On Sunday, the Detroit Lions were dominated by the Minnesota Vikings on way to a 20-7 Week 14 loss.
Following the game, Patricia spoke to the media and he tried to pull a quick one by saying the Lions are not what their record is.

From The Athletic:
“The hard thing for us … What I appreciate about this team is we don’t look at our record and say, ‘This is what we are.’ I think we look at our record and say, ‘That’s not what we are.’”
Well, it’s no surprise that Patricia’s take has come under fire in a league where winning is all that matters.
On Monday, NBC’s Peter King called out Patricia for his “weak” comment.
From NBC:
I think that is a pile of crap. You are what your record says you are. The Lions are 3-9-1. They’ve won one of the last 10 games. Including the last 10 games of last season, Detroit has won six of its last 23 games. If you’re a good team masking a few deficiencies, you don’t win once a month. And Matthew Stafford has played 18 of those 23 games. Teams win without their starting quarterback. Drew Lock, two wins in a row in Denver. Devlin Hodges, 4-0.
I don’t know. That quote, to me, was weak.
Nation, what do you think about Patricia’s comment?
