In an unfortunate development, Lions head coach Dan Campbell has been forced to sell his suburban Detroit home due to security concerns. Campbell told Crain’s reporter Nick Manes that he had to reluctantly sell his Bloomfield Hills home because of growing concerns over fans showing up at the property. The address of the home became

Fresh off losing Greg Joseph to the New York Giants active roster, the Detroit Lions have added a new kicker to the team’s practice squad. The Lions announced they signed kicker Matthew McCrane to the opening on the practice squad roster. The 30-year-old McCrane hasn’t kicked in the regular season since 2018, though he has

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has revealed the initial nominees for the induction class of 2025. Among the 167 players making the cut are several players with Detroit Lions ties. Most notable is wide receiver Herman Moore, who has been nominated before but keeps getting snubbed as the voting progressed to finalists. Moore’s three-year

The Detroit Lions offense is not living up to the preseason hype or lofty expectations, not through the first two weeks. A unit that was top five in both yards and points in each of the last two seasons is still cranking out the yards, but the points have been painfully difficult to produce. Ben

October 13 is set to be a raucous day at Ford Field. And it will be all because of the fans since the team won’t even be in Detroit that day. The Lions announced a watch party that will take place for the Lions’ Week 6 game at the Dallas Cowboys. Kickoff is set for

Jared Goff has always been something of a tale of two quarterbacks, as Lions legend Herman Moore recently described. The Goff playing without pressure from the defense is consistently one of the NFL’s better quarterbacks. The Goff under pressure, well, not so much… That was certainly the case in Detroit’s Week 2 loss to the

Greg Joseph, we hardly knew ye… Technically, no one in Detroit outside of the Lions themselves really knew Joseph in his brief stay with the team. The Lions signed Joseph, a veteran kicker, to the practice squad just last Wednesday. Now, Joseph is heading to New York. The Giants are signing away Joseph from Detroit’s

Interior OL was a problem It started on the very first play, a Goff INT that was an absolutely missed defensive pass interference call. Both C Frank Ragnow and LG Graham Glasgow got pushed back into Goff’s pocket; nose tackle Vita Vea swam across Ragnow and grazed Goff’s left side right after he threw. Ragnow

The rookies for the Lions continue to make a name for themselves. A couple of them had some moments in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. How did they do? Let’s talk about it. CB Terrion Arnold Sep 15, 2024; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold (0) breaks up a pass intended for Tampa

By now, we all know about the Detroit Lions odd struggles on offense. These struggles aren’t about getting downfield and gaining yards or getting their playmakers involved. Through two games, Amon-Ra St. Brown has 25 targets (2nd-most in the NFL) and Jameson Williams has 20 targets (5th most in the NFL). We could say that

See my postgame article for the initial analysis with videos of the Lions injuries coming out of the Bucs game. Dan Campbell provided updates to some of those players on Monday that I’ll try to decrypt. Amon-Ra St. Brown left leg Adam Schefter earlier on Monday provided a positive update. Despite being hobbled during Sunday’s

It was a disappointing Sunday for the Detroit Lions as the offense struggled and they wasted a 4.5-sack day for Aidan Hutchinson. Was Hutchinson the top overall player for the Lions in the eyes of Pro Football Focus in Week 2? Here are the top (and bottom) grades from Sunday. We are using a minimum

The NFC North had some interesting results for Week 2 and now a surprise team sits alone in first place in the division after two games. Let’s recap the week that was among the foursome. Lions stumble at home vs. Buccaneers A rough day on offense wasted a 4.5-sack performance for Lions defensive end Aidan

The day after a game is always a good time to check back in on who played and for how long for the Detroit Lions. Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers snap counts are now out. Before even getting to the player participation, the stark discrepancy in the number of offensive snaps jumps off

Despite some pain on the scoreboard, this was an overall healthy game for the Lions. No long-term injuries are anticipated. Amon-Ra St. Brown left leg Let’s walk through the three main videos of his injuries. 1q 00:17 – Saint’s left leg gets pulled on the tackle which could have caused a thigh strain or groin

The Detroit Lions offense filled up the stat sheet on Sunday, but Ben Johnson’s unit failed to find success at converting opportunity and yardage production into points. The Lions lost to the Buccaneers, 20-16, despite gaining more than double the yards that Tampa Bay posted against Detroit’s own defense. The Lions woes were especially pronounced

The Detroit Lions dropped a tough one at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The Lions lost 20-16 despite the best efforts of Aidan Hutchinson. The third-year defensive end racked up 4.5 sacks in the loss, dominating with his pass rush. Hutchinson had an amazing game, as did the Lions defense for the

Time to think long and hard about who the Player of the Game award goes to for Week 2? Ok, that’s long enough. It’s Aidan Hutchinson. No need for a dramatic pause. The dude had 4.5 sacks against the Buccaneers and quarterback Baker Mayfield — one of his sacks was credited as a half-sack to

In a game many expected to be a shootout, it turned into a defensive struggle as the Detroit Lions fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-16, dropping to 1-1 on the season. The Lions’ defense dominated, applying consistent pressure on Baker Mayfield and completely shutting down the Buccaneers’ run game. Typically, this would be a

The Detroit Lions blew an opportunity to put some much-needed points on the board at the end of the first half. Trailing Tampa Bay 13-6 but in the red zone with a chance to score, a horribly botched sequence by the Lions offense kept Detroit from getting points. The sequence concluded with confusion between clocking
