It’s Year 3 of Matt Patricia reign as head coach of the Detroit Lions, and it appears for the third straight year, he we will be sporting a last-place team into December. As pointed out by MLive’s Kyle Meinke, the Lions have literally not spent a single day out of last place in the month of December under Patricia, and a loss on Thursday would almost certainly cement that for another year.
As playoff odds now fade away well beyond the realm of realism, focus turns to the fate of both Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn.
