Pride of Detroit

We may have finally cracked the Madden code. For the past three weeks, we have been installed a user-made modification to the game that is supposed to produce more realistic gameplay. Lo and behold, our weekly Madden 24 simulations have now correctly predicted the outcome of the Detroit Lions game in three consecutive weeks after…

Earlier in the week, the Detroit Lions quietly signed cornerback Kindle Vildor from the practice squad to their 53-man roster in a move that was overshadowed by placing defensive tackle Alim McNeill on injured reserve. It’s an eyebrow-raising move, considering many expected defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna to receive the promotion given the positional need and…

Whenever it’s Chicago Bears on the road, weather becomes a big storyline for the Detroit Lions game. This week, the forecast looks relatively mild—only a seven percent chance of precipitation and 10-15 MPH winds—but with temperatures expected to be in the 30s, it will be Detroit’s only cold-weather game on the schedule this year.

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell confirmed on Friday morning what fans were fearing: center Frank Ragnow is expected to miss Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. “Yeah, I don’t see him going,” Campbell said. “I don’t see him going, but he is improving. He’s getting better, he’s getting better. So, yeah, I don’t see him…

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I love an away game. Don’t get me wrong, I love home games at Ford Field, too. Waking up, getting everything situated, and heading to Eastern Market or Midtown before Detroit Lions’ home games is one of my favorite feelings in the world.

The Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears face off this Sunday in Detroit’s fourth NFC North matchup. Detroit is currently 2-1 in divisional games, but each contest has been close in the fourth quarter. The last time these two teams met—a mere three weeks ago—I warned in this very preview that this Bears team was going…

The Detroit Lions are back on the road in Week 14, this time traveling to Illinois to take on the Chicago Bears in the second of two matchups between the teams in the last four weeks. Because the Lions (9-3) and Bears (4-8) have already played this season, this week’s Honolulu Blueprint will look a…

The NFL opens Week 14 with a “Thursday Night Football” matchup between the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Patriots (2-10) and Steelers (7-5) have faced off 34 times in their teams’ histories, with New England holding a 15-14 regular season advantage and a 4-1 post-season advantage. The Patriots have also won six of…

The Detroit Lions (9-3) are on the road once again this week, traveling to Illinois to take on division rival Chicago Bears (4-8). There weren’t many changes from Wednesday’s injury report, with the one big exception being that EDGE Bruce Irvin (ankle) returned to practice. Irvin won’t show up on today’s injury report because he…

Following a dominating game in Week 13, Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has won Pepsi’s NFL Rookie of the Week. The fan-voted honors were given to LaPorta after his record-breaking performance against the New Orleans Saints. The rookie tight end caught all nine passes thrown his way for a franchise record (for rookie TEs)…

On Wednesday, the NFL released the results from the first week of 2024 Pro Bowl voting, and several Detroit Lions are in the mix at their respective positions. While no Lions are in the top-10 in overall voting, and no one is at No. 1 at their position, a total of seven Lions players are…

Just five games remain in the Detroit Lions schedule and three of them are against NFC North opponents, including this week’s upcoming contest against the Chicago Bears. Fresh off of a bye week, this Bears team has five more weeks to gather evidence and make a more informed decision about some really important questions coming…

Even before the season began, Detroit Lions fans were fantasizing about a reunion with Ndamukong Suh, the team’s first-round pick in 2010. Suh has enjoyed an illustrious career since leaving Detroit in 2015, and because the Lions have been thin at defensive tackle, many believed it was time to bring Suh—who has been a free…

Buckle up, folks; this NFC North divisional title ride is about to get bumpy. Starting in Week 11, the Detroit Lions took on the Chicago Bears and came back down by 12 to defeat them 31-26. After the win, Detroit lost to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving before taking a break and defeating the…

For many years, people around the NFL have talked about how difficult the transition is for tight ends making the leap from the college ranks to the pros. It didn’t matter how polished or explosive the prospect was, expectations for rookies were always kept low while the player found their footing at the next level.

The Detroit Lions got back to their winning ways on Sunday when they caught the New Orleans Saints by surprise. Less than eight minutes into the game, the Lions had taken a 21-0 lead, and lucky enough for that early onslaught, Detroit was able to hold on for a 33-28 victory in Louisiana.

The Detroit Lions are going through a rough patch in efficiency right now, but they continue to find ways to win, largely behind an offense that can hang with anyone in the NFL. Let’s take a closer look at this week’s national power rankings to see why the Lions landed where they did on each…

The Detroit Lions made several roster moves on Tuesday afternoon, none bigger than placing defensive tackle Alim McNeill on injured reserve. With an open spot on the 53-man roster, the Lions signed corner Kindle Vildor off their practice squad. Additionally, the Lions released EDGE Raymond Johnson from the practice squad, opening two spots, which they…

Coming off of a couple of ugly performances, the Detroit Lions really needed to clean up their mistakes and have a bounce-back performance against the New Orleans on Sunday, and for the most part, they did. The first seven minutes of the game couldn’t have gone any better, but unfortunately some of those issues reared…

It’s no secret Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is fast, but seeing it in numbers really paints the picture. According to Next Gen Stats, the second-year receiver reached 20.7 mph Sunday when he took a reverse to the house against the New Orleans Saints. Let’s first watch the play:
