The Detroit Lions lost a big game on Sunday (Oct. 30), as the team took on the Miami Dolphins at Ford Field and fell 31-27. That resulted in the Lions being currently ranked the worst team in the NFL, at 1-6.
Earlier this week, some changes started taking place, and the team parted ways with defensive backs coach and pass game coordinator Aubrey Pleasant. Now, another change is happening.
