The Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos have some familiar faces between them. Dan Campbell, the head coach of the ions, was once an assistant for Sean Payton. Alex Anzalone, the Lions’ best linebacker, was once a linebacker for the New Orleans Saints, playing for Payton. So, it has now come full circle in some way.

The Detroit Lions playoff experience is sparse in the 21st century, but another chapter is headed to the Motor City soon. Even after losing last week, a few doors opened up for the 9-4 team to earn their first postseason trip since the 2016 season. Unlike some of the other teams in action this weekend,
Let’s just call a spade a spade here. Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is playing some really bad football right now. Some of the worst that he’s played since coming to Detroit. Take a look at what his last seven games have looked like. 120-262 for 1,831 yards, 10 touchdowns, seven interceptions and three fumbles.
Detroit Lions Dan Campbell Talks Facing Sean Payton After Campbell was done with his playing career, he got into coaching. After being an intern for a while with the Dolphins, Payton hired him to be the tight ends coach in New Orleans. This was where Campbell learned the skills to be the head coach he
The Detroit Lions lost for the second time in three games this past weekend, falling to the Chicago Bears by a score of 28-13 in a surprising defeat. Naturally, many are now beginning to question whether or not the Lions are serious contenders, and quarterback Jared Goff is annoyed by all of the chirping. “You
There was no fourth-quarter magic this time around. The Detroit Lions fell to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, 28-13, in one of their most uninspiring performances of the season. Detroit was severely outplayed and outcoached in all three phases of the game and didn’t look the part of a true contender. Below are a few
The Chicago Bears earned probably their best win of the season in Week 14, knocking off their division rival Detroit Lions 28-13. The Bears played a stellar game on both sides of the football, forcing two interceptions against Jared Goff and winning the battle of the trenches, stopping Detroit from getting first down conversions in
The Detroit Lions suffered a disappointing 28-13 loss to the Chicago Bears on the road on Sunday, and a topic as of late has been the lack of involvement of Jameson Williams in the offense. Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that they will work to involve him in the offense more, and that he
Everyone takes losing in a different way. Some take it in stride. They look at what went wrong and think “that sucked, but it’s not something that can’t be overcome.” Others take a much different path and then demand that everyone get fired while also saying that the “house is on fire and the Detroit
Week 14 was a rough weekend for the Detroit Lions. They lost a divisional game to the Chicago Bears and then the Vikings got a crazy 3-0 win. Luckily Tommy Cutlets and the Giants were able to beat the Packers and do the Lions a favor. Here’s what the playoff picture looks like for the
Lions safety CJ Gardner-Johnson wants to return to the middle of the Detroit secondary before the end of the regular season, and head coach Dan Campbell is starting to believe he might be ready to do just that. “He has a chance. Lazarus has a chance,” Campbell said Monday. Gardner-Johnson had surgery to repair a
You would have thought the Detroit Lions would have been interested in a reunion with defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh, but apparently, it was the furthest thing from their minds. The Lions, who signed fellow defensive lineman Tyson Alualu last week, evidently wanted nothing to do with bringing Suh back into the fold even though the
What a year it has been for the Detroit Lions and their offensive line. They’ve had a different combination of players in nearly every single game this season. One player that was expected to be stable part of this line this year is Jonah Jackson. He’s in a contract year and the expectation was that
The Detroit Lions made some truly puzzling moves on Saturday when they only elevated guard Michael Niese for their game against the Bears. When they did that, they left out Bruce Irvin, Michael Schofield and Quinton Bohanna. After Sunday’s game, most of those moves look even worse now. Let’s start on the interior of defensive
Let me start this off by saying that Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has done a phenomenal job with this team. Yes, he has a weakness and we’ll get to it, but that does not at all overpower the fact that he took this team at one of it’s lowest points ever and rebuilt
Lions Lions LB Bruce Irvin was fined $7,766 for a hit on a quarterback and S Kerby Joseph was fined $6,230 for unsportsmanlike conduct. Lions HC Dan Campbell said there was a lack of discipline in the loss to the Bears: “We’ve been a disciplined team, but we just weren’t enough today, and they were.”
Before the bye week it was clear as day that the Detroit Lions were going to extend Jared Goff after this season. He was going to get paid no doubt. He was the leagues highest graded quarterback per PFF, the ball security issues seem to be gone, he was handling pressure well and the Lions
The Chicago Bears took full advantage of the Detroit Lions making crucial errors and the defense was the difference. Justin Fields and DJ Moore played hard, making colossal strides in the second half to create big plays while the defense kept Jared Goff and company on their toes. With the 28-13 victory, the Bears have
The Detroit Lions looked like they had chance to control this game and then the third quarter happened and all hell broke loose in the worst way and the Bears ran up the score. The Lions couldn’t get the comeback win this time and they lose 28-13 to the Bears. As always, I have thoughts
What a week it has been for the Detroit Lions. It feels like Alim McNeill got moved to injured reserve three months ago, but it was only a few days ago. The week has felt so long because we’ve all been wondering who will step in for McNeill this week. The Lions have kept their
