Asked Matt Patricia about the fourth quarter strategy where there didn't seem to be much urgency offensively despite being down 10 points (and having the ball) with 6:53 left.
Here was his explanation: "I think the good part about that part of the game was we were trying to do good, controlled plays. I think if you get yourself into a situation where you're going to be more at risk for a bad play or a situation where you're trying to run some time down, you're trying to be methodical about what you're doing, you're trying to make sure that you have good plays called and good situations handled. There are a lot of guys on the other side of the ball that you're trying to defend there or trying to protect against, so in those situations, we're trying to do everything to give us a chance to win.
And handling the clock and handling all that where, in that situation, we just wanted a really good drive. (We) just needed a good drive and to go down and get some points. So, that was the most important thing for us right there.
And, knowing that at a certain point in that drive, mentality changes a little bit, too. And you have to be able to kind of go into that next gear. There are about four different phases of tempo that can be used in that part of the ball game." The Lions got a field goal on that drive with 2:57 left and all three timeouts -- still trailing 23-16. Detroit then went for an onside kick that failed.
