Even before the season began, Detroit Lions fans were fantasizing about a reunion with Ndamukong Suh, the team’s first-round pick in 2010. Suh has enjoyed an illustrious career since leaving Detroit in 2015, and because the Lions have been thin at defensive tackle, many believed it was time to bring Suh—who has been a free…

Buckle up, folks; this NFC North divisional title ride is about to get bumpy. Starting in Week 11, the Detroit Lions took on the Chicago Bears and came back down by 12 to defeat them 31-26. After the win, Detroit lost to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving before taking a break and defeating the…

For many years, people around the NFL have talked about how difficult the transition is for tight ends making the leap from the college ranks to the pros. It didn’t matter how polished or explosive the prospect was, expectations for rookies were always kept low while the player found their footing at the next level.

The Detroit Lions got back to their winning ways on Sunday when they caught the New Orleans Saints by surprise. Less than eight minutes into the game, the Lions had taken a 21-0 lead, and lucky enough for that early onslaught, Detroit was able to hold on for a 33-28 victory in Louisiana.

The Detroit Lions are going through a rough patch in efficiency right now, but they continue to find ways to win, largely behind an offense that can hang with anyone in the NFL. Let’s take a closer look at this week’s national power rankings to see why the Lions landed where they did on each…

The Detroit Lions made several roster moves on Tuesday afternoon, none bigger than placing defensive tackle Alim McNeill on injured reserve. With an open spot on the 53-man roster, the Lions signed corner Kindle Vildor off their practice squad. Additionally, the Lions released EDGE Raymond Johnson from the practice squad, opening two spots, which they…

Coming off of a couple of ugly performances, the Detroit Lions really needed to clean up their mistakes and have a bounce-back performance against the New Orleans on Sunday, and for the most part, they did. The first seven minutes of the game couldn’t have gone any better, but unfortunately some of those issues reared…

It’s no secret Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is fast, but seeing it in numbers really paints the picture. According to Next Gen Stats, the second-year receiver reached 20.7 mph Sunday when he took a reverse to the house against the New Orleans Saints. Let’s first watch the play:

The Big Easy was anything but for the Detroit Lions to keep their well-earned win. The early frenzy of debauchery and revelry quickly gave way to the corporeal reality of holding onto guts, riding nauseous bouts of vertigo, and still somehow standing tall at the very end. That’s admirable in its own right and you…

Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints felt eerily like the 2016 matchup between the two teams—high-scoring, sloppy football that hurt to watch but kept both teams in it late. The big difference? This time, the Detroit Lions came out on top. Sunday was another huge blow to the SOL crowd. A win is a…

By the end of the Detroit Lions vs. New Orleans Saints game, chances are you weren’t too happy with the defensive effort. After building a 21-point lead over the Saints, the Lions defense had trouble stopping the Saints in the second half, and the offense went into hibernation mode. The result was a nail-biter of…

The Detroit Lions are on the road again in Week 14, this time traveling to Illinois to take on division rival Chicago Bears. When the 2023 schedule was released, the Lions were initially just 1.5-point favorites, and since then, the overall performance from both teams through 12 games has resulted in that line increasing.

With a win over the New Orleans Saints, the Detroit Lions are 9-3 and that much closer to clinching a postseason berth and maybe—just maybe—their first division title in over 30 years. With only five weeks left in the regular season, there aren’t many teams in a better spot in both their division and the…

The Green Bay Packers capitalized on a Detroit Lions implosion on Thanksgiving to a win, but they will need another standout performance if they want to win this primetime tilt. The Packers play host to the Kansas City Chiefs, and if they want to prove themselves as playoff contenders in the NFC, beating the 8-3…

The Detroit Lions beat the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, and it’s safe to say that they would not have done that if not for rookie tight end Sam LaPorta. The tight end out of Iowa finished the game with nine catches on nine targets for 140 yards and a touchdown.

The Detroit Lions and New Orleans Saints face off in a big NFC showdown. Both teams are in the thick of the NFC Playoff picture, but both aren’t trending in great directions. The Saints ceded the NFC South lead to the Falcons after losing to Atlanta last week. And while the Lions are still comfortably…

The Detroit Lions enter Week 13 in a pretty darn favorable position. Not only do they hold a 2.5-game lead in the division with six games remaining, but their playoff odds are hovering around 99 percent. Yes, the team is struggling a little bit as of late, but the benefit of a phenomenal start to…

The NFL runs a regular community outreach campaign called My Cause My Cleats each season that allows players to wear non-regulation shoes during games in the later part of the season which are then auctioned off to support charitable causes important to those players. This year, My Cause My Cleats runs during Weeks 13 and…

Despite a couple of recent suspect performances against the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions still hold the No. 3 seed in the NFC, and are tied for the fourth-best record in the NFL. When it comes to the national media and their perception of the Lions, they are still considered to…

On Friday night, Detroit Lions linebacker and captain Alex Anzalone took to social media to announce that he and his wife Lindsey had welcomed their second child: Carter Nicole Anzalone.
