ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Jim Caldwell knows what it takes to bounce back in the NFL, within a game and a season, perhaps as much as anyone in the league.
Caldwell helped the Detroit Lions become the first team in league history to win eight games in a season after trailing in the fourth quarter. They broke the previous league mark of seven comeback wins from fourth-quarter deficits set by the 2009 Indianapolis Colts — coached by Caldwell — that played in the Super Bowl.
After the Lions started 1-3 this season, he led them to eight wins in a nine-game stretch.
