When the Detroit Lions signed David Montgomery in free agency, our fearless leader Jeremy Reisman declared the 2019 third-round pick to be “an upgrade.

Coming off a big win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, the Detroit Lions now focus on an NFC opponent in the Seattle Seahawks. Last season they met at Ford Field in a shootout, with the Seahawks winning 48-45. This year the Lions would be looking for revenge against the Seahawks for the…

Detroit Lions rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs carried the ball just seven times in his NFL debut against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, he made quite an impact in those seven rushes. According to PFF, Gibbs forced six missed tackles on those seven plays. If that ratio didn’t already seem impressive enough, those six missed…

Detroit Lions nickel cornerback Brian Branch has been nominated for the Week 1 Pepsi Rookie of the Week. Branch was responsible for completely shifting Thursday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

With the Chiefs in the rearview, the Detroit Lions may have gotten the toughest opponent on their schedule out of the way in Week 1, escaping with a road win. We saw a lot of upsets in the first week, which can be normal because Week 1 is always unpredictable. It’s tough to know how…

For Detroit Lions rookie defensive back Brain Branch, it’s hard to imagine a better start to his NFL career.

It’s easy to forget just how many players the Detroit Lions parted ways with this offseason.

No, he attempted…
