it again as they restart the season with a 3-3 won loss record if they’re going to make the playoffs for a second straight season and the third time in four years.
Good things have happened after the bye under Caldwell.
The Lions have a 3-0 won-loss record in their first game after the bye, and they’ve had winning records all three years.
