Without a doubt, one of the most pivotal plays in the Detroit Lions’ Divisional Round loss to the Washington Commanders happened late in the first quarter on a third-and-1 play. The Lions had the ball at Washington’s 17-yard line, looking to build on their 7-3 lead. It was really the first and last time the…

Let’s set the table a bit here. In 1990, I was born into this world a Detroit Lions fan. Since I can remember, I have loved this city and this team with every part of my soul. Early on, it was fun for a kid that was into sports to be a Lions fan in…

The Detroit Lions continue to chip away at their own free agency class. On Wednesday, they announced that they’ve re-signed guard Netane Muti. Last year, the Lions signed Muti to a futures deal back in February after he finished the season on the Las Vegas Raiders’ practice squad. Muti entered training camp with a legitimate…

On Wednesday afternoon, former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was introduced to the media for the first time as the Chicago Bears’ new head coach. He spoke for about 30 minutes on why he chose the job, what his plans are for the Bears, and everything he wants to accomplish in Chicago.

The Detroit Lions have another coaching vacancy to fill. The New England Patriots are reportedly hiring Lions run game coordinator/defensive line coach Terrell Williams to be their new defensive coordinator. There, Williams will reunite recently-hired Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. Williams and Vrabel coached together for six years with the Tennessee Titans—Vrabel as the head…

The Detroit Lions have wasted no time in preparing their roster for the 2025 season. They’ve already signed 11 of their former practice squad players to futures deals, as well as signing defensive back Morice Norris back for another year. On Tuesday, the Lions added their first player who spent the 2024 season on a…

The dust is still settling on Ben Johnson’s somewhat shocking decision to take the head coaching job with the Chicago Bears. Obviously, it was Johnson’s time to go, but many Detroit Lions fans were upset that he chose to go to a division rival. Outside of a great Instagram post from running back David Montgomery,…

After three years of speculation, the inevitable has happened: Ben Johnson has left the Detroit Lions to be a head coach elsewhere. Of course, the location of “elsewhere” is a non-trivial consideration here. Johnson left for a division rival in the Chicago Bears, leading to a lot of discourse about how big that rivalry will…

It’s been a whirlwind of emotions for Detroit Lions players and fans over the last few days. As if the painful loss to the Washington Commanders in the Divisional Round wasn’t enough, the Lions organization is seeing their entire coaching staff being picked apart by other teams. It appears like the Lions will be losing…

The Detroit Lions’ magical season came to a shockingly abrupt end with a 45-31 loss at the hands of the Washington Commanders. The Lions couldn’t keep rookie Jayden Daniels in-check, as they allowed more than 34 points for only the second time in their last 29 games. Offensively, they snowballed, turning the ball over five…

With Ben Johnson now heading to Chicago, the biggest task ahead of the Detroit Lions is finding a new offensive coordinator. For the last three years, the team has been dragged to success by a top-five offense, and while the roster on offense remains impressive, Detroit must choose their next play-caller wisely.

Before we dive into this week’s movers, I just want to thank you all for another wonderful season. I know we don’t always agree on who’s trending up or down, but I love the discourse and being able to hear what you think in the comments. Here’s to next year.

It’s been no secret that the Detroit Lions could lose one, if not both of their coordinators this offseason, but when news broke that Ben Johnson was leaving to go to a division rival, that certainly cut a little deeper than expected. The connection to the Chicago Bears has been floating out there for a…

The Detroit Lions announced on Monday afternoon that they have made 12 roster transactions, signing 11 players to futures contracts as well as defensive back Morice Norris to the active roster. Norris, an undrafted free agent out of Fresno State in 2024, was released from the Lions roster during training camp after a hamstring injury…

When a season as highly-hyped as the 2024 Detroit Lions sees such a devastating and sudden ending, it’s bound to draw anger. The Lions—Super Bowl favorites for most of the year—didn’t win the Super Bowl. They didn’t even get to the NFC Championship game or win a playoff game. For fans and players alike, it’s…

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell is preparing to lose both offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to head coaching gigs this offseason. “I would expect to lose both, but I haven’t been told anything,” Campbell said. “I just—I’ve got a feeling, but I’m prepared to lose both.”

Detroit Lions offensive line coach Hank Fraley is one of the most beloved position coaches on the team, and it’s no surprise he’s starting to gain interest from other teams. He already interviewed for the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive coordinator position. It’s also possible Fraley leaves with one of Detroit’s coordinators, should Ben Johnson or Aaron…

The Divisional round of the NFL Playoffs wraps up on Sunday, with two games that look like they will be highly competitive. Things start out with the NFC No. 4 Los Angeles Rams at No. 2 Philadelphia Eagles at 3 p.m. ET on NBC, followed by AFC No. 3 Baltimore Ravens at No. 2 Buffalo…

Now that the Detroit Lions’ season is over, focus quickly turns to the team’s coaching staff and who will remain for the 2025 season. Despite Saturday night’s meltdown, both offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn remain top-tier options, and some are predicting both to be hired away this offseason.

The Detroit Lions 2024 season has come to a close and the Lions now hold the pick No. 28 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Because there are still a variety of things that will take place over the offseason, the only picks we know for certain at this time are in the first round. As…
