ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -- If the Detroit Lions needed any reminders of the challenges still ahead, all they had to do was turn on the television a few hours after their victory Sunday.
The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys - Detroit's next two opponents - were playing a tough, defensive struggle that went down to the wire. And yes, Lions coach Jim Caldwell watched.
''Start to finish,'' he said.
It was another successful weekend for the Lions, who edged Chicago 20-17 on Sunday to remain two games ahead of Minnesota and Green Bay atop the NFC North.
