VIDEO: Adorable Family Dressed as Matt Patricia and His Pencil Definitely Won Halloween
By Michael Luciano
We might need to call off the search for the best NFL fan Halloween costume, because this father-daughter combo might have taken home the gold medal already. Before the Detroit Lions hosted the New York Giants, this young Lions fans went as head coach Matt Patricia for Halloween, with dad serving as Patricia's trademark pencil behind his ear.
Now all we need is the laminated play sheet! Mom? Where you at?
After stumbling out of the gates and looking like he was going to join Eric Mangini and Romeo Crennel as former Bill Belichick assistants who fizzled out as head coaches, Patricia has the Lions playing some inspired football. They might be 2-3-1, but they are a Patrick Mahomes QB sneak and a few blown calls on Monday Night away from 4-1-1.
Some have taken objection to the fact that the dad opted to go as the pencil, rather than the other way around, but that shouldn't detract from what a quality costume this is.
We're sure to see more quality Halloween costumes as the day rolls along, but this family is clearly in first place as of right now, in terms of creativity.
