Matt Patricia bringing 'Do Your Job' Patriots motto to Detroit Lions

The phrase has become so synonymous with the New England Patriots that it was the title of the NFL Films documentary on Bill Belichick and the 2014 Super Bowl champs. Now it appears as if the Detroit Lions have co-opted the slogan, “Do Your Job.”

Several Lions players and defensive line coach Bo Davis said this spring the organization has it posted inside its Allen Park practice facility.

“That’s one of the signs that, when you walk in the building, it says, ‘Do Your Job,’ ” Davis said last month.

While no one will say exactly where the sign is — “I don’t know if I’m allowed to tell you where it is,” quarterback Jake Rudock said — it’s no surprise the expression has taken hold in Detroit.
