The Detroit Lions have not been able to beat good teams under Matt Patricia, or most of the bad ones, and they should soon find out if they can do either with a new coach.
Deshaun Watson threw for four touchdowns and had a near-perfect passer rating and the Lions committed three first half turnovers in a 41-25 loss to the Houston Texans at Ford Field on Thursday.
The loss was their biggest Thanksgiving defeat since a 45-24 pounding by the New England Patriots in 2010.
The Lions have lost four of their past five games, all by double digits, and at 4-7 are in last place in the NFC North.
