In the NFL’s continued commitment to doing anything it can to remain in the conversation—despite its season ending three months ago—the schedule release for the upcoming season has morphed into a social media phenomenon. Twitter leaks, social media teams orchestrating elaborate announcements, and way-too-premature predictions provide for a reminder that the NFL season is just……
In addition to their entire 2023 regular season schedule, the Detroit Lions also revealed their 2023 preseason opponents and the order in which they will play them. For the first two games—home tilts against the New York Giants and the Jacksonville Jaguars—the specific dates have not yet been decided. For the preseason finale, a road…
As soon as I realized the Detroit Lions were facing the Los Angeles Chargers this year, I knew the team was in for some top-tier roasting. If you’re unaware, the Chargers have become legendary when it comes to their schedule release videos. They have a no-holds-barred attitude, and even recently admitted to ESPN that they…
The Detroit Lions 2023 schedule will be released by 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, but throughout the day, there are expected to be several leaks. The NFL has already been revealing some of the 2023 games, and more are expected throughout the day prior to the official announcement at the end of the night.
On Thursday, the NFL will release its entire 2023 football schedule, and in a lead-up to the main event, the league has been slowly announcing some of its biggest games of the season. After a 2022 season that saw the Detroit Lions have zero primetime games — until they were flexed to “Sunday Night Football”…
For all that has been said about positional value, perhaps there’s another way to look at the value the Detroit Lions are getting out of first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs. All we have to do is look back at a February teleconference with draft expert Daniel Jeremiah, as we outlined in our Mock Draft Roundup 12.0.…
Perhaps best known for his time with the St. Louis Rams and the “greatest show on turf” offense of the late 90’s and early 2000s—former NFL coach Mike Martz has been around some of the game’s best. Martz coached multiple Hall of Famers during that era, including running back Marshall Faulk and wide receiver Isaac…
The Detroit Lions announced on Wednesday that they have signed defensive lineman Christian Covington. Covington is an eight-year veteran, and the Lions will be the sixth team in his career. At 6-foot-2, 300 pounds, Covington is capable of playing anywhere along the defensive line, though he does the majority of his work in the interior.…
The Detroit Lions have not been a team featured in primetime television very often as of late. It’s hard to blame the NFL schedule makers, as the Lions have been one of the worst teams in the league since 2018. In fact, since 2019, the Lions have only played in primetime three times.
One of the reasons so many people are high on the future of the Detroit Lions is their young core of young talent. Thanks to a lot of draft capital and a focused strategy by general manager Brad Holmes, the Lions have moved on from a ton of veteran players, continued to acquire young talent,…
Earlier this offseason, it was revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs would be hosting an international game in Germany for the 2023 season. That led many to speculate that the Detroit Lions could be their overseas opponent. The Lions are one of eight opponents who will play a road game against the Chiefs in 2023,…
The Detroit Lions spent much of the offseason in contention to be the Kansas City Chiefs’ opponent for their Germany game in the 2023 NFL season. Eventually, a report or two came out that the Chicago Bears were going to be the Chiefs’ international opponent, and the Lions were locked into a domestic schedule for…
The mending of the fences between the Detroit Lions and Calvin Johnson continues to move in a positive direction. After Johnson personally helped welcome new Lions draft picks Jack Campbell and Jahmyr Gibbs last month, the Lions Hall of Fame receiver announced via his foundation that he will be hosting a football camp at the…
It’s been nine years since the Detroit Lions drafted Eric Ebron with the 10th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. For Lions fans, that selection will go down as one of the biggest missed opportunities in draft history, with seven consecutive Pro Bowlers going after the Ebron selection—most notably tackle Taylor Lewan (11), receiver…
On Tuesday afternoon, the Detroit Lions announced that they had released three players, including defensive lineman Demetrius Taylor, wide receiver Stanley Berryhill, and cornerback Mac McCain. With Lions rookie minicamp happening over the weekend, the Lions are currently in the process of attempting to sign their drafted and undrafted rookies. Based on what we know,…
The Detroit Lions have made most of the offseason moves they will make, and with the (still unofficial) additions of the undrafted free agents, the roster is right up against their 90-man roster. Erik Schlitt already provided a projected depth chart for the team, but let’s take it one step further. Let’s try to make…
One of the most head-turning picks the Detroit Lions made in the 2023 NFL Draft was when they used their first third-round selection on quarterback Hendon Hooker. Detroit has been mum about its long-term plans at quarterback with Jared Goff, but the addition of Hooker doesn’t really tip its hand one way or the other.…
As exciting as it is to see players added to the Detroit Lions roster, there is always a fallout when upgrading positions. On Monday, Jeremy Reisman identified five players who benefited from the results of the Lions 2023 draft, but there’s a flip side to that coin. In this companion article, we will take a…
Detroit Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker is exactly where he needs to be in order to succeed, according to one NFL.com analyst. That’s what you’d want for any rookie, but former NFL personnel executive Marc Ross thinks there’s no better spot for Hooker to get to where he wants to be. Ross listed the former Tennessee…
