- Jim Caldwell has had some great quotes over the last couple of days about not looking ahead to the playoffs.

So just remember, kids, don't look ahead to the playoffs, and don't text and drive.Caldwell said looking ahead to the playoffs is "like texting and driving. .. You can’t have your focus & attention on 2 things at one time"

- Caldwell made some history on Sunday by recording his 10th win as head coach of the Detroit Lions.
Last night's win made Jim Caldwell the first @Lions HC to win 10 games in his first season since Potsy Clark led Portsmouth to 11-3 in 1931

- The Lions certainly don't panic when they get down by 14+ points.
Crazy number from @ESPNStatsInfo. #Lions are 3-3 when trailing by 14 points or more this year. Rest of #NFL? 11-122 when trail by 14-plus.

- It sounds like the Lions have serious interest in signing Australian rugby star Jarryd Hayne.
- The announcers for Sunday's game between the Lions and Chicago Bears are going to be Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.
- As if field goals weren't difficult enough for the Lions, the NFL is going to start experimenting with narrower goal posts.
Reported on @NFLonFOX that NFL will experiment by narrowing width of goalpost from 18.6 ft to 14 at Pro Bowl. Been same width since 1920!!!

- Go read this story about Andrew Luck's unique approach to trash talking. It's a pretty entertaining read.
