Welp. Another year, another wasted 17 games. Expectations were modest heading into 2020, but this is certainly not the outcome many foresaw. Matthew Stafford was coming back healthy with hopes of carrying on his 2019 output, and while Matt Patricia’s job was up in the air, it looked like he would put his best effort forward to save himself.
Obviously that is not how it played out, and once again the Lions have failed to play meaningful games in December. Sunday’s finale against Minnesota counts for nothing but draft position (as is tradition), and many fans will be thankful to see this disappointing year finally come to a close.
