Dan Campbell thinks his 6-2 Detroit Lions still have another gear

Associated Press  

DETROIT — Dan Campbell knows his Detroit Lions have already taken a big step forward. “We have left so much out there and we’ve still played well enough to get six wins, but we need to take it up another notch.” After spending the bye week studying the team, Campbell and his staff think they’ve found three significant areas of focus going forward. And then we need better third-quarter production from both sides.” The Lions are even in turnover ratio — committing and forcing 10 — and have given up 11 third-quarter touchdowns while only scoring three. “That will go a long way for us.” WHAT’S WORKING While Campbell has found some areas that need to improve, the Lions are still a 6-2 team that ranks second in yards gained and fifth in yards allowed. “They’ve been trending in the right direction for a while, so we are certainly hopeful.” KEY NUMBER 0 — The number of playoff games the Lions have hosted since Ford Field opened in 2002.
