Jim Schwartz: 'Detroit Lions can limit playmakers'

Jim Schwartz has said that the Detroit Lions showed that they can limit their opponents' playmakers during their win over the Dallas Cowboys at the weekend.

Wide receiver Dez Bryant and tight end Jason Witten were restricted to 87 yards during the 31-30 win for the NFC North side.

The head coach told reporters: "I think there were a lot of other good things in that game that helped us overcome the fact that we had the four turnovers.

"We limited their playmakers. Their two guys we thought were their biggest playmakers were Dez Bryant and Jason Witten and they had five catches between them. We were doubling Dez Bryant just about the entire game."

The Lions face the Chicago Bears after their bye week.
