Pride of Detroit

Both Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn spoke to the media on Wednesday. While both were eager to talk about the upcoming Divisional Round game against the Washington Commanders, they knew they were going to face questions about the head coaching interviews both took last week during the team’s postseason…

The NFL changed its kickoff rules this year in an effort to increase the rate of returns. On a very basic level, it worked. Per ESPN, the percentage of touchbacks dropped from 73% in 2023 to 64.3% this season. However, that is still a higher touchback rate than any other season since at least 2000.…

It’s no secret that a big part of the Washington Commanders’ success this year is due to historic play from rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. The second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Daniels set the rookie quarterback record for rushing yards in a season (891), and he finished the season 11th among all NFL…

Over the weekend, a text exchange and video went viral, appearing to display a couple of kids tricking Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams into thinking they were Detroit Lions coordinator Ben Johnson and he was the Bears’ next coach. The video shows—from the kids’ point of view—Williams eventually hopping on a FaceTime to confirm their…

When David Montgomery and one of his trainers looked back at the video of his latest injury, they were in amazement that it wasn’t far worse. “We looked at when the hit happened and the way it happened, there’s no way—if you look at the hit the way it happened—I didn’t tear my ACL,” Montgomery…

The No. 1 seeded Detroit Lions will host the No. 6 seed Washington Commanders in the Divisional Round of the 2024-25 NFL playoffs, which will be played on Saturday night. While the Lions received a bye week during the Wild Card round of the playoffs, they did get in a few practices before allowing their…

For those hoping to get in on the Detroit Lions playoff action but are reeling at the price, a few Metro Detroit businesses are offering a fans a chance at playoff tickets. As Jeremy outlines here, Detroit Lions tickets are the hottest in the NFL, with the get-in price for the Lions-Commanders game Saturday higher…

The Detroit Lions watched from the sidelines on Wild Card weekend, and some of those sights were better than others. We’ll leave the AFC to their meandering, listless and tepid. The NFC’s got the juice, and the Commanders didn’t disappoint in their quest to surge into the pirate ship of Tampa Bay and escape with…

They say it’s hard to beat a team three times in a season in the NFL. That trope, while logical considering the familiarity divisional teams have with each other, doesn’t really hold up to statistical evidence. For the Detroit Lions, it won’t matter this year. Detroit swept the difficult NFC North in 2024, but both…

Welcome to the beginning of the end of the 2024 season. The 2024 NFL postseason began last week and the Detroit Lions were at home, kicking back and watching the games like you and I. They earned the top seed after going 15-2 and winning the NFC North, giving them the bye week to rest…

The Wild Card round of the 2024-25 NFL Playoffs will come to a close on Monday night as the NFC No. 5 Minnesota Vikings (14-3) and No. 4 Los Angeles Rams (10-7) square off in Glendale, Arizona. Originally scheduled to be played in LA, the ongoing wildfires in Southern California moved this game to Arizona…

Detroit Lions tickets remain the hottest in the NFL. Now that the Lions’ Divisional Round matchup with the Washington Commanders is set for Saturday, January 20 at 8 p.m. ET at Ford Field, secondary ticket markets are starting to settle. And if they stick to what prices are looking like on Monday morning, Lions tickets…

You have to read a lot before you can see a recipe. That is a tradition on the internet and I will hold you to it. Since arriving in Michigan and taking upon the mantle of the 29th head coach of the Detroit Lions, Dan Campbell has been worn by labels placed upon him.

So far, five Detroit Lions coaches or front office staffers have opportunities for promotions with another organization. Coordinators Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson just completed a round of interviews, OL coach Hank Fraley is reportedly a candidate for the Seahawks offensive coordinator position, DB coach Deshea Townsend interviewed for the 49ers defensive coordinator opening, and…

After earning the No. 1 seed in the NFC and securing a bye week during the Wild Card round of the 2024-25 NFL playoffs, the Detroit Lions were able to get some much-needed rest as they awaited their opponent in the Divisional Round. As the lowest seed in the NFC advancing out of the Wild…

I never thought I would say this, but the Detroit Lions are Super Bowl contenders. This franchise has seen Hall of Fame players never receive a Super Bowl ring, and it’s time for that to change. The Lions had a franchise-best season, going 15-2 and clinching the top seed in the NFC for the first…

The Detroit Lions will kick off their 2024-25 postseason on Saturday night at 8 p.m. ET on FOX and will face the Washington Commanders. Though the NFC Wild Card round is not done yet, the Lions are guaranteed to face off against the Commanders, because they are the lowest seed to make the second round…

I want to get this out of the way from the jump—Detroit Lions right tackle Penei Sewell is the best offensive lineman in the NFL. Am I a bit biased? No doubt. Are there people that disagree with that assessment? Of course, but there are also plenty that would agree.

The Wild Card round of the 2024-25 NFL playoffs continues on Sunday with a tripleheader of AFC and NFC games. Things start out with the AFC No. 7 Denver Broncos (10-7) at No. 2 Buffalo Bills (13-4) squaring off at 1 p.m. ET on CBS/Paramount+, followed by the NFC No. 7 Green Bay Packers (11-6)…

This year, the Minnesota Vikings made history in the wrong way, becoming the first ever 14-win team to lose their division and have to go on the road in the first round of the playoffs. While they have no one to blame but themselves—they lost to the division-winning Detroit Lions twice—the NFL is reportedly considering…
