The Detroit Lions aren’t going to the playoffs despite their thrilling 20-16 win on Sunday night at Lambeau Field. But the Green Bay Packers aren’t going, either.

The Detroit Lions enter the long NFL offseason with two picks in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft, and now we know exactly where those picks fall. The Lions reap the rewards of the Matthew Stafford trade from nearly two years ago, and own the Los Angeles Rams’ pick at No. 6 overall.

The Detroit Lions‘ upset of the Green Bay Packers, 20-16, on Sunday night at Lambeau Field had a trickle-down effect on their 2023 schedule. They will not host the Los Angeles Rams during the 2023 NFL regular season, which means no return of former franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford. At least until 2024, when the Rams

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Detroit Lions will have to wait at least one more season to end their NFL playoff drought.

Their season may be over before it’s technically over, though looking at tonight’s game against Green Bay like that is the last thing Dan Campbell wants his Lions to do.

How’s this for a New Year? Matthew Stafford is definitely not going to the playoffs, but his old team might. Or this: By the stroke of midnight, the Detroit Lions could send Aaron Rodgers home for the winter, while they continue into the postseason. Or this: A team that had 13 losses in 17 games

I’ve had a revelation about Jared Goff. But first, let me offer a peek into how the sausage is made in the press box on deadline. Here’s how it works. Sports writers are usually writing throughout the game. It picks up after halftime, when we really hunker down and stop watching TikTok cat videos. When

The Detroit Lions are getting one starter back in their secondary for Sunday’s showdown with the Green Bay Packers, but could be without another because of injury. Lions cornerback Jeff Okudah was added to the injury report Friday with an elbow injury and is questionable for Sunday’s game. Okudah has started all 15 of the

Several Detroit Lions rookies were playing out of their minds. Smashing quarterbacks. Making interceptions. Climbing into the record books. And winning games. James Houston was getting sacks, seemingly every time he started to bend and turn the corner. Aidan Hutchinson was doing a little of everything, getting sacks, pressures and interceptions. And Malcolm Rodriguez was
