ALLEN PARK -- LeGarrette Blount stepped forward from his locker for his weekly media session with one goal in mind. He wasn't here to talk about the penalty or the ejection or even the last game in any way. Past seasons were off the table, too, even with his former team coming to town.
All he wanted to talk about was this year's version of the New England Patriots.
That's the Patriots mentality. Bill Belichick encapsulated it in infamous press conference from 2015 in which he repeatedly answered, "We're on to Cincinnati" after a blowout loss, only to go on to win the Super Bowl.
