More Detroit Lions football is right around the corner, and we would never pass up the opportunity to get some intel from the opponent’s perspective. We called on Bill Zimmerman once again from WindyCityGridiron.com to give us some insight into the Chicago Bears, the difference a month makes for a team with an interim head…

Week 16 begins with an AFC West rivalry as the Denver Broncos (9-5) travel to California to take on the Los Angeles Chargers (8-6) on “Thursday Night Football.” Entering this game, the Broncos currently sit in the No. 6 seed in the AFC playoff standings, while the Chargers are comfortably in the No. 7 seed,…

We’re entering the final stretch of NFL football, and with just three weeks left, wins are at a premium as teams make their push in playoff and divisional races. Here at Pride of Detroit, our staff have made their picks for not only Thursday night’s game, but the entire slate of Week 16 games.

The Detroit Lions got some positive injury news on Thursday, as veteran linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin returned to practice. Reeves-Maybin remains on injured reserve after suffering a neck injury against the Green Bay Packers, but now the Lions have 21 days to evaluate him at practice. He is eligible to come off IR whenever the Lions…

The Detroit Lions have the No. 1 scoring offense in football through 15 weeks, and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson continues to be a hot name for potential head coaching jobs available in 2025. During his weekly press conference, Johnson was asked for the first time this season about becoming a head coach, and he reiterated…

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell offered updates on a pair of players who have yet to suit up for the team this year, and the news was mixed. Lions safety Ifeatu Melifonwu, who has missed the entire season with a groin and finger injury, has opened his 21-day practice window on Wednesday and is now…

On Monday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said running back David Montgomery’s season was likely over as his MCL injury was headed toward surgery. On Wednesday, the tune was very different. After the Lions opted not to place Montgomery on injured reserve Tuesday, Campbell explained that the running back is seeking a third medical opinion…

The Detroit Lions’ injury situation is somehow getting worse and worse. Just when it looked like the Lions may have gotten through the worst of it—getting Levi Onwuzurike, DJ Reader, and Josh Paschal back last week—the injury gods struck them down again. Against the Buffalo Bills, the Lions lost Carlton Davis, Alim McNeill, and Khalil…

When your team has nothing left to play for, all you can do is try to ruin other people’s fun. The Detroit Lions did it back in 2022. After missing the playoffs, they had nothing to play for in Week 18 going up against the Green Bay Packers. Just because you have nothing to play…

Week 15 was not kind to the Detroit Lions. Not only did they drop their game against the Buffalo Bills and suffer four season-ending injuries, but the teams the Lions needed to lose didn’t. Our Week 15 rooting guide went 0-7 on Sunday and Monday, and it’s left the Lions in a much tighter playoff…

It’s not that the Detroit Lions lost against the Buffalo Bills—or even the manner in which they were beat. Lions fans are bumming this week because in addition to the loss—and wins by the Eagles and Vikings—Detroit suffered four serious injuries against the Bills, further depleting their already-patchworked roster.

The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday the placement of three players on injured reserve: defensive tackle Alim McNeill, cornerback Carlton Davis, and cornerback Kahlil Dorsey. On Monday, Lions coach Dan Campbell confirmed that all three players suffered serious injuries, two of which will require surgery. McNeill reportedly has a torn ACL, Davis suffered a broken…

The Detroit Lions hadn’t suffered a loss in almost three months, but their defeat at the hands of the Buffalo Bills may have been far more significant than just the second loss on the season standings. More injuries to key contributors and a thorough beatdown of the offensive line, coupled with Josh Allen doing whatever…

I’m not gonna lie, as far as losses go, that was a fun one. A loss to the Buffalo Bills and the MVP-favorite in Josh Allen is a quality loss, especially under the circumstances the Detroit Lions defense is facing. Plus, it’s a good reset for the Lions, as they enter the home stretch of…

Despite a tough loss to the Buffalo Bills, Sunday was certainly a great day for Dan Skipper. The Detroit Lions offensive lineman has been getting more and more attention lately for stepping up whenever and wherever needed. Fans just loved this clip from Dan Campbell’s postgame locker room speech after the Thanksgiving win, in which…

With recent news that they will be without star running back David Montgomery for the foreseeable future, the Detroit Lions will need to explore other options at that position. While the Lions still have second-year standout Jahmyr Gibbs and a reliable backup in Craig Reynolds, they still will need to sign another running back to…

The NFL closes out Week 15 with two “Monday Night Football” games being played on ABC and ESPN. Detroit Lions fans will likely want to turn in to ABC, as the Chicago Bears will play at the Minnesota Vikings, while the Atlanta Falcons will play at Las Vegas Raiders on ESPN.

According to a report from NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Detroit Lions are signing linebacker Anthony Pittman—who was on the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad—to their 53-man roster. While the Lions have yet to make any official roster moves, they lost four players to injury in Week 15, including running back David Montgomery, defensive tackle Alim…

The Detroit Lions injury luck cannot possibly get any worse. [Editor’s note: Who are we kidding, it probably will.] After suffering three more defensive injuries against the Buffalo Bills, the news got even worse on Monday. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Lions running back David Montgomery is “out indefinitely” after suffering an MCL injury on…
