The Green Bay Packers are floundering. Tom Brady is starting to look his age. And if the playoffs started today, both New York teams would be in the postseason for the first time since 2006. The NFL in 2022 looks nothing like what most people expected two months ago, and nothing like what Detroit Lions

Amani Oruwariye was a surprise inactive for last week’s game against the New England Patriots, but the Detroit Lions are not counting their interception leader from last season out of their cornerback rotation yet. “Amani’s going to get a chance to compete,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said Monday. “I told him, he’s not out of
The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys play on Sunday in a game on the NFL Week 7 schedule. The Cowboys are a 6.5-point favorite, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The Cowboys are -300 on the moneyline in the game, which will be played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Lions are +245. The over/under for the game is set at
Second-year Detroit Lions defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike will miss the 2022 season after undergoing back surgery during last week’s bye. Lions coach Dan Campbell said Onwuzurike’s decision to have surgery was “a last resort” due to disc problems that have persisted throughout his career. A second-round pick out of Washington in 2021, Onwuzurike missed most
While the Detroit Lions’ 1-4 start to the 2022 season has featured many classic hallmarks of the “Same Old Lions” trope — including (but not limited to) questionable coaching moves, crushing turnovers returned for scores and defenses with less stopping power than a Camaro with the brakelines cut — it has been a rarity in
It’s easy to forget how deep a rebuild Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell undertook when they were hired to fix the Detroit Lions two Januarys ago. The Lions were coming off three straight last-place finishes in the NFC North and the organization was something no one wanted to be a part of after Matt Patricia
Roger Zatkoff ran a successful business into his 70s. He took vacations, sometimes traveling by himself to places like California and Florida, in his 80s. The former Detroit Lions linebacker and member of the team’s 1957 championship team lived a normal enough life that he was sure he did not have chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the

Yes, this feels familiar. Because we have already lived it. Once with the Detroit Tigers. Now with the Detroit Lions. A season of promise — poof — up in smoke after only a quarter of the season. All the excitement — oh, no, he’s hurt, too? — slipping away. When you look at these two
The Detroit Lions set a modern NFL record for most fourth down attempts without a conversion (six) in Sunday’s loss to the New England Patriots. The most scrutinized of those plays came in the second quarter, when Dan Campbell eschewed a 50-yard field goal attempt with new kicker Michael Badgley to try and convert on
The Detroit Lions’ kicking carousel has picked up another passenger. The Lions signed veteran kicker Sam Ficken to their practice squad Tuesday, a week after they bypassed signing him following a workout. Ficken is the sixth kicker the Lions have employed since training camp as they try and solve kicking game problems that date back
The Detroit Lions aren’t just disappointing. They aren’t just frustrating. They aren’t even just embarrassingly predictable. They are a black hole, an infinite and greedy fissure that sucks all the goodwill and hope in the “this-time-it-could-actually-be-us- universe” and never, ever, returns it. That too much? Well, the heart can only handle so much. But then

The first ax of the NFL season swung on Monday, claiming Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule after a 1-4 start in his third season. Some Detroit Lions fans frustrated with the Dan Campbell’s 1-4 start, and furious after Sunday’s 29-0 “rock bottom” loss in New England, surely hoped that ax would keep chopping its way
Frank Ragnow has seen this before. The Detroit Lions (1-4) have rattled off four underwhelming starts in the five seasons since Ragnow was drafted. After Sunday’s 29-0 loss to the New England Patriots, the Lions own the worst point-differential in the NFC North ahead of an upcoming bye week. “I know things might seem gloomy
Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell has some tough questions to answer during his weekly conference following the 29-0 loss Sunday to the New England Patriots. The offense was bad (zero points and season lows in rushing yards), the defense was bad (allowing 176 yards rushing and 188 yards passing vs. a rookie quarterback) and the
FOXBORO — Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and his staff have many ways to motivate their players. When it came to finding the right motivation for facing the Detroit Lions, Patriots coaches last week used a similar tactic to one they used during the 2014 season. Eight years ago, Patriots defensive coaches hung quotes by
NFL teams like to break their seasons into quarters. It’s a trick the bad teams use to keep hope alive when most everyone has hit eject on their seasons, and one the good teams employ to not get too wide-eyed about what lies ahead. For the Detroit Lions, the way the calendar falls this year,
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Free Press sports writer Dave Birkett breaks down the Detroit Lions‘ 29-0 loss to the New England Patriots, and looks at players and coaches who helped and hurt their stock Sunday at Gillette Stadium: Stock up S DeShon Elliott The Lions demoted Elliott from the starting lineup Sunday, but he played nearly
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — It was a beautiful day in New England on Sunday. A crisp, cool breeze rustled through the leaves just starting to change colors in the bucolic countryside outside Gillette Stadium. But back in Detroit, the sky is supposedly falling for Detroit Lions fans, no matter what the forecast says. Because they lost
