The NFC Championship Game drew 56.6 million viewers — the most-watched telecast since last year’s Super Bowl, per The Athletic. The good? A lot of people seemingly cared about the Lions. The bad? A lot of people…

The Detroit Lions are sending All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs to the Pro Bowl, the team announced on Tuesday morning.

I went into this game knowing it wasn’t going to be painful. I was certain. The Detroit Lions had made an improbable turnaround and I was excited to be watching them just minutes from the Super Bowl. I assumed it wasn’t going to be painful because the Lions team I know executes. They may have…

The 2023 Detroit Lions had been defined by their ability to overcome adversity. During any game—or even any individual series—it would seem they would never get derailed by a bump in the road. They’d make a mistake or be on the wrong side of a bad call, then just dust off their pants, and keep…

Losing was not an unexpected result for the Detroit Lions, but that does little to ease the pain.

The Detroit Lions had it. They were in absolute control of the game against the San Francisco 49ers up 24-7 at halftime.

This is it. A trip to the Super Bowl is just a game away for both the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been in this position before. In fact, this is their third consecutive NFC Championship Game. The previous two have ended in heartbreak, so they’re hoping the third time is…
