For a half, it looked like the Detroit Lions were in control of this game on a level they have been all season. Then things fell apart in a hurry in the final two quarters against the Chicago Bears, but a late-game meltdown from Caleb Williams and Matt Eberful saved the day.

The Miami Dolphins (5-6) are traveling north to Wisconsin to take on the Green Bay Packers (8-3) on a special Thanksgiving Day edition of “Thursday Night Football.” These two teams have met just 16 times in their histories, with the Dolphins holding a 10-6 lead, though the Packers have won five of the last six…

The Detroit Lions escaped Thanksgiving Day with a nail-biting win over the Chicago Bears, but, unfortunately, they couldn’t escape another injury-filled game. The defense, in particular, got it hard—yet again—and based on updates from Lions coach Dan Campbell, it certainly sounds like some players will miss some time moving forward.

There are a lot of things the Detroit Lions can be thankful for this Thanksgiving. They’re 11-1 on the season and sit atop the NFL with a chance to clinch a playoff spot this weekend. They’ve tied a franchise record (set in 1934) with 10 straight wins. They’re 3-0 when facing NFC North teams and…

It’s a tradition unlike any other: the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. What has long been mocked for decades is now one of the most anticipated moments of the football week. The Lions are 10-1, holding first place in the NFC North, the NFC, and the NFL. It’s their best start since the 1934 season—the…

The Detroit Lions (10-1) have declared their inactives ahead of the Week 13 matchup with the Chicago Bears (4-7) on Thanksgiving Day. With teams playing on a short week, any injury puts a player at risk of missing this Thursday’s game and the Lions unfortunately pay the price, as starters LT Taylor Decker and CB…

The Detroit Lions enter Thanksgiving week as one of the league’s hottest teams. Despite winning last week’s game against the Indianapolis Colts by 18 points on the road, it felt like an off week for the Lions—that’s how good they are right now. They enter Week 13 hosting a Chicago Bears team that’s still a…

The Detroit Lions (10-1) and Chicago Bears (4-7) released their injury designations for their upcoming Week 13 battle on Thanksgiving Day, and both teams have ruled out two players. Let’s take a look at Wednesday’s estimated (walkthrough) injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note that any changes from yesterday’s…

The Detroit Lions made a slew of roster moves to prepare for Thursday’s game against the Chicago Bears. Given that it has been an injury-riddled week and they have little time to prepare, it’s no surprise that the Lions have called in three reinforcements from the practice squad.

Thanksgiving is a time to catch up with friends, family and so much more, all while football roars on somewhere. It’s a good and honest and proper tradition and the Lions have been the fixture forever on that football side. Enjoy time with your loved ones, and give a thought for the Chicago Bears, a…

I’m excited for the FIRST EVER live PODcast next week on Wednesday December 4 and I want you to come experience it with us. You can buy tickets right here for our first event! This is the first time myself, Erik, Ryan and Chris will all be in the same room with each other at…

The Detroit Lions (10-1) are back home inside the comfy confines of Ford Field in Week 13, hosting division rival the Chicago Bears (4-7) for their annual Thanksgiving Day game. If the Lions want to continue their hot streak, they’ll need to follow the keys to victory laid out in this week’s Honolulu Blueprint.

The Detroit Lions are in search of a new punt returner after incumbent Kalif Raymond was carted off the field with an injury last week. The Lions temporarily subbed in All-Pro WR Amon-Ra St. Brown to return punts, but that drew mixed reactions given the heightened risk of injury on special teams play. It’s still…

The Detroit Lions are going to need a new punt returning this week, as Kalif Raymond is dealing with a foot injury and is not expected to play on Thanksgiving against the Chicago Bears. Much to the dismay of many Lions fans, Detroit used Amon-Ra St. Brown in the middle of last week’s game. While…

The Detroit Lions (10-1) and Chicago Bears (4-7) are preparing for a Thanksgiving Day showdown. The Lions are dealing with injuries to several key players and they held a second walkthrough practice in order to allow the team—as well as some of their superstars—to heal up on a short week.

Two years ago, it would have been unthinkable, but the Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday they have waived defensive end James Houston. The Lions drafted Houston in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He failed to make the initial 53-man roster that year but went to the team’s practice squad. After he made…

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 to give us some insight into the Chicago Bears, the systemic changes with their offense, the development of Caleb Williams, and how the rest of…

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell isn’t known for stirring the pot too often. He’s excellent at avoiding controversial topics and handles himself extremely well at the podium. I don’t think it’s fair to say that he slipped on Monday, but we saw a rare moment of him throwing some subtle—and deserved—criticism toward the NFL regarding…

The NFL closes out Week 12 with the latest edition of the Harbaugh Bowl, as Jim Harbaugh’s Los Angeles Chargers (7-3) welcome in John Harbaugh’s Baltimore Ravens (7-4) on “Monday Night Football.” The brothers have faced off two other times in their coaching histories, with older brother John winning both battles—including in Super Bowl 47.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams will not face any charges from an encounter with Detroit police in early October. During a traffic stop with his brother driving, it was revealed to officers that both people in the car were carrying weapons—his brother’s in the backseat and Williams’ under his own passenger seat. However, while…
