Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell has insisted that his side can still reach the playoffs despite falling to their third defeat in a row at the start of the campaign.
The Lions are 0-3 in their season by succumbing after a 24-12 defeat at the hands of the Denver Broncos at Ford Field to leave their playoffs hopes in jeopardy.
However, Caldwell is confident that his team have time to find their form and turn their season around.
"We do have 13 games left," Caldwell told reporters. "They're not handing out any trophies after three games and you can't be eliminated after three games.
"And I know there's all the stats that are out there about who does what at 0-3. I don't care about all that stuff. What I care about is trying to get better, and I thought we made a little headway."
The Lions are next in action against the Seattle Seahawks.
