The Detroit Lions’ defense wasn’t good last year, but by the end of the season, it did provide one thing: hope. Down the stretch, the Lions’ defense wasn’t just better, it was good. Since Week 9, the Lions allowed just 20.2 points per game, which ranked 11th over that time period. Over the same span,…

The 2023 Pro Bowl introduced a new format that eliminated the traditional tackle football all-star game that we’ve seen in years past. With players putting forth only a marginal effort and so many players opting out in the name of health and safety, the Pro Bowl simply hasn’t meant what it did in years past.
If you haven’t been watching, the St. Brown brothers’ podcast for The 33rd Team has been excellent so far. Detroit Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has an obviously natural competitive chemistry with his brother Equanimeous, who plays for the Chicago Bears.

The Detroit Lions offense was electric in 2022. They scored 453 points, the second most in franchise history, and they finished the season ranked fifth in offensive DVOA. Of course, when an offense is firing on all cylinders like that, there are several reasons for it. The offensive coordinator deserves a share of the praise.…
Let’s face it: you are probably going to watch the Pro Bowl. Maybe not you, the personal you, but the rhetorical “you” will. In spite of all the bellyaching about the changes to the Pro Bowl, the cheapening of the title, and all those nasty things, the Pro Bowl still outperforms other sporting events in…
This week, news hit suddenly that Detroit Lions assistant head coach/running backs coach Duce Staley was leaving the team to join the Carolina Panthers. At first, it wasn’t clear why Staley would leave Detroit when he was not getting a head coach opportunity elsewhere. All that was clear was that Staley was joining a familiar…

For a 9-8 season, the Detroit Lions’ 2022 campaign will be one we don’t soon forget. After a miserable 1-6 start that had many questioning whether the right people were in place to lead this franchise, the Lions rattled off eight wins in the next 10. Even when the Lions were losing early in the…
As you can tell by the coaching carousel that is still ongoing across the NFL, the Detroit Lions’ coaching staff turned some heads in 2022. Assistant head coach/running backs coach Duce Staley has moved on to the Carolina Panthers. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was one of the hotter names for head coaching jobs before taking…
The Detroit Lions’ development of a coaching staff full of former players continues, and this time, they dug back into the old Lions rosters. According to Justin Rogers of the Detroit News, the Lions have hired Dre Bly as their new cornerbacks coach. UPDATE: The Lions have now made the hire official.
Earlier this week, news broke that the Detroit Lions are expected to hire Steve Heiden as their next tight ends coach. The news came as a bit of a surprise, given the Lions already had a tight ends coach in Tanner Engstrand. While the Lions haven’t made the hire official yet, reports suggest that Engstrand…
The 2023 Pro Bowl is going to be a little different than normal years. Not only has the actual game been eliminated, but in its place, the NFL has put a series of skills events in the hope to revitalize a game most had stopped caring about. It is also now a two-day event. The…
