It’s Saturday. You know what that means. It’s time for the Detroit Lions to make their roster moves ahead of their next game. This week we’ve got some big things to talk about.

The Raiders cut Irvin loose in 2018 and he later signed on with the Falcons and finished out the

If the Lions are what we want them to be they should have an easy time in the Big Easy on Sunday. They are going to the playoffs for sure. The question is how is that going to look? Detroit is a road favorite with a chance to flex a little on Sunday. New Orleans

Lions Lions OC Ben Johnson said WR Jameson Williams is getting better every week and as a result, his reps continue to increase. “He’s getting better every week,” Johnson said, via Lions Wire. “You see it and because of that, the way he’s practicing, the way he’s preparing and the way he’s playing, because of

Hendon Hooker shook off a a year of rust this week to practice for the first time with the Lions. And he’s impressing the folks he needs to impress. Hooker is the former Tennessee Volunteer quarterback who was at the top of his game in November, 2022. There was talk of a Heisman, with Hooker

Then there’s the Arizona Cardinals, allowing the second-most yards per game to running backs and the second-most touchdowns per game. Harris has four touchdowns this year and had a big day last week in the first game since OC Matt Canada was fired. These two should pile up the yards and seem like a great

It hasn’t been confirmed just yet, but the expectation at this points is that Alex Anzalone will not be playing for the Detroit Lions when they head to New Orleans to play the Saints on Sunday. That opens up a huge gap on the Lions defense and it opens up the green dot role at

After a little mini bye week, Detroit Lions football is back. The Lions  will head to the big easy this Sunday to eat some shrimp gumbo and play the Saints.  That means it’s time to dive deep into the stats and analytics to find the four Lions that can have the biggest days. Here’s what

We are at the point and time during the NFL season where the NFL hadn’t actually scheduled a time and date for a few of the games later in the season, and now it’s time to schedule those dates and times. Well, the NFL just did that for one of the Denver Broncos games. Initially,

David Tepper is in yet another head coaching search. This time, he wants to make the right decision.  One of the candidates the Carolina Panthers are expected to tap is Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who has been instrumental in turning that dreary franchise into a formidable foe every Sunday, NFL insider Josina Anderson of

The Detroit Lions will look to return to their winning ways on Sunday when they head south to take on the playoff-hopeful New Orleans Saints from the Superdome. Following Detroit’s disappointing loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day, many fans are beginning to press the panic button despite the team’s 8-3 record and 2.5-game lead in the NFC North.

The Carolina Panthers are once again in need of a new head coach, and they are reportedly planning to circle back on at least one candidate who previously turned them down.

We know, we know. The college football season isn’t over and Jim Harbaugh isn’t going to potentially leave Michigan and coach a pro team until it is.  But logic like that hasn’t stopped oddsmakers from speculating whether he will return to the NFL sidelines next season — especially when teams are relieving HCs of their

The Lions started the three-week window on rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker on Wednesday, allowing him to practice with the team. Detroit can take all of the 21 days to make a decision on Hooker, the former Tennessee Vol who tore the anterior cruciate ligment in his left knee the week before Thanksgiving, 2022. Although he

The Falcons put distance between themselves and the Saints while Panthers fans inch closer to petitioning owner David Tepper to sell the team. These are our predictions for Week 13 in the NFC South.
