Matt Patricia had no time to reflect on missing the playoffs for just the second time during 15 NFL seasons.For one Fletcher Cox Jerseys Stitched , this isn't New England, where the rookie Detroit Lions coach spent his first 14 seasons as an assistant. And, Patricia said, there are still two games left for the Lions to play."I'm not going to put anything into summation," Patricia said after a 14-13 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday mathematically eliminated the Lions from contention."I think we're going to be focused on this game and trying to make sure to analyze this game and where we can get better," he added.

"It starts with me. Have to go out and execute better."Though Stafford finished 22 of 29 for 208 yards passing and a touchdown, the Lions' offense all but dried up in the second half. Detroit managed just 117 yards offense and five first downs over the final two quarters.That was particularly apparent on what proved to be Detroit's final possession. The Lions gained just 2 yards in going three-and-out in punting from their own 33 with 2:56 left."We had our chances and opportunities and just didn't make enough plays as a team," Stafford said."Yeah, it's frustrating.
