Lions using productive paranoia to surge atop the NFC North
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Jim Caldwell could see the Detroit Lions’ latest win coming last week, well before they beat the New Orleans Saints.
In practice, they were embracing “productive paranoia,” a concept Caldwell has read about in Jim Collins’ books and apparently passed along to his players.
“It was just one of those weeks where things were clicking along pretty well for us,” Caldwell said Monday. “The key is now we’ve got to do it again.”
The Lions beat New Orleans 28-13, their seventh win in an eight-game stretch that has dramatically changed the possibilities for this season.
