Pride of Detroit

The Detroit Lions find themselves heading into Week 10’s slate of Sunday’s game as the No. 2 seed in the NFC, a comfortable and well-earned position after their 6-2 start. But there is still a half-season to be played, and if there’s anything the Lions have taught us under Dan Campbell, it’s that things can…

One of the reasons the Detroit Lions have been so successful this season is the amount of different players who have stepped up and helped the team score a W on gameday. In Week 1, it was rookie Brian Branch’s pick-six that changed Detroit’s fortunes. Aidan Hutchinson’s two sacks against the Atlanta Falcons helped keep…

The Detroit Lions are the healthiest they’ve been in quite some time as they exit the bye week and prepare for Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Running back David Montgomery returns to the Lions’ backfield that could use some fresh legs, as well as a couple key starters on the offensive line. Hopefully,…

According to data posted by the NFL’s Next Gen Stats group and Tej Seth at Sumer Sports, the Detroit Lions have a pair of excellent running backs with different statistical profiles. The Next Gen Stats folks describe them as being “complementary backs,” with Jahmyr Gibbs being the more explosive runner and David Montgomery churning out…

The Detroit Lions have declared their injury designations ahead of their Week 10 game with the Los Angeles Chargers and they will have every starter available this weekend. A few of the Lions reserves seem unlikely to play, while another may not play this weekend, even if he gets healthy in time.

Last week, we desperately tried to fix the Madden Detroit Lions. With the real Lions on the bye week, we decided to go crazy at the trade deadline. We acquired Maxx Crosby, Patrick Surtain, Aaron Donald, Mike Evans—and even Justin Tucker. We figured that was enough talent to get the Lions over the edge and…

The Los Angeles Chargers have been one of the most confounding teams in football for decades, and 2023 seems like yet another season of mystery. They’ve beaten up the Vikings, Raiders, Jets, and Bears, but they haven’t been able to hang with the Dolphins, Titans, Cowboys, and Chiefs. They’re clearly somewhere in the middle between…

The Detroit Lions are on the road in Week 10, traveling to SoFi Stadium to take on the Los Angeles Chargers. The Lions opened the week as road favorites and you can check out the updated odds, as well as player prop odds for this game courtesy of the folks over at DraftKings Sportsbook.

The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers face off in Week 10 in what should be an excellent test for both teams. LA has revived their season after a 2-4 start, but many Chargers fans are still wondering what to think of the team, considering their two-game winning streak consisted of convincing wins over the…

While some rookies may have more time to acclimate to the NFL, it was go-time for Detroit Lions’ Sam LaPorta. “They didn’t really allow me to be a rookie. Right away, they kinda just threw me into the fire, which is a good thing for the team and for my own individual performance,” the first-year…

The NFL opens up Week 10 with a win-win scenario for the Chicago Bears as they host the Carolina Panthers on “Thursday Night Football.” The Bears and Panthers have faced off just 11 times in their teams’ histories, with Chicago holding a 7-3 regular season advantage, while Carolina came away with the win the only…

When Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown popped up late on the injury report with an illness, safe money was on some sort of flu, and that he’d likely play through it. While St. Brown did, indeed, play through the illness, it turns out it was a much more unique, painful illness.

After giving players a day off on Wednesday, the Detroit Lions (6-2) were back on the practice field on Thursday as they prepare to take on the Los Angeles Chargers (4-4) in Week 10. After having everyone listed as, at least, a limited participant on Wednesday’s injury report, the Lions had a couple of players…

The Detroit Lions are running into a good problem this week: for the first time since Week 2 both of their top two running backs—David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs—are essentially off the injury report. Montgomery was back to a full practice this week after missing the last 2.5 games with a rib injury, while Gibbs’…

Back and refreshed from the bye week, the Detroit Lions are on track to be back at full strength along the offensive line, as well as at running back with the much anticipated return of David Montgomery to the lineup. The Lions will need all that firepower at their disposal on offense to match wits…

The Detroit Lions pass rush has been very streaky all season. In games against the Falcons, Packers, and Raiders, they have 18 total sacks. In the remaining other five games, they have a total of just three. And while their pressure numbers are high, the time it’s taking to get those pressures is one of…

In this week’s episode of the “St. Brown Brothers” podcast, the two brothers had former All-Pro running back Chris Johnson on the show, and he did not disappoint. Johnson talked for over an hour with the duo—touching on everything from his hardest hit taken as a pro, to how he thinks John Ross’ 40-yard dash…

The Detroit Lions (6-2) and Los Angeles Chargers (4-4) will face off on Sunday afternoon in Week 10, but because the Lions are coming off a bye, their schedule has been shaken up a bit. Traditionally, players have a day off on Tuesday, but this week, the Lions opted to practice on Tuesday and give…

Detroit Lions offensive lineman Graham Glasgow appears to have won the team’s starting right guard job moving forward. On Wednesday, coach Dan Campbell was asked if Glasgow has earned the right to the starting right guard job over Halapoulivaati Vaitai, who held the job at the start of the season.

It’s no secret that Jameson Williams, the Detroit Lions’ first-round pick in 2022, hasn’t lived up to expectations yet. Though his ACL recovery and a four-game gambling suspension has kept him off the field for both game days and practices for the majority of his young career, the fact remains that in 10 games played,…
