The NFL season is finally upon us, and that means another year of our On Paper previews. For the uninitiated, I’m going to try and keep it simple. These previews are meant to be as objective as possible by looking at the statistical output from each team. I will look at all four individual matchups…

The 2024 NFL season kicks off in just a few hours, and here at Pride of Detroit, our staff has made their picks for not only tonight’s game but the entire slate of Week 1 games. Tonight’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens gets things started, and then the league heads…

The Detroit Lions held their second practice of Week 1 on Thursday, as they prepare to take on the Los Angeles Rams on “Sunday Night Football.” Despite having as many as 15 players dealing with injuries at the end of training camp, the Lions have managed their rehabilitation well and the majority of players returned…

It’s always been a challenge to cover the Detroit Lions press conferences of the coordinators. Aaron Glenn, Dave Fipp, and Ben Johnson take the podium back-to-back-to-back in the span of 90 minutes, and with it being so late in the week, it’s hard to comprehensively cover every notable thing they say.

With all the positive predictions surrounding the Detroit Lions this offseason—including a non-insignificant amount of Super Bowl picks—I figured it’s worth pointing out one of the few detractors out there. The latest actually comes from a current NFL executive in a survey from The Athletic’s Mike Sando.

The Detroit Lions will kick off their 2024 season with a fitting opponent in the Los Angeles Rams, who they defeated in the playoffs just eight months prior. The two teams will face off in the first “Sunday Night Football” game of the 2024 season, and there are several big matchups to keep an eye…

Earlier in the week, Erik Schlitt and I recorded a podcast answering all of your Detroit Lions questions for Week 1. Well, not all of them. There were plenty of leftover questions, and beginning this year, I wanted to try and commit to doing both a podcast mailbag and a written mailbag each week. No…

Two of the University of Michigan football team’s finest will reunite Sunday, but this time on opposite sides of the field. The Detroit Lions’ own Aidan Hutchinson will face former teammate now Los Angeles Ram Blake Corum in each team’s season opener in the national spotlight on Sunday Night Football. Corum, 2024 College Football Playoff…

In what was the shortest offseasons in my lifetime, football has returned to our lives. The NFL schedule makers came up with a good way to start the 2024 NFL season with a rematch of last year’s NFC Wild Card game between the Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Rams on “Sunday Night Football.” The…

All offseason, the Detroit Lions were targeting to get veteran nose tackle DJ Reader ready for their Week 2 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, Christmas could be coming early, as coach Dan Campbell said on Wednesday that Reader may play in the team’s season opener against the Los Angeles Rams.

While most of the Detroit Lions roster is set, there is one position that remains a bit of a mystery. Despite coach Dan Campbell’s pleas for a big-bodied wide receiver to step up in training camp, it never ended up happening, and now the Lions simply don’t have one on their 53-man roster.

The Detroit Lions host the Los Angeles Rams in a rematch of the Wild Card round of the playoffs on Sunday night. Despite just being a few months apart, both teams look considerably different. The Rams have made a few more changes than the Lions, shaking up their secondary and shuffling around their defensive line…

The Detroit Lions took the field on Tuesday afternoon for their initial Week 1 practice in preparation for Sunday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. It’s a slight deviation from a typical NFL schedule. Most Tuesdays are a player’s day off with Wednesday being the first practice of the week, but it appears the…

As if Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell couldn’t be more beloved. In just three short years, he’s managed to win in an “unwinnable” city. Along the way, he’s earned a ton of fans through his genuine and affable personality, not to mention some quirky moments here and there.

The first game of the 2024 NFL season is just days away, and it’s just time to say the quiet part out loud: the Detroit Lions are one of the best teams in football and quite possibly the best. This team has Super Bowl aspirations, and just about every analyst you’ll read or hear from…

Former second-round draft pick Josh Paschal starting and playing throughout the entirety of the Detroit Lions 24-23 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2 of the NFL preseason caught a lot of eyeballs and Twitter fingers. You could argue Paschal was the second most valuable player getting snaps against the Chiefs aside from…

Our 2024 Detroit Lions preview series continues now with the defense. This year, the Lions made some monster changes on that side of the ball in the hopes of improving a unit that ranked 23rd in points allowed last year. Whether it be free agent additions like DJ Reader, drafted talent like Terrion Arnold, or…

On Monday, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell spent some time with the media to provide some injury updates. The news was mostly good, with the focus of the conversation being on safety Ifeatu Melifonwu, who is a bit of an unknown heading into Week 1. Campbell’s comments indicated that the rest of the players…

The last time the Detroit Lions faced off against the Los Angeles Rams, Ford Field broke some records. Fans, excited for the first home playoff game in 30 years, set the stadium record for noise, reaching an ear-bleeding 133.6 decibels—a mark they would actually break the following week against the Buccaneers in the Divisional Round…

It’s officially Week 1 of the 2024 NFL regular season and during Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell’s time with the media on Monday, he provided updates on the players dealing with injuries. Fortunately, the news is mostly good, as the majority of injured players are expected to play in this Sunday’s game, with only defensive…
