Lions QB Matthew Stafford said he's not paying much attention to the national MVP talk that's been going on around him. He said part of it is he's been in the limelight since high school as a highly touted recruit. He smiled, though, when asked about turning doubters into believers.
Jim Caldwell said "you have to do what's best from you at that time" when it came to trading to Kyle Van Noy to New England. Said he worked hard but "sometimes a change of scenery helps a guy."
Jim Caldwell on Vince Wilfork: "Vince is a powerful man."
