"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." These words by Toni Morrison sum up why I got into writing after being an avid reader for most of my childhood. After juggling with words for years, it still comes as a surprise how much there is to write and read. Despite being a software engineer, the will to keep on writing got me involved with poetry and later content creation. 

The additional desire for storytelling and my history of athletics paved the way for EssentiallySports. With the dream to return to my athletic roots and absorb as much knowledge as I can, I am grateful to keep on learning new things every day about various sports.

Despite being more of an off-court reader, the thrill that game coverage instilled within me got me more involved with the NFL. Even though the stories revolving around the NFL are very intriguing, the hype and energy of the games is the literal cherry on top for me. When I am not immersed in NFL gameplays and off-court stories, I am usually lost in writing poems, cooking, and playing with colors.

 Despite a great 10-1 start to the season, nothing in the NFL should be taken for granted. And Philadelphia Eagles [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/] defensive coordinator, Sean Desai learned it the hard way. This comes after the Eagles lost two games in which the opponents scored a cumulative 75 points, where the Eagles only managed 32 points. It brought the defense’s weakness to the front, and as a result, the team has decided to entrust the play-calling responsibilities to senior defensive assistant Matt Patricia. The Eagles have a comparatively easy schedule coming up in the remaining few weeks of the regular season. But one thing that the Eagles won’t do is get complacent. Post the demotion announcement, the Philadelphia Enquirer reported on the reason behind it. SEAN DESAI: NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH The publication reported [https://www.inquirer.com/eagles/eagles-matt-patricial-sean-desai-defensive-coordinator-nick-sirianni-20231217.html?utm_source=t.co&utm_campaign=edit_social_share_twitter_traffic&utm_medium=social&utm_content=&utm_term=&int_promo=] that a team source said although they acknowledged that Sean was “smart”, some players were unsure about him because they thought “he doesn’t carry himself with confidence”. Desai will now move from the sidelines to the coaches’ box. Meanwhile, Matt Patricia will take over from him and call plays from the sidelines. To put the Eagles’ recent losses into perspective, their cumulative 75-point loss is the worst back-to-back loss in the franchise’s history ever since Nick Sirianni took over as head coach. The defense has often suffered in presenting third-down conversions, but the demotion came as a surprise for many Eagles players because Desai is a respected figure in the locker room. But it seems the team is in for a bigger surprise as the new defensive coordinator, Matt Patricia, is not exactly known for having a great rapport with players. MATT PATRICIA: MARRED WITH LOSSES AND ISSUES Before joining the Eagles as a senior defensive assistant, he was on the other side of the ball. He was the senior football adviser and offensive line coach with the New England Patriots [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/new-england-patriots/]. Under him, the Patriots’ offense were the worst in the entire league in 2022. Subsequently, he was fired from the job by head coach Bill Belichick. He then took over as the Detroit Lions’ [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/detroit-lions/] head coach. His three-year stint there was marked by losses and major beef with cornerback Darius Slay for his “disrespectful” coaching style. But then as luck would have it, both were traded to the Eagles and rejoined each other and have now claimed to bury the hatchet. Hurts Amid Eagles’ QB’s Health Rumors [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-news-definitely-not-nick-sirianni-shatters-opinions-of-benching-jalen-hurts-amid-eagles-qbs-health-rumors/] Whether the team will be able to accommodate this sudden change or not will become clear next week. The Eagles will face the Seattle Seahawks [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/seattle-seahawks/] on Monday Night Football. Will the change in coaching lead to tangible results on the field? Watch This Story: Amid Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engagement rumors, speculations emerge, foreshadowing a gloomy end [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/nfl-news-amid-taylor-swift-and-travis-kelces-engagement-rumors-speculations-emerge-foreshadowing-a-gloomy-end/] 

After two back-to-back losses with a cumulative loss of 75 points, the Eagles have demoted thier DC Sean Desai in favor of Matt Patricia.

I am a hardcore believer in the ?Mamba Mentality?, which certainly applies to
the NFL. The sport is not just about physical prowess but also demands a
powerful mindset. Growing up, I spent time with athletes on the neighborhood
soccer field. While fixating on breaking down strategies and player performance,
I also developed a strong connection with the Denver Broncos as I watched
Russell Wilson break the barriers and achieve excellence. My research abilities
and fondness for Newsroom Culture helped me lay the Noble Stone for sports
journalism. My time with EssentiallySports may not have been very long, but I
have managed to keep readers immersed with my analysis of matchups, game
previews, and more! As a writer, I?d say my writing style connects both
passionate NFL fans and those who want to learn the basics of this technical
sport. My love for motivational literature has been helpful in connecting fans
with the powerful psychological aspects of the sport. During my time away from
breaking down complex stories, I can be found ?pumping iron? at the gym.

<p style="text-align: center">The club was originally founded in Portsmouth, Ohio, and enlisted in the NFL in 1930 going by the Portsmouth Spartans banner. 4 years later, in 1934, the team relocated to Detroit citing financial struggles. Furthermore, the franchise was renamed to the Lions with reference to the city?s MLB counterpart franchise going by the Tigers.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">The very next year, they enjoyed tremendous success as they went on to win 4 championship games between 1935 to 1957. However, their success hasn?t seen the same peak since then, as they have only won a single playoff game in 1992.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, they are the oldest NFL franchise to never appear in the Super Bowl. They also go down as the only team from the NFC to not appear for the same. This has long since been a talking point surrounding the franchise, considering their tenure in the league.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483986 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/wire.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" />
<p style="text-align: center">Heading through to Week 14 of the 2020 season, the Detroit Lions have accrued a record of 5-8 and are placed 4th in the NFC North. However, this is an improvement from their previous season record that topped out at 3-12-1. Moreover, the principal owner Martha Firestone Ford stepped down and passed on the ownership to her daughter Sheila Ford Hamp on June 23rd, 2020.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The classic blue prancing Lion logo was brought into the fold from the 1961 season but wouldn?t be made the primary logo till 1970. The logo has seen minor reiterations, chiefly stemming from a stylistic change to the outline. The Honolulu blue outline was swapped for a black outline after 2002, and it ran until 2008.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483982 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/def.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" />
<p style="text-align: center">The present logo of the Detroit Lions has been active since February 1st, 2017, and underwent a minor tweak from the previous design that ran from 2009 to 2016. Chiefly, the difference was the change in the color of the outline, which went from black to metallic silver.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Sheila Ford Hamp is a descendant of both Ford and Firestone family fortunes, and she became the principal owner in June 2020 when her mother Martha Firestone Ford stepped down. Prior to her role as the principal owner and chairperson, Sheila Hamp served as the vice chairperson of the Detroit Lions since 2014.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">A marquee sponsor out of Detroit came in the form of Quick Lane Tire and auto center, which provides routine service and up-keep maintenance for its customers.
