The Green Bay Packers were hit with a reality check last Thursday night, as they fell to the Detroit Lions by a score of 34-20. It represented their first of two meetings with the Lions on the season, with the second coming on Thanksgiving. Judging by the comments of Packers running back Aaron Jones after

Sean McDermott, head coach, Buffalo Bills: After a record-breaking 70-point performance a week ago, it looked like the Miami Dolphins offense simply couldn’t be stopped.

Detroit Lions rookie tight end Sam LaPorta has been thoroughly impressive over his first four games of the season and is even making history.

Week 4 in the NFL began with the Detroit Lions defeating the Green Bay Packers 34-20, as the Lions took over the NFC North lead. Detroit dominated in the first half thanks to a suffocating defensive performance, and Green Bay’s late comeback attempt eventually faltered. Though it’s early in the season, the fears by Packers fans

Going into Week 4, people weren’t sure whether or not to take Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions seriously.

Anyone who drafted Jameson Williams in fantasy football did so knowing that they’d need to be patient. The 2022 first-round pick entered the NFL Draft after tearing his ACL and wasn’t expected to play much as a rookie.

Detroit is off to a 3-1 start, so this may seem nitpicky, but the Lions must re-evaluate their division of labor at running back. Detroit must give wildly talented rookie Jahmyr Gibbs the lion’s share of the touches out of the backfield, not veteran David Montgomery. After sporting one of the NFL’s best running back duos

Jordan Love didn’t use the same colorful language as his head coach, but the Packers quarterback was realistic about the results of Thursday’s game with the Lions. Detroit is the team to beat in the NFC North. That’s after the Lions overwhelmed the Packers at Lambeau Field, 34-20. Detroit, at one point, owned a 24-point
