Pride of Detroit

He’s done one or the other, but now Detroit Lions “linebacker” Malcolm Rodriguez is expected to play both sides of the ball in a single game against the New Orleans Saints this week. A few months back, many Lions fans were surprised to see the linebacker stepping in at fullback after Jason Cabinda was placed…

With a 2.5 game lead in the NFC North, the Detroit Lions enter this final six-game game stretch with four on the road. First up is a contest down in New Orleans against a Saints team that’s firmly entrenched in a divisional race of their own. Despite splitting the last two games, the Lions are…

It has been over a year since Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker has thrown a pass with shoulder pads on. Since suffering a torn ACL as a Tennessee Volunteer last November—in the midst of a potential Heisman run—he has been furiously rehabbing. But when the Lions placed him on the Non-Football Injury list, it…

It’s been over a full year since his ACL injury, but Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker practiced for the first time on Wednesday. This week, the Lions opted to start Hooker’s 21-day evaluation clock, meaning over the next three weeks, he’ll either be added to the 53-man roster or will stay on the Non-Football…

The Detroit Lions announced on Wednesday that veteran receiver Tom Kennedy has re-signed to the team’s practice squad. To make room on the squad, the Lions waived rookie receiver Dylan Drummond. Kennedy has been on and off the team’s 53-man roster and practice squad for the last four seasons. He was set to make another…

The Detroit Lions being 8-3 and well in control of the NFC North is a sight to see. The fact that they’re doing so while missing so many key players for long stretches at a time is even bigger. Names like Halapoulivaati Vaitai, Ceedy Deuce, Emmanuel Moseley, and more are likely out for the season.…

It’s no secret that the Detroit Lions defense has struggled in recent weeks. Look at just the yardage totals allowed in the past five weeks: When we look at advanced statistics, the problem is only magnified. Since that Week 7 game against the Ravens, the Lions defense ranks 32nd in defensive EPA and 30th in…

Coming off a long break after a disappointing 29-22 loss to the banged-up Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving, the Detroit Lions return and, this time, are on the road against the New Orleans Saints. Detroit wasn’t the only team to disappoint their fans last week as the Saints couldn’t hold onto their NFC South division…

It felt a little like the sky was falling on Thanksgiving after the Detroit Lions lost to the Green Bay Packers. It wasn’t just that Detroit lost to their biggest rival on national television, but that the team has now produced uninspiring performances in back-to-back weeks. This is the moment in previous years when the…

After getting beat up on Thanksgiving Day by the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions are taking another hit on Tuesday morning, this time from the national power rankers. There are portions of the Lions fan base that are understandably concerned after a few games that were tighter than they should have been, but coach…

The clock is ticking until the 2024 NFL Draft — quite literally at Campus Martius, where a giant clock displaying a countdown to the big event ticks away second by second. In about 150 days, Detroit will host one of the biggest sporting events from April 25-27. The key, said Mayor Mike Duggan at a…

With a tough loss on Thanksgiving, the Detroit Lions’ odds to win the division took a minor hit, and their odds to take away the No. 1 seed in the conference have all but disappeared. But much of that changed on Monday night. In an ugly NFC North bout, the Minnesota Vikings lost to the…

During his Monday press conference, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell named two starters who could miss this week’s game due to injury: left guard Jonah Jackson and linebacker Alex Anzalone. Jackson has missed five out of the last six games. During the first three, he was dealing with a knee injury. For the past two…

The Carolina Panthers started the week by announcing the firing of head coach Frank Reich. But as the day went on, it became apparent that this was not the only coaching change they were making. As first reported by ESPN, assistant head coach and running backs Duce Staley and quarterbacks coach Josh McCown were also…

If the past two weeks have taught us anything, it’s that the Detroit Lions have some obvious flaws. That doesn’t mean the team is doomed, just about every team in the NFL has flaws. However, it has been a bit of a rude awakening for some who believed this team would walk to a division…

After a 1-10 start to the season, the Carolina Panthers have fired head coach Frank Reich. He is the second head coach fired in the middle of the 2023 season, joining former Raiders coach Josh McDaniels. This was only Reich’s first season with the Panthers, so ownership is looking to move on quickly here.

With a tough loss on Thanksgiving, the Detroit Lions’ odds to win the division took a minor hit, and their odds to take away the No. 1 seed in the conference have all but disappeared. But the one thing that remains in perfectly good shape is their odds of making the playoffs overall. They still…

Are you ready for a second dose of “Sunday Night Football” in Week 12? After closing out Thanksgiving Day, “Sunday Night Football” returns to its regularly schedule day. Whereas the Thanksgiving nightcap was a rout by the San Francisco 49ers, hopefully tonight’s edition is more competitive. And with two top-offenses, we could certainly see it.

The Detroit Lions saw their NFC North divisional odds take a pretty significant dip this week after dropping their Thanksgiving Day game to the Green Bay Packers. However, they’re still 8-3 on the season and in a pretty darn good situation when it comes to the NFC Playoff picture. By the end of the week,…

For the second week in a row, the Detroit Lions didn’t play like a team battling for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. After escaping Ford Field with a victory against the Chicago Bears in Week 11, the Lions came out on the losing side of things in their Thanksgiving Day tilt with the…
