Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz insists that he is taking things one game at a time as he looks to haul his side back into the playoff race with two games left.

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz has insisted that he is taking things one game at a time as his side look to claw back their advantage in the NFC North.

The Lions slipped to their fourth defeat in five games on Monday as the Baltimore Ravens kicked a 61-yard field goal in the final minute to secure a 18-16 victory.

That result left Schwartz's side's playoff fate out of their own hands with two games left, but the 47-year-old insists that he has bounced back from worse positions than the one in which he currently finds himself.

"I look at it like we're one game down with two to play. I've been in worse situations and come out from them, from a team standpoint. That's where we are," Schwartz told reporters.

"As much as it sounds like I keep saying the same thing, but it's true. We can't let anything detract from that. We'd all feel a lot better today if that kick had gone wide right or that kick would have come up short. We would have played exactly the same.

"Our focus is on the [New York] Giants, that's the only thing we can control our preparation and we can control our performance this week and that's the only thing that we can control so that's what we need to concentrate on and that's what we'll do."

The Lions would need to win their final two games and have the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers both lose one of theirs to reach the playoffs.
