The New York Jets will take on the Los Angeles Chargers on “Monday Night Football” to close out the Week 9 slate, and both teams need a win to keep pace in the AFC wild-card battle. New York will be gunning for its fourth straight win to improve to 5-3, while L.A. needs a victory

We’re halfway through the season and it’s time to talk about the playoffs and where things stand for the Detroit Lions. Going forward we will be talking about this every week.  Playoff standings right now: Team Record Eagles 8-1 Lions 6-2 49ers 5-3 Saints 5-3 Seahawks  5-3 Cowboys 5-3 Vikings 5-4 Right now the Lions

Week 9 will be over and done with soon. Now it’s time for us to look back at the first half of the Detroit Lions season. That’s just what we’re going to do. All this week we’re going to be doing a series of mid-season articles. We’ll be talking about both the good and the

Late last month, former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker made it clear that he’s not a fan of UT wearing black cleats with their all-white road uniforms.  “Whoever is picking the black socks and cleats is crazy,” wrote Hooker in an Instagram comment under a post announcing the Vols’ uniform combination for the Kentucky game. 

The Detroit Lions have been one of the NFL’s most pleasant surprises over the first half of the 2023 campaign, as they have own the league’s second-best record at 6-2. With the Lions on the come-up, they could end up being a big player in free agency this coming offseason, especially given the fact that

The Detroit Lions didn’t do a ton at the NFL trade deadline like some thought they would do. They kept it conservative and went  out and got a receiver they felt could really help them in former Michigan standout Donovan Peoples-Jones.  In my opinion, and I’ve documented that opinion, Peoples-Jones is a very underrated addition

St. Brown is also turning heads in the locker room, garnering wild comparisons from his quarterback. “The way that he is, in the weight room and on the field are very similar to my experience with Aaron Donald,” Goff told Eric Woodyard of ESPN. “Like, it is business, business, business. He works harder than everybody.” 

The Detroit Lions are on a bye week, but the business is still moving. Since the Lions win on Monday, the  Lions have done a few things of note. One of them was trading a sixth round pick to the Cleveland Browns for Donovan Peoples-Jones before the trade deadline on Tuesday.  The Lions sent long-snapper

It’s hard to believe that going into Week 4’s Thursday night football game, the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions seemed to be on similar footing. Both were 2-1, and both had overcome close Week 2 losses and had won in Week 3. But since September 28th’s 34-20 drubbing by Detroit, the franchises now seem

Back in August I sat down and made a projection on what the Detroit Lions offensive stat lines would look like at the end of the season. The plan was to come back to it twice. Once at the bye and once at the end of the year. Here we are at the bye, now

The Detroit Lions lost a key member of their special team unit on Monday when Scott Daly went down with a season ending knee injury. In a move that comes as no surprise, the Lions are signing former Pro Bowl long snapper Jake McQuaide to their practice squad. McQuaide spent the entirety of training camp

Quarterback is the most important position in football. A team’s season can change in the blink of an eye if its franchise quarterback misses time. Not only that, but it is apparent how quickly the fan base’s outlook and front office decisions alter due to quarterback injuries.  Week 8 was not friendly to quarterbacks as

The Detroit Lions bounced back in Week 8, defeating the Las Vegas Raiders by a score of 26-14 this past Monday after getting routed by the Baltimore Ravens the previous weekend. The Lions improved to 6-2 with the win and are tied for the second-best record in the NFL. They are just one game behind

The Detroit Lions were one of the teams to pull off a trade ahead of the 2023 NFL Trade Deadline. They acquired wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a 2024 sixth-round pick. It isn’t a move that will garner a ton of attention in the football world, as other headline-grabbing

The Detroit Lions didn’t make a big deal at the trade deadline on Tuesday and some Lions fans were pretty upset about it.  One of the big reasons why the Lions didn’t go out and get one of the premier pass rushers you might have hoped they would get is because they were all on

With Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline in the rearview, here are the biggest winners and losers. Winner: San Francisco 49ers They can’t keep getting away with this. The 49ers — who acquired star RB Christian McCaffrey at the trade deadline last season — won the trade deadline for the second consecutive season by adding former No.

The Detroit Lions got things back on track with a victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. At 6-2, they have one of the best records in the NFL and are looking to cement their status as a contender in the NFC. To help solidify that standing, Detroit went out and acquired

One thing I’m always going to do is be honest with my readers. I had visions of how this post deadline article was going to go since last night after the Detroit Lions win over the Raiders. I wrote up an article at midnight that said it was time for the Lions to trade for

The Detroit Lions didn’t go out and make the superstar deal that Lions fans may have wanted them to make, but they did make a solid deal on deadline day. They went out and traded a 2025 sixth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for former Michigan standout Donovan Peoples-Jones.  You might not think of it

After Detroit Lions rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs broke out in a win against the Las Vegas Raiders, he’s on the verge of becoming a must-start for fantasy players. “Gibbs will remain a must-start player for as long as [David] Montgomery remains out,” wrote Pro Football Focus fantasy analyst Nathan Jahnke. “The Lions have a
