DETROIT -- Matt Patricia waited two long weeks of losses and defensive struggles and questions about the state of his locker room for a moment like this -- a celebration of not only a win and the first for him as a head coach but also a win over the Patriots team that raised him.
Patricia entered the Lions locker room in Ford Field following his team's 26-10 upset of the Patriots, and that's when the party started. He first embraced president Rod Wood and general manager Bob Quinn in bear hugs. Then his players got involved, and it got a little crazy from there.
