Detroit Lions owner Martha Firestone Ford made it clear earlier this month. For both general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia, 2020 is a must-win season. That’s a tall task considering this duo has led Detroit to back-to-back disappointing records.
With a combined win/loss record of 9-22-1 over the past two years, the Lions find themselves longing for the days under former head coach Jim Caldwell. This organization parted ways with Caldwell following a 9-7 season only to sign Patricia who promptly sunk the franchise into the basement of the NFC North.
