It’s not often

After light work in his NFL debut, Lions rookie wide receiver Jameson Williams is lined up to play more against the Vikings.

With a lengthy run of ineptitude there are certainly a lot of candidates to consider on some level, but here is the Mount Rushmore of the most hated figures in Detroit Lions history. With no championships since 1957, and one playoff win since then (more than 30 years ago), the Detroit Lions are an easy

Jameson Williams didn’t play much in his NFL debut, as pretty much expected, but head coach Dan Campbell confirmed a pregame report about how the rookie wide receiver was going to be used.

As the 2022 season for the Los Angeles Rams continues to go deeper into the tank, the Detroit Lions will benefit big-time.

In a new 2023 first round mock, a top quarterback prospect falls outside the top-10 to the Detroit Lions. It’s only a matter of time before the Detroit Lions draft a quarterback, and set themselves (hopefully) on an upside track at the most important position on the field. Maybe it happens in next April’s draft,

DJ Chark playing against his former team is a bit of a headline this week, but the Lions wide receiver has dismissed any extra motivation for a “revenge game.” Upon signing with the Detroit Lions, albeit referring to last year’s dysfunction under Urban Meyer, DJ Chark did not say many good things about the Jacksonville
