GREEN BAY, Wisc. -- There might not be an owner in professional football who addresses the public less often than Martha Firestone Ford.

Since taking over the Detroit Lions from her late husband in March 2014, Ford has spoken to reporters just a handful of times, and not at all since declaring her love for Jim Caldwell on Jan. 11, 2016. That was 1,085 days ago.

After Sunday’s 31-0 win against Green Bay, she broke her silence with a brief remark while passing reporters in a hallway beneath Lambeau Field.

”We finished in a good way," Ford said.

That, they did. The Lions shut out Green Bay for the first time since 1973, and shut them out in Wisconsin for the first time since 1970. They’ve now won four straight against Green Bay, and swept them in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1982-83.

But they also finished just 6-10 in Matt Patricia’s debut season, a year that has been filled with setbacks and controversies, with only the briefest of reprieves. They were three games worse than last year, and two games worse than the low-water mark during the Jim Caldwell era. At 6-10, they had their worst season since 2012.

There’s work to do as the Lions head into the offseason, most notably on offense, where coordinator Jim Bob Cooter is facing an uncertain future.

“We’ll just get through tonight,” coach Matt Patricia said, when asked about staff turnover. “We’ll take a good hard look at every aspect of the organization that we can. It’s nothing where can narrow it down and say, ‘This is what we’re doing,’ because the emotions of a season run really high, and you always want to make the best decision.”

Some more quotes from around the locker rooms:

Lions coach Matt Patricia, on winning when some wanted them to tank: "When you play the game of football, I think a lot of times the part of it that’s hard to understand -- they play for each other. They play for the dedication and the commitment that they all make. I think it was great to see here at the end, and those guys sticking with it and really grinding it out for another 60-minute game. Again, give them the credit, the did a great job.

Patricia, on Zach Zenner stepping up: "A guy that’s just consistent. He’s tough, he’s ready to go, he takes good care of his body, he’s always on top of the game plan and is somebody that we can put in any situation and will execute to the highest of his ability. So I think it was kind of not a surprise, for those of us who have been around him in those situations. When his opportunity came, he would just play extremely hard. He could help us win, and he’s certainly done that. He grinds it out.

Lions RB LeGarrette Blount, on wanting to play next year: “I feel like my body ... look at it, you know what I’m saying? A 32 year old looking like this? There ain’t a lot of us looking like this.”

Lions TE Levine Toiolo, on playing in this offense: “It was good. Obviously we weren’t as successful as we wanted to be, but I mean, I think that every offense is going to have things to work through. We finished pretty strong today, run game and pass game did well.”

Toiolo, on whether Cooter should return: “I don’t have any thoughts on that. That’s not my job here.”

Lions QB Matthew Stafford, on whether he needs surgery on any body parts: “Not that I know of.”

Lions safety Glover Quin, on whether this was his last game: “I am just enjoying the moment right now. It has been a long year. Being with my teammates and the guys around me, we have made the most of it and had a lot of fun. So right now, I am enjoying the moment because you never know when you will get another one like this. If this is it, I will definitely remember this moment.”

Lions rookie WR Brandon Powell, on his 100-yard day: "To have a game like this is one, I will look back to for the rest of my life. It was my first start, 100 yards against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. It will be one of those games that will be on my wall for my kids to watch. It was just a great experience for me.”

Packers OC/head coach Joe Philbin: “We couldn’t really get the run game going at all. It seemed like, at least for me, we were in second-and-long and third-and-long an awful lot. Again, it starts with me as the head coach. I call the plays, and didn’t really have a good day on offense whatsoever.”

Philbin, on Matt Prater’s TD pass: “It was a really good play. We obviously have to be better prepared for that particular play, and we weren’t, and they executed it well. They ended up with four extra points. They were lining up for a field goal, and they ended up with a touchdown. So, that’s coaching. That’s on me.”
