It must be Jared Goff day or something. This is a companion piece to another Goff article written on Wednesday. Anyhow, let me just get this out of the way. I don’t have any inside information on this, but I think we can all agree at this point that Jared Goff is going to get

Detroit Lions‘ safety Ifeatu Melifonwu has come on like a house on fire since taking over the starting role from Tracy Walker ahead of the Lions Week 14 matchup with the Bears.  He had a good game against the Bears and then a great game against the Broncos. On Sunday he had an elite type

The Detroit Lions have just won the NFC North for the first time since 1993. However, Jared Goff did his best Kobe Bryant impression when discussing where the Lions go from here. By taking down the Minnesota Vikings 30-24 in Week 16, Detroit moved to 11-4 on the year. Alongside their division crown, the victory

The Dallas Cowboys are facing a dilemma in 2024. With the team set to go over the salary cap next season, they will need to find cost-effective ways to stay competitive. But how can they do that? Well, they can start by finding quality free agents that don’t cost too much. Dallas’ offensive line is

No matter what happens from here on out, this season has and will be a rollicking success for the Detroit Lions. They clinched their first-ever NFC North division win in franchise history in Week 16 with their 30-24 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Just because the Lions have made history, however, doesn’t mean there still

What a weekend of football for the Detroit Lions and their fans. The Lions captured their first NFC North title and their first divsion championship since 1993. They also clinched their first playoff berth since 2016 and will now host a playoff game at Ford Field for the first time ever. Surely that was enough

Cut once again by the Lions, Riley Patterson cleared waivers on Christmas Day. After making more than 88% of his field goal tries this season, the young kicker has another gig. The Browns added Patterson to their practice squad Monday, doing so after playing much of their Week 16 game without a kicker. Dustin Hopkins

The Cleveland Browns signed a new kicker following the injury to Dustin Hopkins. Hopkins suffered a hamstring injury during the team’s 36-22 win over the Houston Texans in Week 16 on Sunday. He was set to undergo an MRI on Monday, and the team estimated that he would not have practiced on Monday. With Hopkins

Starting K Dustin Hopkins went down with an injury this past weekend so the Browns will need the depth if he can’t go.  Patterson, 24, wound up going undrafted out of Memphis back in 2021.

Cousins tore his Achilles midseason and is out for the rest of the

The Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions have both have very impressive seasons respectively. They are both franchises that have been on the rise in the NFL over the last few seasons and are both looking to make a strong push in the playoffs this year.

Detroit STAND UP! After 30-odd years of nothing but disappointing seasons, the Detroit Lions have finally become the Kings of the NFC North. The team’s 30-24 victory over the Minnesota Vikings made them the undisputed champions of their division. The team had not won a divisional title since 1993, but this year has been the

The Detroit Lions are once again Kings of the NFC North. A lot of it has to do with the lethal mix of talent in the Jared Goff-led squad along with the brilliant schemes that Dan Campbell pulls on a weekly basis. But, it was not just an exciting time for the squad when they

Left tackle Taylor Decker has been playing for the Detroit Lions since he entered the NFL in 2016. In other words, he’s been through a lot, which makes Sunday’s 30-24 win on the road over the Minnesota Vikings so much sweeter. With that victory, Detroit clinched the franchise’s first division title since 1993. It’s quite

This Christmas will be a joyous one for a few NFL franchises. Here are the teams and players who will be the happiest, the winners of Week 16. Detroit Lions: Detroit is partying like “Jurassic Park” is the top-grossing film in the country. It’s been a long time since the Lions have won a division,

In 1993, Bill Clinton began his run inside the Oval Office as the 42nd president of the United States. Michael Jackson put on perhaps the greatest Super Bowl Halftime Show of all-time. Oh, and the Detroit Lions (11-4) won a division title for the fourth time in franchise history. You see, a lot has changed

Here it is. We’re just a few hours out from a huge game for the Detroit Lions. One of the biggest of all time with three big implications attached. The divsion, the playoffs and the second seed. It’s time to see who won’t be playing for the Lions in this one.  C.J. Gardner-Johnson Jerry Jacobs
