Shortly after the Detroit Lions fell to the Minnesota Vikings 28-19 wide receiver Golden Tate shared his thoughts on various items with a small group of reporters.
After another tough loss – the second of the year to the Minnesota Vikings – the Lions fell to 1-6. With players facing a forlorn second half of the season – not that any of them are opening acknowledging the hopelessness ahead - the locker room ambiance was drab.
Players went through the motions of answering questions but – understandably – weren’t relishing the moment. With no victory to celebrate, the locker room was vacated relatively quickly with only a few players left behind about 30 minutes after the game’s final whistle.
