The Detroit Lions have had a subpar first half of the season. In eight NFL games, they lost eight games. To put that behind them, defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn has resorted to a very special measure.

Munich – Unusual measure for the Detroit Lions!

The current season is anything but easy for the team around playmaker Jared Goff. They have lost eight games so far. The Lions last took the field a fortnight ago against the Philadelphia Eagles – and conceded a nasty 6:44 defeat.

To ensure that the players were not too influenced by the failure against Philadelphia in the past bye week, defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn used a very special trick. He now told US reporters that he dug a hole in the ground behind the franchise’s training ground. Then all the players had to gather around and watch him bury the tape with the game scenes.

Lions want to tick off first half of season

“I really didn’t look at it as a motivating factor,” Glenn told the Detroit Free Press. “I really didn’t look at it as a symbol of what other coaches have done. I looked at it, for me personally, as these first eight games are over. All the mistakes, all the fights, all the problems, they’re over. They are done. Now it’s time to move on to the last part of the season. “

In Detroit, the defensive coach isn’t the first with this move. In 2018, Matt Patricia buried a football after losing his head coaching debut to the Jets.

That measure didn’t help, by the way. Patricia was fired last year.
