On Sunday Night Football, the Detroit Lions shocked the world by dominating the New England Patriots for four quarters on way to a 26-10 win.
That win itself was absolutely amazing, but one of the best moments in the game came when Lions’ head coach Matt Patricia channeled his inner Justin Verlander and fired the red challenge flag down the field.

MUST SEE: Detroit Lions’ players give Matt Patricia the game ball following emotional post game speech
On Sunday Night Football, the Detroit Lions came together and pulled off one the (dare we say it) biggest wins in recent team history as they defeated the New England Patriots 26-10 in front of a ruckus crowd at Ford Field.
Following the game, Lions’ head coach Matt Patricia (who had just picked up his first win) entered the locker room and after getting big hugs from Rod Wood and Bob Quinn, and then having a group of players swarm him, he addressed his team. Patricia gave the credit to his players and told them to enjoy the win but that on Monday, the focus would shift to the Dallas Cowboys.
After Patricia was finished speaking, Lions’ quarterback Matthew Stafford presented his head coach with the game ball in a moment Patricia is sure to remember forever.
