FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — It was a beautiful day in New England on Sunday. A crisp, cool breeze rustled through the leaves just starting to change colors in the bucolic countryside outside Gillette Stadium.
But back in Detroit, the sky is supposedly falling for Detroit Lions fans, no matter what the forecast says. Because they lost again. Worse yet, they lost, 29-0, to the Patriots and to ex-coach Matt Patricia and to a third-string rookie quarterback making his first career start.
