After watching the tape of his team getting throttled 38-6 by the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell came away with one big conclusion: that was entirely his fault. “When you step back and you look at a number of performances that were very much subpar across the board, it’s not coincidence,” Campbell said.…
While some Detroit Lions fans are panicking after Detroit’s brutal loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, quarterback Jared Goff most certainly is not. He’s been here before. Just shortly after the 38-6 beatdown at M&T Bank Stadium, Goff remained as poised as ever talking to reporters. He was asked if a game like this…
“Bury the tape.” That’s the general consensus after a blow such as that. The Detroit Lions got hammered in a way that they haven’t been hammered for a while now. It’s a major blow to Lions fans and their confidence so far, but where does the team grow on it?
The Detroit Lions suffered their second loss of the season on Sunday, this time to the Baltimore Ravens. It was, quite frankly, a pathetic showing for the Lions, as Baltimore walked all over them. The Ravens did whatever they wanted on offense, and Detroit had absolutely no answers with the ball in their own hands…
The Detroit Lions are back home in Week 8 taking on the Las Vegas Raiders on “Monday Night Football” at Ford Field. Despite the Lions (5-2) struggling on the road in Baltimore in Week 7, the Raiders (3-4) loss to the lowly Bears was also equally unimpressive, and that has led to the folks over…
Sadly the Detroit Lions did not play football this week (trust me, please do not look up the scores, I beg you), so we will instead have to be entertained by some prime time football. With the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins duking it out on “Sunday Night Football,” there should be no shortage of…
The Detroit Lions bad day got even worse early in the second half. Mohamed Ibrahim, signed just this week to the practice squad, caught a kickoff midway through the third quarter, but took a big shot to the midsection on the return. He would eventually have to be carted off.
Heading into the game today, the Detroit Lions had one of their toughest tests of the season, going on the road again, this time to play the Baltimore Ravens. After defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road last week, Detroit was getting recognized by the media, and getting called a top-five team—some even believed…
Up until Sunday, the 2023 Detroit Lions met every single challenge they faced. At 5-1, they truly looked like one of the best teams in the league. But facing a tough Baltimore Ravens team on the road, Detroit looked like one of the worst teams. Baltimore’s offense scored touchdowns on all four of their first…
The Detroit Lions are suddenly a team with pretty darn high expectations for the 2023 season. At 5-1, they sit comfortably atop the NFC North and have a share of the lead in the entire conference. But if they want this season to be truly special—with success deep into January—they’re going to have to take…
The 5-1 Detroit Lions are first in the NFC North, tied for first in the NFC, and tied for first in the entire NFL. Sure, it’s only Week 7, but things are looking pretty dang good for the fellas in Honolulu Blue, and that means it’s time to start thinking about some big goals for…
The national praise for the Lions continues to roll in, both for the team overall and for quarterback Jared Goff. This week, FTN Network’s Aaron Schatz was a guest on the Pump Fake Podcast hosted by USA Today’s Jarrett Bailey. During Friday’s Week 7 preview episode, the two spent about four and a half minutes…
It’s been a weird few weeks for Michigan universities and now it all collides on Saturday. Michigan and Michigan State, hate week, things of that nature. Neither university is looking very clean, although I suppose on the field it’s hard to deny the wins that the Wolverines have stacked so far in the season. They’re…
The Detroit Lions are getting some much needed help with a few key players returning from injury as they prepare for a tough road matchup against the 4-2 Baltimore Ravens. Safety Brian Branch and running back Jahmyr Gibbs will be ready to go as they both aren’t carrying any injury designation, while it appears that…
Week 7 opened with the Jacksonville Jaguars and New Orleans Saints in what looked like it was going to be a blowout, but turned into an interesting fourth quarter. Entering the final 15 minutes of the game, the Jaguars held a 24-9 lead, but two long Saints drives resulted in two touchdowns (and a two-point…
Not only are the Detroit Lions one of the best teams in the NFL through six weeks with a record of 5-1, but they are also one of the hottest teams. Through the last four weeks, the Lions have won each game by two scores or more, and have cemented themselves in the discussion as…
Last week, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown said on our PODcast that his alma mater USC was going to give it to Notre Dame this year. Unfortunately for St. Brown, that’s not exactly how things went down. The Trojans not only lost to the Fighting Irish, but USC got waxed to the tune…
The Detroit Lions (5-1) were back on the practice field on Thursday, after scaling things back the day prior and only holding a walkthrough. Because yesterday’s participation levels were estimates, today’s report will give a stronger indicator of where players are at, heading into their Week 7 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens (4-2).
For the second week in a row, the Detroit Lions are on the road to face yet another division leader; this time, it’s the Baltimore Ravens, the first-place team in the AFC North. Baltimore is getting it done with defense this season, but with the return of Lamar Jackson playing like the MVP he once…
