Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz believes that the team needs to do very little to double the number of wins they secure during a season.

Jim Schwartz has said that the Detroit Lions can easily double the number of wins they record during a season.

The team finished last in the NFC North in 2012, winning just four of their 16 regular season games.

The head coach told ESPN: "It's very important for our guys to know where we were as a team, and you can't ignore the fact that we lost 12 games last year. You also can't ignore the fact that we were [within] one score in nine or 10 of those games.

"We were literally one play away from doubling our wins. We can easily flip that if we can make that one more play.

"And I think, collectively, if we all have that in our minds and we know how close we are, then we can get it back pretty quickly."

The Lions have made the playoffs just one in the last 13 seasons.
