Lions grapple with motivation as season winds down

Allen Park — As the Lions tried to overcome their 1-7 start, safety Glover Quin regularly said they had a chance to make the playoffs until they’re officially eliminated.

The elimination happened Sunday as a loss to the Rams, 21-14, in St. Louis dropped the Lions to 4-9, and now, the Lions will try to find some motivation as they try to win their final three games.
