NAPA, Calif. — Every time I do a radio interview these days it seems like I get asked how the Detroit Lions have changed under first-year coach Matt Patricia.
And at the risk of exposing my limited vocabulary, the word I keep coming back to is, “different.”
The Lions look different under Patricia than they did under Jim Caldwell. I can’t say if that’s a good thing or not.
