O'HARA'S FRIDAY FOCUS: Same mantra, different circumstances for Lions
It’s still the one-game-at-a-time mantra for the Detroit Lions, but they are at a point in the season where the consequences have changed, and not for the better.
With a 6-6 won-loss record and four games left going into Sunday’s road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Lions are treading on a razor-thin edge in their bid to make the playoffs for the second straight year and third time in four years under head coach Jim Caldwell.
The Lions got a boost Thursday with quarterback Matthew Stafford’s participation in practice. He was limited in Wednesday’s practice because of an injury to his right (passing) hand sustained late in last week’s loss to Baltimore.
