Pride of Detroit

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was fined $43,709 for a block he threw during the team’s Week 11 game against the Chicago Bears. That is an absolutely massive fine by NFL standards—particularly for a player who doesn’t exactly have a rep of bad behavior or poor conduct. In fact, it was the largest…

This week’s Detroit Lions draft watch focuses on just one game. Actually, not just one game, it’s THE GAME: Ohio State (2) at Michigan (3) at 12:00 p.m. ET on FOX. This game is loaded with NFL prospects, some of which have already been featured in our weekly draft watchlist this season. Because of this,…

Of course I spend the last ten weeks shouting “brand new Lions” from the rooftops, only for the Detroit Lions to be humiliated in front of their largest audience of the year. We’ve got lots of movers this week, and it’s safe to say it’s a bear market.

Well, that was a wild week of football for the Detroit Lions. Two really sloppy games in a span of five days. One miraculous comeback victory against the Chicago Bears in the final minutes of the game, and one pretty ugly loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving day leaves the Lions at 8-3…

The Detroit Lions fell to the Green Bay Packers in a sloppy game on both sides of the ball. The offense had too many turnovers, while the defense didn’t seem to have an answer for Jordan Love. Let’s hand out some grades for the Lions’ 29-22 loss on Thanksgiving.

Have you had your fill of turkey yet? I hope you have not had your fill of NFL football, since we have one more game to cap off the night. The San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks face off in an NFC West showdown, two teams looking primed for a playoff push. The question is…

In the third quarter of the Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game against the Green Bay Packers, Lions coach Dan Campbell turned up his aggression to 11 by calling a fake punt. With the team trailing by two scores early in the third quarter, fourth-and-4 from their own 23-yard line, the Lions dialed up a direct…

Thanksgiving was not a holiday for the Detroit Lions. The Lions’ loss to the Green Bay Packers marks back-to-back poor outings from the team. They were lucky enough to rally for a victory last week against the Chicago Bears, but an early deficit was too much to overcome against a Packers team playing at its…

For the second week in a row, the Detroit Lions struggled in all facets of the game against a division rival. After dominating the Green Bay Packers in Week 4, the Lions made mistake after mistake in a game that was not as close as the 29-22 final score would indicate.

Last week, the Detroit Lions moved to 8-2 for the first time since 1962. Today, on Thanksgiving, they look to keep pace with that team by moving to 9-2 with a win over the Green Bay Packers. No divisional game is ever easy, but there are a few things working in the Lions’ favor this…

The Detroit Lions continue to grab attention in the best way and head into their annual spotlight game with plenty of positive momentum. Though the Green Bay Packers are not good enough to make this an exciting battle of true contenders, the Lions are unlikely to pass up the opportunity to make some noise anyway.

If you grew up watching or playing football, chances are you didn’t have dreams of one day becoming an offensive lineman. After all, how fun can it really be? Sure, everything starts with the players up front. But what about the recognition? Offensive linemen don’t typically sell a ton of jerseys (although we are seeing…

The Detroit Lions (8-2) host the Green Bay Packers (4-6) in Week 12 and both teams have declared their injury designations for the game. While the Lions are relatively healthy, with just one starter declared out, the Packers have 15 players on their injury report, placed tight end Luke Musgrave and running back Emanuel Wilson…

The Detroit Lions are making the final tweaks to their Week 12 roster, as they prepare to take on the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. In their latest move, they have promoted offensive lineman Michael Schofield and defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna from the practice squad to the game-day roster for this Thursday’s game.

Inadvertently or not, the Detroit Lions revealed the uniforms they will be sporting for Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day classic game against the Green Bay Packers. In a post on Twitter, the Lions announced that every team playing on Thanksgiving will be wearing this patch to honor the late legend John Madden.

The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers face off for the second matchup this season, this time in the opening Thanksgiving Day classic. Roles are reversed from a typical Lions Thanksgiving Day game: Detroit is nearly guaranteed to make the postseason at 8-2, while the Packers are hanging on to threads of belief that they…

The Detroit Lions (8-2) host the Green Bay Packers (4-6) on Thursday in their annual Thanksgiving game, and because of the short week, the Lions are only holding walkthrough practices in the lead-up to the contest. For the most part, the Lions remain very healthy and only one starter is dealing with an injury that…

The Detroit Lions finally got some help within the NFC North this week, when the Minnesota Vikings lost to the Denver Broncos on a last-minute touchdown. The Vikings had previously won five games in a row, so while the Lions were continuing to win, they weren’t truly creating any distance in the division until this…

The Detroit Lions were not at their best against the Chicago Bears in Week 11, but they managed to escape with a win, overcoming a 12-point deficit with only minutes remaining in the game. There is a lot to clean up for the Lions, that’s for certain, and it was one of their sloppiest performances…

The Detroit Lions host a divisional rival in the Green Bay Packers in their annual Thanksgiving game. Detroit is coming off a comeback victory over another NFC North team, the Chicago Bears, 31-26. The Lions last won on Thanksgiving in 2016, and they look to end their six-game Thanksgiving losing streak on Thursday.
