Detroit Lions General Manager Brad Holmes, who is credited with helping assemble a record-setting team, said the Washington defeat stung and was humbling, but he won't let it "discredit all the positives that we were able to accomplish."
"I can't thank the players enough for all their sacrifice and strain and and you know, commitment," he said in a press conference on Thursday.
"Dan did a phenomenal job having the team prepared. Look, 15 wins, that's hard to do in a year where you don't have all the attrition that we had to deal with."
He said you can't sulk or mope to reverse the Washington loss, calling it an "unfortunate outcome."
"There's literally nothing else to do but pick yourself up and get back to work," he said.
He said the team is moving forward and "the process has already started."
He said he's happy with the core of outstanding players and still feels the team is on track to make it to the Super Bowl.
