Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta just keeps racking up the accolades. On Thursday, he was named NFL Rookie of the Week, the second time he’s won the award in the past three weeks. Against the Denver Broncos, LaPorta tallied five catches for 56 yards and three touchdowns. This week, he bested teammate Jahmyr Gibbs…

For the first time ever, the Detroit Lions can clinch the NFC North—their first divisional title in 30 years—with a win over the Minnesota Vikings. The sole team that poses a threat to the Lions in the division, the Vikings, have battled through plenty of adversity this year, losing key players and not getting insanely…

According to a report from NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Detroit Lions are signing cornerback Craig James to their practice squad. The Lions have not confirmed this move, and at the time of this publishing, there is no reported corresponding move. That will be required, as the Lions are currently at their maximum of 16…

Earlier in the season, we were doing weekly check-ins with some of the players the Detroit Lions lost this offseason—whether it be via free agency or roster cuts. It was a neat way to keep track of some of the players we had grown to love and analyze whether the Lions made the right decision…

Since their tenure began in 2021, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell have done an excellent job at identifying talent, and then developing that talent into legitimate NFL players. Some may take longer than others, but more often than not, this coaching staff assembled by Campbell finds a way.

I don’t think there’s been a more one-sided Detroit Lions stock report this season than the one I wrote after Saturday night’s win over the Denver Broncos. The Lions simply didn’t have a weak spot on offense or defense from start to finish and played arguably their most complete game of the season. Lions players…

On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions announced they are activating third-round rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker from the non-football injury list and waiving kicker Riley Patterson in a corresponding move. Hooker tore his ACL in November of 2022 while at the University of Tennessee and the Lions have slowly been working with him to return from injury.…

This week, the Detroit Lions sent season ticket renewal notices to “Lions Loyal” members for the 2024 season, and it’s causing a pretty big stir among fans. Fans went to Twitter on Monday to complain about huge price spikes for next year, many claiming their ticket prices are doubling for 2024.

As the Detroit Lions enter Week 16, the postseason is on the horizon and there are three different scenarios in which they could clinch a playoff berth for the first time since 2014: If the Lions simply handle their business and beat the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, they will not only secure a spot in…

What a Sunday this could be for the Detroit Lions. The NFC North is up for grabs and could be claimed this week as the Lions take on the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are three games back on the Lions, and with three games left in the season, two of the three being against Detroit,…

The NFL season is a grind. A constant battle between competitors to see who has the endurance to outlast their opponents, while still producing at a high level. The teams that have the talent and drive to be the best will eventually outlast the competition and can enjoy the spoils of a job well done.

This week, the Philadelphia Eagles made somewhat of a desperate coaching move. After giving up over 30 points in three consecutive games, Philly opted to move defensive coordinator Sean Desai to the booth and essentially promote defensive assistant—and former Detroit Lions coach—Matt Patricia to the de facto defensive coordinator position. For Monday night’s critical game…

The Detroit Lions aren’t going to the playoffs… yet After the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Seattle Seahawks, the Lions’ clinching of a playoff spot got delayed one more week. Detroit’s playoff odds remain around 99 percent, but they’ll have to wait at least a few more days to make it official.

The NFL closes out Week 15 with a “Monday Night Football” matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks. This game was originally set to feature the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots, but the NFL flexed to this matchup because it will have direct ramifications on the NFC playoffs.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff’s commanding performance against the Denver Broncos on Saturday has once again earned him a nomination for FedEx Air Player of the Week.

Week 15 could not have been much kinder to the Detroit Lions. Not only did they take care of business with a dominant win over the Denver Broncos, but they got plenty of help across the NFC to improve their playoff and divisional odds. Their chances to win the NFC’s top seed remain a long…

The Detroit Lions are on the road in Week 16, taking on division rival Minnesota Vikings, with a chance to leave the Twin Cities as the NFC North Champions.

The Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars face off in a “Sunday Night Football” game with serious playoff implications. The Ravens hold the crown atop the AFC at 10-3, but just barely. With the Miami Dolphins winning on Sunday, the Ravens will need a win to maintain their lead. A loss could throw a wrench in…

The Detroit Lions got themselves a ton of help on Saturday in their quest for a playoff and divisional berth. First, the Minnesota Vikings dropped a ridiculous game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Then, the Lions took care of their own business with a statement win over the Denver Broncos. After those two outcomes, here’s a…
