The Detroit Lions were dealt an unusual hand in Week 16 of their 2020 campaign when interim head coach Darrell Bevell and four assistants were prohibited from participating under the COVID-19 protocols.
Wide receivers coach Robert Prince was named the team’s interim head coach for the game, becoming the 3rd head coach the Lions featured on the sidelines this season following the dismissal of Matt Patricia in late November.
And while the Lions and their fans immediately tried to forget the absolute debacle they suffered at the hands of Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one bit of good came out of it.
The game-worn visor and polo shirt of Prince’s is now on display in the Pro Football Hall of Fame:
