Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore had a special gift for a fan after the star wide receiver scored a touchdown against the Detroit Lions last Sunday, and that fan was rooting for the other team. Brothers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Equanimeous St. Brown host a podcast together. Amon-Ra plays for the Lions, who just

The NFL and Thanksgiving are an iconic duo, with most fans still thinking about John Madden eating turkey or turducken. However, after a recent revelation, it’s pretty doubtful that Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell will become universally loved on Thanksgiving too. Everyone likes their Thanksgiving dinner done differently. Because of that, there’s a lot

The Detroit Lions are having a great season. They are one of the most exciting teams in the league so seeing them in a standalone spot is a great chance to see some of their stars up close.   There are going to be lots of ways to get down on the NFL on Thursday

The Lions, Cowboys and 49ers are significant favorites in the NFL’s Thanksgiving action. As we prepare to gorge on football on Thursday, here are the most significant players and storylines to watch when Week 12 begins.  Green Bay Packers (4-6) at Detroit Lions (8-2) | 12:30 p.m. ET Lions in unchartered territory: Detroit is a

The Detroit Lions cleared numerous hurdles to reach their annual Thanksgiving Day home game in full control of the NFC North. On Thursday, Detroit will look to snap its six-game losing streak on the holiday when it hosts the Green Bay Packers. “We’re trying to turn over a new leaf here,” coach Dan Campbell said.

In their last four games, the Lions have yielded an average of 29 points per game, showcasing some defensive struggles. Despite these challenges, Detroit exhibited resilience in a strong fourth-quarter performance against the Chicago Bears, allowing only two field goals. However, Dan Campbell‘s defense has yet to reach the high standard set earlier in the

Football is god in Texas. It’s just one of those commonly known facts in the world. Even if you’re not from there, it’s uploaded into mind with movies and TV shows like Friday Night Lights or Varsity Blues. Imagine if there were one person who personified that football is god more than anyone and you

Week 12 is here already. It’s Thanksgiving football time and the Lions are looking for their first turkey day win since 2016. But first, we have to finish looking at the remnants of Week 11. The Lions had a crazy comeback win over the Bears. Did that change the opinion of the power rankings makers?

The Green Bay Packers have had a hard time facing physical opponents under head coach Matt LaFleur. It’s not a coincidence that teams like the San Francisco 49ers, for example, have taken advantage of the matchup. This is particularly important this week, because that’s what head coach Dan Campbell has established in Detroit, and the

Detroit Lions legend Barry Sanders retired out of nowhere after the 1998 season and everyone has been trying to figure out why for well over 20 years.  There’s been a lot of theories out there. Was he tired of losing? Did he have problems with head coach Bobby Ross? Was it a problem with the

The Green Bay Packers , at 4-6, do not have much of a chance of catching the Detroit Lions, who are 8-2, for the top spot in the NFC North.  However, Green Bay is just a game out of the final wild-card spot in the NFC with seven games to play. Of course, in order

In one of the more improbable comebacks you’ll ever see, the Detroit Lions erased a 12-point deficit with three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to defeat their NFC North rival, the Chicago Bears. The offense came to life, the defense stepped up, and in the end, the Lions were able to push their record

Trailing 26-14 with 4:15 left in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s matchup with the Chicago Bears, the Detroit Lions called Jameson Williams’ number. On a first-and-10 from just outside the red zone, Jared Goff spotted Williams as he got behind two Bears defensive backs and hit him in stride for a 32-yard touchdown that pulled

It’s been a long hard road for Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams. He’s had the ACL injury, the gambling suspension, the drops, the hamstring and all the things that fans and media have had to say about him. Through it all the kid just kept smiling and working and doing everything he could to

David Montgomery scored on a 1-yard run with 29 seconds remaining and the Detroit Lions rallied from a 12-point, fourth-quarter deficit to pull out a 31-26 victory over the visiting Chicago Bears on Sunday. Montgomery, a former Bears running back, rushed for 76 yards. Jared Goff, who threw a season-high three interceptions, engineered two fourth-quarter

With most of the Week 11 schedule in the books let’s take a look at some of the biggest winners around the NFL.  Tommy DeVito, QB, New York Giants. The most stunning performance of the day on Sunday came from the Giants’ backup quarterback. DeVito bounced back from a miserable performance in Dallas a week

Detroit Lions first-year running back Jahmyr Gibbs made impressive franchise history after another strong performance in Sunday’s 31-26 win over the Chicago Bears.  Gibbs found the end zone for the fourth consecutive game in Week 11, becoming only the third rookie running back in Lions history to do so, joining Kevin Jones (2004) and Hall

You could really feel it creeping back in there for a second on Sunday. There were a decent subsection of Detroit Lions fans that were ready to throw Jared Goff to the wolves after a ton of good games and one really bad one.  I get it, I wasn’t ready to throw in the towel

The Detroit Lions have a big game today. Just their second divisional game of the year, but the first of two in a row. We already know that the Lions will be down two starters for this one.  Left guard Jonah Jackson and defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs were both ruled out on Friday. Let’s see

It’s Saturday. You know what that means. It’s time for the Lions to shuffle around the roster as they do every week. This week they kept it pretty simple. With both Jonah Jackson and Isaiah Buggs out for this game, the Lions made a couple elevations to help them with that. Here’s what they did
