The Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers face off Monday night in a game that certainly means more to Detroit. Not only will they be seeking revenge from the NFC Championship Game last year (despite their public insistence they’re looking forward), but a win could propel them to the No. 1 seed overall in the…

The Detroit Lions’ crazy trick play against the Chicago Bears—officially called the stumblebum—continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. The play may be almost a full week old at this point, but on Friday, the team dropped their mic’d up video from the game, and it captures the absolute joy from that moment.

The Detroit Lions (13-2) and San Francisco 49ers (6-9) will square off in Week 17 and both teams were back on the practice field on Friday as they prepare for “Monday Night Football.” Let’s take a look at Friday’s injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note that any changes…

It hasn’t been a typical journey, and he’s had his bumps along the way, but it’s time to finally say it: Jameson Williams has arrived. The third-year Detroit Lions receiver didn’t have much to his name after his first two years in the NFL. His first season, as expected, was mostly a redshirt thanks to…

The fans, players, and staff have wanted revenge against the San Francisco 49ers since the Detroit Lions lost to them in the NFC Championship game last season. Back in May when the schedule was announced, this game was circled by many, and with it being a “Monday Night Football” matchup it was primed to be…

As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Detroit Lions are waiving linebacker Kwon Alexander. This will be the second recently added Lions linebacker cut by the team this week. On Tuesday, the Lions waived David Long, who was subsequently claimed by the Tennessee Titans on waivers, only to fail a physical.

The Detroit Lions (13-2) are headed back to Santa Clara to take on the San Francisco 49ers (6-9) in Week 17 on “Monday Night Football.” Because the Lions play on Monday this week, their normal schedule is pushed back a day. That means, instead of holding their initial practice on Wednesday, they open the week…

On Thursday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell announced that WR/RET Kalif Raymond will open his 21-day injury evaluation window and begin practicing. Raymond injured his hamstring in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts and was placed on injured reserve with the expectation that he would be able to return to the team at some point…

According to ESPN’s Ben Baby, two Detroit Lions are chasing some contract bonuses as the regular season comes to a close. Lions defensive end Za’Darius Smith has a couple of incentives left on his contract, which the Lions inherited after trading for the pass rushers at the deadline this year. Per Baby, if Smith earns…

On Christmas, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and his family showed some holiday spirit with a hilarious post on social media from Campbell’s wife, Holly. In a photo, the Campbell family is huddled in front of their Christmas tree, with all of them wearing matching Christmas sweaters. And written on the sweaters?

Hope you’re having a happy holiday season, but the NFL doesn’t care about you or your family or your friends. They want your eyeballs. They want you to get frustrated with your grandparent’s wi-fi as the Netflix red wheel spins and spins, Patrick Mahomes stands frozen mid-drop back. They want to own every nook and…

As we work our way through Week 17, the Detroit Lions continue to make roster moves in order to gain roster fluidity. On Tuesday, they announced that they’ve released linebacker David Long and re-signed wide receiver/returner Maurice Alexander to the practice squad. Following both these transactions, the Lions now have two open spots on their…

Happy Holidays! Just when you think the Detroit Lions have tried every trick play in the book, they come up with something new. Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson fooled everyone again in Week 16 against the Bears, rolling out a “fake stumble” play action pass that resulted in a Sam LaPorta touchdown. The season is…

If you are on Twitter (I am never calling it “X”), then you probably saw a change in Detroit Lions rookie offensive lineman Christian Mahogany’s profile picture leading up to the Week 16 matchup with the Chicago Bears. And if you are a nerd such as me, then you were likely pretty excited to watch…

The 2024 Detroit Lions are a team that doesn’t forget. They remember what went wrong in the two losses this season, and rebounded the following week with a big win. They also don’t forget about what happened to them the year before. They remember losing to the Seattle Seahawks in overtime, ruining Thanksgiving by losing…

For this week’s NFL power rankings, the Detroit Lions take their spot back atop NFC teams in just about every one of the rankings we look at every week. After the loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 15, the Lions dropped as low as four in rankings. But they rebounded this week for a…

With only two games remaining in the 2024 NFL regular season, the Detroit Lions playoff picture is coming into focus. The Lions could clinch the NFC North and the top seed in the conference as early as this week. However, with bad outcomes over the next two weeks, the Lions could fall as far as…
