ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit coach Jim Caldwell is shrugging off speculation about his job security just a quarter of the way into the season.The Lions 17-14 loss to Chicago on Sunday dropped them to 1/3 and Caldwells future came into question at Mondays news conference. Caldwell, whose four-year contract runs through next season, didnt seem concerned.We dont worry about that, he said. My job is to coach this team and get this team headed in the right direction.Caldwell said he meets with general manager Bob Quinn on a daily basis, but he would not elaborate whether his job performance has been discussed.If it was, I wouldnt tell you, Caldwell told reporters. What we talk about in terms of those meetings are things we dont discuss publicly.Detroit linebacker Tahir Whitehead was more willing to discuss his coachs future.Coach Caldwell definitely has our support, Whitehead said Monday. Hes a great coach, a great man. Hes always composed. His demeanor forces you to give it your all. You want to lay it on the line for him.Whitehead said questions about Caldwells job security have not become a distraction.Its easy to block it out, he said. You ignore the noise. You cant worry about what outsiders are saying. They are outsiders for a reason. They are not on this team or involved with this team.After a 39-35 win at Indianapolis to open the season, the Lions have dropped three straight by a total of 11 points. Two of the losses have been to NFC North rivals. Detroit hosts the undefeated Eagles (3-0) on Sunday.Im a guy that believes in results. Results arent good, plain and simple, Caldwell said.Im not going to make excuses or hide from facts. Im more interested in winning and losing. Weve been losing of late, and thats not good.Some Lions players defended Caldwell, who showed last season that a turnaround is possible. The Lions won six of their final eight games to finish 7-9.Coaches dont go out and play, they just prepare us, tight end Eric Ebron said after Sundays loss to the Bears. They dont play for us. We play the game. If we dont execute the game plan they put together, we lose.If the Lions hope to put together some wins, they will likely need more from receiver Golden Tate, who was targeted four times against Chicago and caught one pass for 1 yard in limited action. Tate has 14 receptions for 95 yards and no touchdowns this season.Everybody has an important role, Caldwell said, expressing confidence in Tate. There may be some games where he has one or two catches and somebody else has 10. Its going to happen that way, particularly when you have a number of guys that can make plays.Tate said the Lions entire offense needs to play better.We arent in sync right now, but we know were good, Tate said. We just got to all click at the same time every single play. Were just trying to get back on track. Were working hard, no doubt.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL Discount Jerseys . It just didnt show when he hit the ice.

First off, the fans ripped the Cubbies introduction of a fuzzy new kid-friendly mascot named "Clark". Harlequins produced a strong second half performance to see off Worcester 36-14 and continue their impressive home form.It was a fifth home win in succession for Quins - a stark contrast to their poor away form which has seen them lose all four matches on the road.It was 7-7 at half-time with Worcester making too many basic errors to reward their first half superiority before the second half saw Quins step up a gear to collect a bonus point win.Joe Marchant, Danny Care, Mike Brown, Tim Visser and James Horwill scored their tries with Nick Evans kicking a penalty and three conversions. Tim Swiel added another conversion.An impressive Ben Teo spearheaded Worcesters performance and, along with his fellow centre Jackson Willison, they scored Warriors tries with Jamie Shillcock adding two conversions. Worcester dominated the opening minutes but it was the hosts, who took the lead against the run of play.From a position in the home 22, Visser intercepted a Dean Hammond pass to race away. The wing was chased down by Shillcock but Care was up in support to take Vissers pass to score. Evans converted before Shillcock had a chance to put his side on the scoreboard but his straight forward penalty attempt went wide.However Warriors soon overcame the miss to draw level after 10 minutes when from a line-out in the opposition 22, Teo brushed aside a poor tackle from Luke Wallace to create a try for Willison.After the exciting opening period, the game became error-ridden and disjointed but when Joe Marler was sin-binned for collapsing a maul, the visitors had their chance to capitalise.Ryan Lamb kicked tthe penalty to the corner to secure a five metre line-out but Warriors gave away their first penalty of the game by a careless off-side to allow Quins to relieve the pressure.dddddddddddd.

Strong runs from James Chisholm and Winston Stanley put the visitors defence on the back foot before Cares pass sent Horwill crashing over.Four minutes later, Quins scored their third try when Brown skipped past a couple of defenders for an excellent solo try with Evans converting to leave Warriors with a mountain to climb.To their credit, they responded immediately when a well-judged pass from Ryan Lamb created a gap for Willison, who raced through it to create a try for Teo.Worcester had another chance when on half-way, a Stanley pass was picked off by Phil Dowson but the veteran number 8 lacked the pace to make it to the line.With 17 minutes remaining, Warriors collapsed a driving maul and Evans stepped up to kick the first successful penalty of the game before, from the restart, Marchant intercepted a Lamb pass to run 70 metres to score.That try sealed the game for Quins, who introduced Mark Lambert for the prop to record his 200th game for the club before Visser crashed over to finish off the final movement of the match.
