KEEPING IT PERSPECTIVE:Why Lions blowout loss to the Pats wasn't all that bad
INJURY UPDATE:Lions DB Saivion Smith collapses, taken off field by ambulance
Betting line: Patriots by 3½.
Game notes: Hello Matt Patricia, our old friend. Re-hired by his mentor Bill Belichick as the Patriots co-offensive coordinator, Patricia was fired during his third season as Lions head coach. His New England offense will be without starting quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) or backup quarterback Brian Hoyer (concussion), leaving rookie Bailey Zappe as the likely signal-caller against the NFL's worst defense. The Lions will be without starting running back D’Andre Swift and starting wideout DJ Chark; star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is playing.
