Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia addressed the media on Thursday at 11:45 a.m. Martha Ford, Bob Quinn and Rod Wood were on hand, but didn't speak.
Patricia opening statement: I'd like to start by thanking Mrs. Ford, Bob Quinn and Rod Wood. They've been supportive of me and I'm thankful to be working for an organization with strong values. I'm here to defend my honor and clear my name. I was accused of something very serious 22 years ago. I was never allowed to defend myself and clear my name. It was very traumatic and I was only 21 years old.
