DETROIT -- Matt Patricia said he hates to lose, even in the preseason. He's not the only one. One of his players on last year's Patriots had the same reaction to the Lions' 30-17 home loss to the Giants in the second week of the preseason.
Ricky Jean Francois got to be a part of the starting defense, right in the middle of the line, only to experience a game where Detroit's defense was less than stout. Even down Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley, the Giants were able to much of what they wanted through the air and on the ground on touchdown drives in the second and third quarter, often moving right through Detroit's defense.
