ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Matthew Stafford knows it's way too early to draw conclusions.
"It's NFL football," the Detroit Lions quarterback pointed out. "It's week to week."
And this week, we should learn a lot more about Stafford's team, which takes a four-game winning streak into the desert for a showdown against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Lions (7-2) have a chance to post the franchise's best record after 10 games since 1962, which might be even more stunning than the idea that the Cardinals (8-1) have the NFL's best record.
But who needs to go back to 1962 for significance.
Last year Detroit was rolling along with a 6-3 record, and positioned to seize the NFC North crown while Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sidelined with a broken collarbone.
That the Lions collapsed, winning just one of their final seven games in 2013, is one big reason why they have a new coach this year in Jim Caldwell.
Are the Lions poised for another meltdown?
