ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- In a season where the Detroit Lions finished the season with nine straight losses and averaged giving up 400 yards a game to opponents, general manager Bob Quinn distilled the team's problems down to a simple phrase.
"We didn't finish."
It's a mantra both he and Lions head coach Matt Patricia repeated often Monday in their season-ending news conferences. Detroit led in 13 of 16 games in 2019. But there was also a recognition of a complete look at the organization after two failed seasons under Patricia that led to a 9-22-1 record and two last-place finishes in the NFC North.
