Bengals coach Marvin Lewis and Lions first-year coach Jim Schwartz, long-time friends, have known each other since Schwartz served as Lewis’ defensive assistant during Lewis' stint as the Baltimore defensive coordinator.
When Schwartz became the coach in Detroit, guess who he reached out to for advice.
"He’s been a good friend for a long time and I think he’s an excellent football coach," Lewis said when speaking with media prior to the game. "We talked once he got the job and as he was putting his staff together and some things he was looking to do and he asked a couple questions. He’s really a smart, smart person. We’d be on vacation and Schwartzie would have his laptop out and he’d be working on an opponent while he was with the Titans. So, he’s a hard working guy and you can see as I talk about him it brings a smile to my face. Just in every way, I was very fortunate enough to have him."
