Earlier this week, Lions head coach Jim Schwartz was fired by the Detroit Lions after a 2013 season that saw the team go from a 6-3 start to losing six of the final seven games to finish 7-9.

Detroit led in the fourth quarter in all seven of those games, including the season-ending loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

A decision on the fate of general manager Martin Mayhew was made Sunday, and he was informed he was staying with the Lions.
