One of many awesome things about the Detroit Lions’ 5-1 start to the season is that we get to see just how passionate and excited this hungry fanbase is right now. We’ve seen it for years and years at Ford Field, as the fans kept coming even through the lean years.

We’ve come to know Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes as a man who wears his emotions on his sleeve. Prior to this year, though, that has simply meant seeing him in the team’s draft war room aggressively clapping and slamming tables after making the pick he wanted.
The Detroit Lions are still on the road in Week 7 taking on the Baltimore Ravens, and for the second week in a row, they’ll be taking a team that is in first place in their division (AFC North). Despite winning their last four games by at least 14 points and possessing a 5-1 record…
Are we about to witness the Tyrod Taylor revenge game on “Sunday Night Football”? Due to an injury to starting quarterback Daniel Jones, the New York Giants will turn to veteran Tyrod Taylor. It’s one thing for a backup to be thrust into a spot start, but Taylor will have to face one of the…
It’s going to feel like a vintage NFC Central matchup on Sunday afternoon. Not only are the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers rekindling their rivalry as first place teams, but the Bucs will be wearing their classic “creamsicle” jerseys, harkening to days of the 1970s through 90s teams that often gave Detroit hell.
The Detroit Lions enter Week 6 with a trip to sunny Tampa Bay against a red-hot Bucs team taking the league by surprise. The Buccaneers were picked by many to be league bottom feeders this year as they tried to envision the start of a post-Tom Brady era. Even with Brady, they mustered a losing…
All eyes are on Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta entering Week 6. The rookie tight end is battling a calf injury that flared up on Wednesday, and he is officially listed as questionable for the team’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On Sunday, we got a positive update on his status from ESPN’s…
On Saturday, the Detroit Lions placed cornerback Emmanuel Moseley and running back Zonovan Knight on injured reserve, freeing up two spots on their 53-man roster. To fill these openings, the Lions activated cornerback/kick returner Khalil Dorsey from injured reserve, and signed veteran offensive lineman Dan Skipper off the practice squad.
The Athletic’s Nick Baumgardner writes some of the most impressive film articles on the Detroit Lions, so you’ll definitely want to check his newest one that went up early Saturday morning: “How Ben Johnson crafted a Lions run game that’s diverse, unique and a whole lot of fun.”
Now come the bloodbaths. Get into the meat of these things, chew on the sinew. Football is meant for big games and copious amounts of violence. Without it, it’s not the same. Early season college has been quaint, which is only acceptable to genteel southern types of a century past. No sir. We live for…
An NFC Central showdown of two teams in the lead of their respective divisions, the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers provides an interesting measuring stick of sorts for the Bucs. After getting handled decidedly against the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this season, is Tampa Bay a true player in the NFC picture at large, or…
The Detroit Lions start off their two-game road trip in Tampa Bay, where they will face the 3-1 Buccaneers. Like the Lions, the Bucs are leading their division with only one loss in hand. The Bucs got out to a hot start defeating the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears in the first two weeks of…
Earlier in the week, we noted that the Detroit Lions had two players eligible to return from injured reserve this week: defensive lineman Josh Paschal and cornerback Khalil Dorsey. Dorsey returned to practice on Wednesday and has been practicing in full all week. While he is still technically on injured reserve and in the evaluation…
Tight end Sam LaPorta is the latest Detroit Lions player who has suffered a midweek injury in the lead-up to game day. He suffered a calf strain, and despite going through walkthroughs on Friday, his status for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is very much in question.
“You’re a sicko, and I love it.” Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker said those words to offensive coordinator Ben Johnson after he called a trick play that resulted in tight end Sam LaPorta being wide-open for a score. It was executed to perfection, and since Decker was mic’d up during the Lions’ win over…
Week 6 opened with the Kansas City Chiefs beating their AFC West division rival Denver Broncos for the 16th straight game in a row. Once again it was the Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce show for the Chiefs, as the pair connected on nine passes for 124 yards. Meanwhile, Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson finished with…
The Detroit Lions are on a three-game winning streak and hoping to continue their dominance over just about everyone they’ve faced. However, the Lions did stumble against one NFC foe this year, and they’re hoping not to make it two. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one of the league’s early surprises with a 3-1 record.…
The NFL opens up Week 6 with a matchup between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs on “Thursday Night Football.” This AFC West Rivalry has been lopsided of late, and based on the direction in which these teams are currently headed, things don’t look like they’ll be changing anytime soon.
As the Detroit Lions get nearer to their big Sunday showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, their injury list appears to only get longer. During Thursday’s practice, rookie tight end Sam LaPorta was not present, dealing another blow to Detroit’s offense. At this point, we do not know the injury LaPorta is dealing with, as…
Putting an end to the discussion of whether curses are real, it’s been discovered the Detroit Lions are on an incredibly hot winning streak since the curse of Bobby Layne was lifted last fall. In an episode of the Omaha Production series “Peyton’s Places,” Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning enlisted the help of Hollywood…
