On Sunday, the Detroit Lions enter a new world: life without Aidan Hutchinson. The Lions could go in several different directions in adjusting to a roster without their Defensive Player of the Year candidate. They could adjust their entire scheme. They could trade for a player. They may just end up relying more on their…

The Cleveland Browns are a sinking ship at 1-5 through six games, and they’ve already shown they could be sellers at the trade deadline after sending Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills. Naturally, Detroit Lions fans have looked their way when seeking possible trade options to help with the team’s needs on defense following the…

The Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings have declared their Week 7 injury designations ahead of their divisional matchup on Sunday. Let’s take a look at Friday’s injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note that any changes from yesterday’s report will be bolded.

As the Detroit Lions still try to navigate in a post-Aidan Hutchinson season, there are several players they will rely upon more to be a disruptive force on nature. The coaching staff has already identified Alim McNeill, DJ Reader, Josh Paschal, and Levi Onwuzurike as players who will need to take their game to a…

The signature jug Aidan Hutchinson carries on game day holds quite a bit more importance than simply keeping him hydrated. Each week, it carries the names of sick children who Hutchinson and his family visit at metro Detroit hospitals, including C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor. So when it was Hutch’s turn to need…

Week 7 for the Detroit Lions could be their Game of the Year. With an extremely competitive division, no teams in the NFL are looking better right now that the Lions and Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are led by a tremendous defense that ranks first in just about every statistical category, but they’ll have their…

It’s the first NFC North matchup of the year, and the Detroit Lions find themselves up against the team that sits atop the division, the Minnesota Vikings. Football is back, and we would never pass up the opportunity to get some intel from the opponent’s perspective. We called on Christopher Gates of DailyNorseman.com to give…

The Denver Broncos (3-3) and head coach Sean Payton, will travel to his old stomping grounds to take on the New Orleans Saints to kick off Week 7. Over 15 seasons in New Orleans, Payton won a franchise record 152 games, including a Super Bowl victory in 2009. In the 2022 offseason, the Saints traded…

From the outside looking in, it certainly seemed like the Detroit Lions emptied the bag when it came to their offensive trick play calls against the Dallas Cowboys last week. Still clearly a little perturbed from the result of last year’s Dallas game—when a go-ahead trick play to Taylor Decker was nullified by a wrongful…

In each of the last two weeks, there has been a field goal block involving a relatively new strategy, and Detroit Lions special teams coordinator Dave Fipp is not a fan of it. In short, the strategy involves a defender immediately holding down the long snapper while another member of the block team hurdles over…

The Detroit Lions (4-1) will take on the Minnesota Vikings (5-0) in Week 7 of the 2024 regular season with divisional implications on the line. One of the unique things about this matchup is that both teams have retained their head coach and all three coordinators from the previous season, making this the first opponent…

Unsurprisingly, this week’s mailbox was filled with questions about Aidan Hutchinson and how the Detroit Lions defense will respond to his (likely) season-ending injury. So on this week’s Midweek Mailbag podcast, we tried to tackle them all in one segment, so that we could move on in the second.

The blowout victory over the Dallas Cowboys sits in the past, and the Detroit Lions are moving on to bigger and better things—like playing a Minnesota Vikings team that sits at 5-0 on the season and 1-0 in the division. Last year, the Lions clinched their first NFC North title with a win over the…

The Detroit Lions stay on the road in Week 7, as they travel to the Twin Cities to take on the undefeated Minnesota Vikings, in a showdown for the early lead for the NFC North crown. While the Lions demolished the Cowboys in Week 6, they suffered a few key injuries during the game, while…

As the NFL trade deadline—dated November 5—nears, questions continue to rise about whether the Detroit Lions will be buyers in the wake of Aidan Hutchinson’s loss. We’ve already thrown our preferred additions out there, but now that trades are actually happening across the NFL, so are the rumors.

Back in Week 3, Detroit Lions punter Jack Fox won NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his ridiculous punting performance against the Arizona Cardinals. The following game, it was Jared Goff’s turn to earn weekly honors, earning NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his “perfect” game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Meko Scott and I (Morgan Cannon) are back on the Pride of Detroit YouTube channel, discussing several topics from the Detroit Lions game against the Dallas Cowboys, as well as our thoughts on whether or not we believe the Lions have the best safety and running back duos in the NFL.

At times, the first series of a football game can tell you a lot. Typically, teams will come out on their first offensive drive with a plan. Whether they are trying to test a specific player or portion of the defense, or they are trying to set something up for later in the game, good…

The Detroit Lions are passing their litmus tests with flying colors so far this season, taking down two NFC powerhouses in the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys. Now, they face arguably their toughest test yet, taking on the undefeated Minnesota Vikings for the lead in the NFC North. Which matchup is the key to a…

According to his agency, Alim McNeill has agreed on a four-year extension to stay with the Detroit Lions. He becomes the second Lions player to agree to a new contract in less than a week. On Saturday night, running back David Montgomery signed a two-year, $18.25 million extension to have him signed through the 2027…
