Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz has admitted that last night's 18-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens was a setback for his side.
Justin Tucker kicked a 61-yard field goal in the final minute to clinch a victory for the reigning Super Bowl champions, leaving the Lions trailing the Chicago Bears by one win in the NFC North.
The Lions had been in control of the division until back-to-back defeats in the last two weeks, and Schwartz has acknowledged that his team now need favours from elsewhere if they are to reach the playoffs.
"This is a setback, no question. We had control and now we need help. We have to get two wins and let the rest shake out," Schwartz told The AP.
The Lions will face the New York Giants on Sunday before taking on the Minnesota Vikings in their season finale one week later.
