Lions' Patricia: No plan to take over play-calling duties

Allen Park — Last week, Matt Patricia dismissed special teams coordinator Joe Marciano. But after a third consecutive lopsided defeat, where both the offense and defense struggled mightily, Patricia isn't looking to ready to make any additional changes to his staff.

"Again, we talked about it last week," Patricia said. "It was what it was, but we’re just pushing forward this week. We’re on schedule, grinding away here. We’re not doing anything right now, no."

The Lions offense is currently 20th in scoring and 24th in yardage under the stewardship of Jim Bob Cooter, a holdover from the previous coaching regime.
