WEEK IN REVIEW: Lions talk changes, keep focus on Packers
Detroit Lions owner Martha Firestone Ford addressed the media last Thursday to announce her decision to relieve general manager Martin Mayhew and team president Tom Lewand of their duties.
On Monday, she attended the team meeting and addressed the players.
"I think that means a lot," safety Glover Quin said. "The only time I've ever had the owner address the team was when it was something near and dear to their heart."
Ford's direction to the team and interim general manage Sheldon White is clear: Win.
"The biggest direction I got from Mrs. Ford was she's not giving up on this season," White said. "Her direct message to me was, 'I need to win and I want to win now.'"
