Football is a situational game, and Lions head coach Jim Caldwell was pretty confident quarterback Matthew Stafford and Co. could lead them down the field and into field goal range with 37 seconds left from their own 25-yard line with three timeouts at his disposal.
“Yeah, one of the things that we do often, we practice those situations quite a bit,” Caldwell said. “We typically practice it with no timeouts and we usually have about 30-some-odd seconds.
"We make them function within that realm and hopefully when you do have some timeouts remaining, that’ll make them feel a little bit better even.
