Bottom line: 1-3 record hangs over Patricia’s coaching debut

Allen Park — Jamal Agnew, a 100-meter league champion in his San Diego high school, is known for his sprints.

But he talked Monday about how the Lions need to keep an eye on the long race after early struggles.

“It’s a marathon,” Agnew said Monday after the Lions fell to 1-3 in a 26-24 loss at Dallas. “We didn’t get out the gates the best that we wanted to. But that’s the best thing about a marathon is you’ve got the long haul.”

The Lions are done with the first quarter of Matt Patricia’s first season.
