Pride of Detroit

Detroit Lions Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow has been a regular in the team’s weekly injury report, yet he has regularly been able to play on game days. Despite dealing with four separate injuries throughout the year, he has only missed two games, and his ability to recover has been astonishing.

Last night’s beatdown of the Denver Broncos, 42-17, might not have been the most savage thing the Detroit Lions did last night. That honor belongs to the Lions official DJ, DJRAYYADIG, who played records from Future—the Grammy-award winning rapper and father of Future Zahir Wilburn, the stepson of Russell Wilson—during pre-game warm-ups.

A dominant win like that is exactly what Detroit Lions fans—whose confidence had been shaken by a month of mediocre football—needed. Not only did the Lions absolutely crush a surging Denver Broncos team, but it was a full-team effort, with both the offense and defense showing incredible signs of growth.

Was I the only one who heard people saying this felt too much like the New Orleans Saints game when the Lions went up 21-0? I won’t complain, though. It was nice to have a stress-free win from start to finish, and see lots of guys get back on track.

Ford Field was rocking on Saturday night, and so were the Detroit Lions. The Lions secured themselves a much-needed victory against the Denver Broncos. Shaking off the demons of a disappointing loss to the Chicago Bears, the Lions thrashed the Broncos in a 42-17 affair. Now sitting at 10-4, they are in prime position to…

Back in primetime, the Detroit Lions hosted the Denver Broncos on Saturday night to try and get one step closer to not just clinching a playoff spot, but the NFC North as well. The Minnesota Vikings are now three games back in the division after losing to the Cincinnati Bengals earlier on Saturday. The two…

First off, thank you Cincinnati Bengals. With their win over the Minnesota Vikings, the Detroit Lions’ lead in the division is back up to 2.5 games. All the Lions need to do now to clinch the division is find two more wins on the schedule. Doesn’t even matter which ones.

On Friday, the team’s official Twitter account posted a short video recap of two community events the team participated in earlier in December. Just like last year, the Lions partnered with Meijer for the “Presents from the Pride” and “Shop with a Lion” Season of Sharing events. Featured in the video were Melissa Conway (Meijer’s…

In Week 15, the Detroit Lions (9-4) are taking on the Denver Broncos (7-6) in a Saturday night showdown at Ford Field. The Lions are getting healthier at a few key spots and have a few players on injured reserve that could be returning to the roster for the playoff push, which could really benefit…

The Detroit Lions are hoping that their Saturday night bout against the Denver Broncos will be their “get right” game, as they look to bounce back from a rough loss against the Chicago Bears. It’s been a sloppy stretch of games dating back to their first game against the Bears in Week 11. The offense…

The Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos face off on Saturday night with fanbases in two completely different headspaces. According to the latest SB Nation reacts surveys, 86 percent of Broncos fans believe the team is headed in the right direction. Only 58 percent of Lions fans feel the same way about their team. You’d think…

The Detroit Lions will attempt to get back on track against the Denver Broncos in a Saturday night showdown at Ford Field. On the surface, it appears both teams are headed in opposite directions. The Broncos have won six of their last seven, while the Lions are “just” 4-3 over that same stretch.

If you had to do an impression of yourself reacting to the Detroit Lions finally winning the Super Bowl, what would it look like? Detroit’s own Keegan-Michael Key, known for doing impressions of all types, was asked on Jimmy Kimmel Live to do one of himself if he had just watched his beloved team hoist…

It felt like for so long, the thought of the Detroit Lions playing in primetime was just something for fans in the Motor City to dream about. Other teams would see three, four, even five primetime games on their schedule at the turn of a new season, but for a while, we just had the…

The NFL opens Week 15 with a “Thursday Night Football” matchup between AFC West rivals Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders, who both hold a 5-8 record entering this game. The Chargers and Raiders have faced off 128 times in their teams’ histories, with Los Angeles holding a 67-58-2 regular season advantage, while Las…

On Thursday, Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker wrapped up his third straight week of practice. It’s unclear right now, but there’s a possibility it will be his last of the season. After rehabbing from a torn ACL last year, the Lions finally returned him to practice on November 29—starting his 21-day evaluation period. That…

The Detroit Lions defense could be getting a boost in talent over the final few weeks of the regular season, as coach Dan Campbell confirmed that C.J. Gardner-Johnson has been medically cleared and they could start his evaluation clock to return from injured reserve as soon as next week.

Lost in the Detroit Lions’ 9-4 start to the 2023 season is the fact that this success isn’t meant to be the flash in the pan kind. Since the beginning of their tenure in 2021, Lions general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell have spoken over and over about their desire to build this…

Well. The pain rolls on for the Detroit Lions, which is less than ideal for fantasy managers heading into the playoffs. The Lions offense was looking to be a fantasy goldmine earlier this season, but suddenly the key pieces are not so reliable. This is not the time of year that anyone wants to get…

At 9-4, the Detroit Lions are on the precipice of their first postseason appearance since 2016. As of right now, only one team in the NFL—the San Francisco 49ers—has clinched their playoff ticket. But the Lions are one of four teams (Ravens, Cowboys, Eagles) who can join them this week.
