It’s been quite a week for the Lions, who fired special teams coordinator Brayden Coombs on Monday after the coach called a rogue fake punt on Sunday, resulting in criticism from the Twitter accounts of several players and ex-players who liked Coombs. The Lions are 4-5 and have lost four of their last five, and six of their last eight. They host the Buccaneers on Saturday for a 1:00 pm EST kickoff in Week 16.
