The Detroit Lions might not be the youngest team in the NFL any longer, but there is still a plethora of young high-end talent on the team. That bright future is reflected in the latest edition of ESPN’s “All Youngster Team,” which breaks down the top talents under 24 years of age across the league.

Star pass-catcher Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Detroit Lions meet the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at 1:00 PM ET, at Caesars Superdome. From an offensive standpoint, the Lions rank seventh in the NFL with 26.7 points per game. Meanwhile, they rank 24th in points allowed (318.8 points allowed per contest). From an offensive perspective,

The Detroit Lions (8-3) will meet the New Orleans Saints (5-6) on Sunday, December 3, 2023 at Caesars Superdome. The Lions are listed as favorites in this one, with the spread sitting at 4 points. An over/under of 46 points has been set for the outing. The Lions lost to the Green Bay Packers, 29-22,

When the Detroit Lions hired Dan Campbell, we all knew we had to be patient. He and GM Brad Holmes were taking over a very bad roster that was in absolute shambles because of the previous regime of coach Matt Patricia and GM Bob Quinn. It wasn’t just Campbell where Lions fans needed patience. We

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the 25 semifinalists for the inauguration class of 2024. Two former Lions players were among those moving on in the process. They’re probably not the Lions most fans would expect, however. Dwight Freeney and Anquan Boldin are the two players who spent time with Detroit in their playing

The much-maligned Detroit Lions pass rush could get a shot in the arm in Week 13 against the Saints. Head coach Dan Campbell opened the door for Bruce Irvin to play as a potential practice squad elevation. In his weekly radio visit with 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit, Campbell indicated it could be time to

It’s been over a calendar year since Hendon Hooker tore the ACL in his left knee while playing for the Tennessee Volunteers. The quarterback hasn’t been active on the practice field yet. But that could be changing soon for Hooker, Detroit’s third-round rookie. On Monday, Lions head coach Dan Campbell was asked about the possibility

The Detroit Lions were back at practice on Monday after getting the weekend off following Thursday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers. It was thr first time since Thanksgiving for head coach Dan Campbell to address the media and update injuries as well. Unfortunately, the injury update is not so rosy for linebacker Alex Anzalone. 

Head coach Frank Reich wasn’t the only authority figure shown the door in Carolina. The Panthers organization also axed an assistant coach who was on Dan Campbell’s staff in Detroit in 2022. Panthers assistant head coach Duce Staley was fired with Reich. Staley held that role in 2021-2022 with the Lions, while also serving as

After a dismal 1-10 start, the Carolina Panthers have fired head coach Frank Reich. Sunday’s 17-10 loss to a 3-7 (entering the game) Titans team was the final straw for impetuous owner Dave Tepper. Reich’s removal opens the door for coaching candidate articles and speculation. Expect to see and hear a whole lot of Lions

Thanksgiving was a tough football meal to digest for the Detroit Lions. Losing 29-22 in Ford Field to the Green Bay Packers in a turkey of a game ruined the holiday buzz. I delayed this week’s film study and lessons learned from it a little to make sure the bad taste of the loss was

The rest of the football nation witnessed on Thanksgiving something Lions fans know all too well: Detroit’s pass rush is seriously lacking. The Lions defense did not sack Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love once. Detroit registered just four QB hits on Love’s 32 dropbacks, per the NFL’s official statistics. The lack of pressure and negative

Amon-Ra St. Brown got an unlikely defender in the fight against the Lions’ wideout’s hefty fine for a block in Detroit’s Week 11 win over the Chicago Bears. Recently retired defensive legend J.J. Watt slammed the NFL for a fine that Watt claims violates a “general rule of thumb.” The play in question saw St.

Lions wide receiver has been hit with a massive fine for unnecessary roughness in Detroit’s Week 11 win over the Chicago Bears. St. Brown was fined $43,709 for a fairly innocuous-looking block. It was the largest fine levied by the NFL on the week, more than double of any other infraction from Week 11. St.

Of the myriad issues that plagued the Detroit Lions in their Thanksgiving loss to the Green Bay Packers, the offensive line’s substandard performance really stands out. It was an atypical bad game for everyone on the Lions line, from likely All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell to bedrock veteran left tackle Taylor Decker. The biggest hole,

Thanksgiving came and went with Lions fans wanting to forget as much of it as they can. For the team themselves, this will be a  benchmark game that is reflected upon as the season goes on and how it turns out. The loss to the Packers opens up the division a little bit for rest

The game against the Packers on Thanksgiving was one that fans would like to forget. For the team, it could either serve as a breaking point or an important lesson on the way to a playoff run. The biggest cog in the machine that is the Lions season, however, remains the rookies. Some made big

The Detroit Lions needed a major comeback last weekend against the Chicago Bears. It was mentioned that on a short week, the team wouldn’t have much time to devote to fixing their issues and that take couldn’t have been more on the mark. The team turned the ball over while not giving the running game

Looking at the Detroit Lions and their team snap counts from the Week 12 loss to the Green Bay Packers, a few things stand out. Many help provide more content behind the Lions’29-22 loss in Ford Field. Take the total offensive snaps. Green Bay ran just 56 plays on offense, while Detroit snapped 84 offensive

The Detroit Lions will end Week 12 with an 8-3 record, good enough for a least a two-game lead in the NFC North division. But after Thursday’s uninspiring home loss to the Green Bay Packers, on the heels of an ugly win over the last-place Chicago Bears, the buzz on the Lions is fading a
