Detroit's head coach delivered a blunt but necessary message about the current state of affairs.
The Detroit Lions weren't mathematically eliminated as a result of their Week 16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, the reality that time is running out appears to be setting in for the two-time defending NFC North champions and their leader, Dan Campbell.
Like the players, Campbell had some additional time to process the Lions' bizarre, crushing yet thrilling 29-24 defeat at the hands of the Steelers.
