On Wednesday, the Detroit Lions released their injury report and it included linebacker and team captain Alex Anzalone. While the team has yet to officially confirm the move, this is an indicator that he has opened his injury evaluation window as a potential precursor for being removed from injured reserve.

Well before the 49ers game went triple zeroes, before kickoff even perhaps, the Detroit Lions were hurtling towards a clash of ages against the Minnesota Vikings. Nowhere in NFL history can you find two 14-2 teams battling in the final week for the No. 1 seed in the NFL playoffs and a division crown, yet…

Voting for the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games finished last week, and on Tuesday, the NFL revealed the final fan vote tally. Before we get into it, the fan vote only represents one-third of the equation when determining the Pro Bowl roster. Coaches account for another third, while player votes finish out the formula for…

Despite earlier reports that the Detroit Lions would sport their throwback jerseys in their regular season finale against the Minnesota Vikings, it appears they’re going with a more modern look. Late on Tuesday night, the Lions Twitter account tweeted out a message that not-so-subtly suggested they are going with their all-black uniforms for Week 18.

Regardless of the stakes, Dan Campbell was adamant about bringing everything—and everyone—they had out to the West Coast for this matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Even Fred Warner eventually learned why the Detroit Lions showed up in full force. Detroit finished their 2024 season with a perfect 8-0 record on the road, and it…

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell opened Week 17 by declaring that they would not rest their starters, regardless of the playoff implications associated with their game against the San Francisco 49ers. Campbell stood true to his word—and logically explained why after the game—but there were a few starters who saw their roles scaled back a…

After the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Green Bay Packers late Sunday afternoon, the Detroit Lions’ game against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday became somewhat meaningless when it comes to NFC playoff standings. With the Vikings already at 14 wins, Detroit would need to beat Minnesota in Week 18 to win the division and the…

It’s been quite a year for the Detroit Lions offense. Going into the final week of the season, the Lions still have the best scoring offense in football, averaging a league-leading 32.9 points per game. With their 40-34 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night, the Lions managed to accomplish two offensive milestones…

Meaningless has no meaning to the Detroit Lions. The Lions marched into Santa Clara with an agenda. The winner of this game would not alter the standings for Detroit nor its division, but a victory over the San Francisco 49ers was a year in the making. Revenge was a key narrative for Detroit on Monday…

When it became clear that the Detroit Lions were going to play their starters against the San Francisco 49ers, the goal for many became clear: leave Santa Clarita without any major injuries. It appears the Lions succeeded in that goal, but coach Dan Campbell did provide two very important injury updates in his post-game press…

The Detroit Lions promised they were going to give it their all against the San Francisco 49ers, even if there was nothing on the line. They lived up to their word with another gritty win on “Monday Night Football.” Detroit will now finish the 2024 regular season undefeated on the road. But a huge home…

The Detroit Lions (13-2) have declared their inactives ahead of the Week 17 “Monday Night Football” matchup with the San Francisco 49ers (6-9). One of the more interesting moves the Lions made this past week was to re-sign quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Not only does Bridgewater give the Lions valuable veteran depth at the most important…

In Week 17, the Detroit Lions (13-2) will take on the San Francisco 49ers (6-9) in Santa Clara on “Monday Night Football.” As the Lions continue to work their way through injuries and return players as quickly as possible, there’s been some roster shuffling this week. If you missed any of the shuffling ahead of…

Before you watch a meaningless Detroit Lions vs. San Francisco 49ers game, why not watch a meaningless virtual Detroit Lions vs. San Francisco 49ers game? On Monday morning, our Madden simulation series will continue live with a Lions vs. 49ers matchup meant to duplicate what will happen in the Week 17 “Monday Night Football” matchup.

As expected the final regular season game of the 2024 NFL season will decide the NFC North winner and the conference’s No. 1 seed for the playoffs. On Sunday night, the NFL announced that the matchup between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings has been flexed to “Sunday Night Football” for Week 18, making it…

As Week 17 rolls on, “Sunday Night Football” features the Atlanta Falcons and Washington Commanders in a matchup that will have an impact on the NFC playoff picture. Unfortunately for the Falcons and Commanders, they didn’t get any help today as both the Eagles and Buccaneers won their respective games.

With a Christmas doubleheader, a Thursday night game, and a Saturday tripleheader, Sunday’s slate of Week 17 games isn’t the jam-packed itinerary we’re used to seeing during a normal NFL week. And for Detroit Lions fans, there’s really only one game we care about: Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings. All week, Lions fans have…

In the beginning, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell wasn’t loved around the country like he is now. In fact, after his introductory press conference, some people were already wondering if the Lions had made yet another mistake by hiring the former player. After all, he wasn’t a play-caller like so many other trendy candidates around…

As I’m sure you’re aware by now, the Detroit Lions could clinch the NFC No. 1 seed by Monday night. The scenario is simple: first, they need the Green Bay Packers to defeat the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon (4:25 p.m. ET on FOX — nationally televised). Then the Lions need to defeat the San…

For the second time this year, a sideline interaction between Detroit Lions receiver Jameson Williams and Chicago Bears defensive back Tyrique Stevenson has drawn a fine from the NFL. Back on Thanksgiving, the NFL fined Stevenson for tripping Williams on the sideline, even though it was Williams who was penalized for throwing the ball at…
