Allen Park, Mich. — Jim Schwartz did it to himself.

Back in October, the Buffalo Bills' defensive coordinator made his return to Ford Field, a place he called home for five seasons as the head coach of the Detroit Lions. He told his players in minicamp that when the Bills beat the Lions he wanted to be carried off Ford Field, and he got his wish after a last-second Dan Carpenter field goal gave Buffalo a 17-14 win.

Schwartz was carried off Ford Field and left it at that, despite some backlash from the Lions about the incident.

"I don't want to talk about last week, let's just move on to the Patriots," Schwartz said the Friday after the win. "All the wins are good. It was a good win for us. We were on a two-game losing streak, being able to get that win on the road against a good opponent, particularly when we were down 14-0. That easily could have gotten away from us, but I was proud of the guys. The guys fought. We were able scratch and claw to get back into that game. We're going to have to have that same mentality to be able to do that this week, too."

Now, in a strange twist of fate, Schwartz is returning to Ford Field for a second time this season as the Bills' game against the Jets has been relocated to Detroit because six feet of snow in the Buffalo area has made it impossible to play Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Tickets to the game on Monday night are free, and one radio station in Detroit is calling for people in the area to head to Ford Field in green to support the Jets. Or, more accurately, root against Schwartz.

Schwartz was unavailable for comment the last two days while the Bills have been practicing at the Lions' facility in Allen Park. Bills president Russ Brandon said the Bills expect a full house at Ford Field on Monday night, but it likely won't be quite as friendly a crowd as they get at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
