The Detroit Lions continue to hold the No. 2 seed in the NFC Playoff Picture, but with the Philadelphia Eagles facing the Kansas City Chiefs this week, you can just smell that top seed. Of course, if the Lions just continue to take care of their own business—including this week against the Chicago Bears—they’ll have…

The Detroit Lions are 7-2 and will play just their second game against a division rival when they host the Chicago Bears at Ford Field in Week 11. The folks over at DraftKings Sportsbook have heavily favored the Lions in this game, but the betting line has fluctuated throughout the week, likely due to injury…

In his young career, Detroit Lions 2022 first-round pick Jameson Williams has just nine catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns. For a 22-year-old player who came into the NFL with high hopes of being an extremely productive player, it would be understandable to be frustrated with the lack of production. But Williams, who has…

As things stand, the Detroit Lions currently hold the No. 2 seed in the NFC, with the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of them holding the No. 1 seed.

On any given week, you can catch an incredibly passionate Penei Sewell giving an invigorating pregame speech, surrounded by teammates hanging on his every word. At just 23 years old, the offensive lineman quickly became a leader on the Detroit Lions—something that didn’t just start this year, either. He’s been doing this all along, cementing…

The Detroit Lions enter the “easy” part of their schedule this week with the Chicago Bears coming to town. But despite their 3-7 record, the Lions don’t quite view this as an easy win. “This team plays hard, they finish, and they’ve got some dudes on offense and defense. They’ve got some players now,” coach…

We may only get Detroit Lions football through January—or if we’re lucky, February—but fans will have something to look forward to all offseason. According to Justin Rogers of the Detroit News, Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown will reportedly be featured in the second season of the popular Netflix series “Quarterbacks.”

The Detroit Lions struggled defensively against the Los Angeles Chargers, allowing 421 yards of offense and 38 points—including five straight touchdown drives to end the game. The performance has raised questions about whether the Lions defense is capable of hanging with some of the best offenses and quarterbacks in the NFL.

Detroit Lions fans are understandably concerned about the team’s pass defense after a tough performance against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. It’s not just about Justin Herbert lighting the Lions defense up, though. Lamar Jackson did the same a month ago, and Geno Smith did it before that.

We got news earlier this week that defensive end James Houston may not be returning until the very end of the season—if at all—but things could be looking better for Detroit Lions safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson. In an Instagram Live stream this week, Gardner-Johnson was shown doing some pretty aggressive lifts, despite having torn his pectoral…

Before anyone panics, I want everyone to try and remember this is what happens when a franchise finds success and is headed in the right direction. Assistant coaches shine in a great situation, and ultimately—they are hired away by other teams looking to find the right winning formula. And for the Detroit Lions, that may…

It was a fantasy goldmine for the Detroit Lions in Los Angeles, and returning home to face the Chicago Bears could keep the good times rolling. The Bears have somehow accumulated three wins so far, but the gap between these divisional rivals is not up for debate. Expect Detroit to keep the foot on the…

The Detroit Lions are in the driver’s seat in the NFC North as we enter Week 11 of the 2023 NFL season. At 7-2, the Lions hold a 1.5-game lead over the 6-4 Minnesota Vikings, but with the Vikings currently on a five-game winning streak, that hold on the division doesn’t seem as tight.

According to NFL Network, Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is expected to make his return and play against the Detroit Lions this week. This news doesn’t come as much of a surprise, as Lions coach Dan Campbell said on the radio Tuesday morning that he expected Fields to be the starting quarterback this week.

The Detroit Lions have made a move to potentially bolster their pass rush. According to a report from Tom Pelissero, the Lions are signing 36-year-old veteran pass rusher Bruce Irvin. A former 2012 first-round pick, Irvin has played 103 games and tallied 55.5 sacks over 11 seasons. Last year, he started 10 games for the…

The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday that offensive lineman Halapoulivaati Vaitai is headed to injured reserve, amidst a flurry of roster moves. Vaitai was only able to make three starts this season before suffering a knee injury that held him out for an extended period of time. Even worse, when Vaitai was finally healthy enough…

Coming out of the bye week with a test on the road—against one of the top quarterbacks in the league, no less—proved to be the challenge it appeared to be at face value. The Detroit Lions would end up knocking off the Los Angeles Chargers courtesy of a last-second field goal by Riley Patterson, but…

We have talked about it a bunch throughout the first eight games of the 2023 season. How the Detroit Lions have won games in a bunch of different fashions, and in their Week 10 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers, the now 7-2 Lions found yet another way to get it done—winning 41-38 in Inglewood.

In 2023, the Detroit Lions have won games in a variety of ways. There have been games, like against Green Bay and Las Vegas, where the defense has taken over. Others, like in Tampa Bay, where the passing game led the way. The running game was dominant against the Panthers and Raiders. And everything clicked…
