Pride of Detroit

Detroit Lions punter Jack Fox has been named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after his dominant performance against the Arizona Cardinals. On Sunday, Fox pinned three of his five punts inside the 10-yard line, one additional punt inside the 20-yard line, and that last punt? Oh, just a 68-yard blast that went…

The Detroit Lions got back in the winner’s circle in Week 3, cooling off a red-hot Arizona Cardinals’ offense in the desert, 20-13. As we’ll do every week throughout the season for this Lions team, we have some data we can comb through courtesy of Pro Football Focus that better helps us understand the football…

For a second, I thought we had seen the end of the “Calls of the Game” feature the Detroit Lions would drop after every victory. However, the series made its triumphant return this week after Detroit’s big 20-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals, and it’s a great one.

The Detroit Lions are a very different team than they were last year. The offense is built different, the defense is suddenly their anchor, and a lot of guys are filling roles differently than how we could have imagined to start the season. It’s certainly still early, but a lot of players who we expected…

The Detroit Lions return home to another primetime game after getting another tick in the win column last week against the Arizona Cardinals. This time, it will be on “Monday Night Football” and against a team that Detroit hasn’t beaten since 2012, the Seattle Seahawks. To make things even more of a challenge, Seattle is…

On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions made a handful of roster moves, mostly transactions that were expected. First, the Lions placed both linebacker Derrick Barnes and defensive end Marcus Davenport on injured reserve. Davenport’s season is expected to be done, after suffering a reported tricep tear. It is unclear how much time Barnes, who suffered a…

In this week’s power rankings roundup, the Detroit Lions got back to their winning ways and moved up in the majority of analysts’ minds. But early season NFL can be challenging to predict. Good teams can struggle, while bad teams can thrive, and water has yet to find its level.

The Detroit Lions pulled off the most exciting play of Week 3 with this hook-and-ladder from Amon-Ra St. Brown to Jahmyr Gibbs. Because of the inherent danger of a trick play like this, they are carefully crafted and repeatedly practiced to make sure every little detail is executed to perfection. The Lions pulled it off…

On Monday afternoon, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell addressed the media and provided updates on a laundry list of players, including Marcus Davenport, Derrick Barnes, Sam LaPorta, and Brian Branch, among others. What we didn’t know at the time was that Lions All-Pro center Frank Ragnow was also reportedly dealing with a partially-torn pectoral, so…

Coach Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions don’t lose back-to-back games. The team learned from some of their mistakes in the Buccaneers game in Week 2 and were an improved team, beating the Arizona Cardinals 20-13. This game epitomized how gritty this team is. After winning, despite not scoring in the second half, there were…

The Detroit Lions secured a massive victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, but it came with a heavy price. The team suffered several injuries throughout the game, but one name that wasn’t on that list at the time was defensive end Marcus Davenport, who suffered an elbow injury during the game on Sunday and…

The bad news keeps coming for the Detroit Lions when it comes to injuries. After coach Dan Campbell revealed that defensive end Marcus Davenport is likely out for the year, and linebacker Derrick Barnes is expected to miss significant time, a new report from NFL Network suggests All-Pro center Frank Ragnow is considered week-to-week with…

Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season comes to a close with a “Monday Night Football” doubleheader, featuring the Jacksonville Jaguars at Buffalo Bills, and the Washington Commanders at Cincinnati Bengals. Both games will be shown on an ABC/ESPN affiliate, with the first game starting 45 minutes ahead of the second, in an effort for…

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell addressed the media on Monday afternoon and provided updates on several of the team’s injured players. Injured during the Lions win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3, Barnes exited the game in the first half and was ruled out shortly after halftime. He required a cart to exit the…

Unfortunately, the Detroit Lions’ lengthy injury list from Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals was not exhaustive. There was one more injury that happened, and it could be the worst of them all. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, defensive end Marcus Davenport suffered an elbow injury that could cause him to miss the rest…

Any objective observer could see that the Detroit Lions weren’t themselves for the first two weeks of the season. But Sunday’s 20-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals was a huge step in the right direction for the team. It may not have been a dominant win, but a lot of their early rust appears to…

The Detroit Lions took a gut punch last week, but they dusted themselves off and returned to their winning ways. Coming off their first loss of the season, the Lions were faced with a red-hot Arizona Cardinals team that had just walloped the opposing Los Angeles Rams by a score of 41-10. If Detroit wanted…

Coming off a disappointing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, the Detroit Lions had to go on the road against an underrated Arizona Cardinals in Week 3. The Cardinals were coming off a big win over the Los Angeles Rams, a team Detroit beat in Week 1, and Arizona had an easier time…

The Detroit Lions have thrown a lot of different looks at the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3, including pulling off a beautiful hook-and-ladder trick play to score a touchdown. The Lions were up 13-7 with 36 seconds left in the half and were set up just outside the Cardinals’ red zone. The Lions spread out…

The morning games weren’t particularly kind to the Detroit Lions. The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings both decisively, moving the Packers to 2-1 and the Vikings to 3-0. With Detroit sitting at 1-1, they won’t be able to climb atop the NFC North by the end of Week 3, but they don’t want to…
