The Detroit Lions' front office might say it doesn’t want to emulate everything the New England Patriots do – but on Monday, it did almost everything it could to look a lot like a Patriots version in the Midwest.

New England. New England. New England.
Lions coach Matt Patricia has made many moves since being hired in February 2018.
