ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions didnt even play last weekend and still made progress. A loss by Minnesota left the Lions tied with the Vikings for first place in the NFC North.That hardly registered with coach Jim Caldwell.It doesnt affect us, positive or negative, Caldwell said Monday after his team came off its bye week. Were focusing on the next game.That next game is Sunday at home against Jacksonville. The struggling Jaguars (2-7) have lost four in a row, but Caldwell insisted they present plenty to worry about.Theyve got a fair amount of high draft picks on this team who are very capable players, Caldwell said. Theyve done a lot of good things.Theyre getting 4.2 (yards rushing) per carry, which is where wed like to be, he added. (Allen) Robinson catches the ball well. He has 48 catches and they have four more guys with at least 25 catches. They have two backs as good as any you can see and they have defensive guys who can run and hit. Thats going to be a problem. So weve got to be ready.Monday marked the first time the Lions had met the media since Donald Trump was elected president. When asked about it, Caldwell initially tried to deflect the question.I try to use this platform for what its meant for, and thats to talk about my team, he said. Leadership is important. I do know that. Had I voiced the same opinions as some of our candidates, I wouldnt have this job five minutes after I walked off this stage. Some of you as well. But yet the person has become the leader of the free world. So again, a different time and place, and Im moving forward.Offensive lineman Larry Warford said that, while Lions players did discuss the election, they kept it light.Guys have been giving it jokingly, he said, like anyone would about (Trump) winning, and a lot of conversations have come up and good talk, but its not like its unruly in here. Life goes on.Its that focus, special teams player Brandon Copeland said, that has helped lift the team to first place after a 1/3 start.Its nice to come off your bye week in contention, he said. But we also know that if we dont continue to do what weve done and win games, it doesnt mean anything. Not to go back to last year, but being 1-7, the only way we get to 7-9 was by focusing on one game at a time. Its nothing new or different to us. Its how weve been trained and how well continue to attack it.Game notesCaldwell said he did get away to spend time with his three grandchildren during the bye. My time with them is important, and I dont get enough of it, he said. Theyre growing up quickly. He also watched college football. I watched as much as I could, he said. Theres always something to learn.Cheap Nike Free Shoes .
