Detroit Lions fans have longed for their team to be the last one standing at the end of an NFL season, and with Sunday night’s comeback victory over the Houston Texans, this may finally be the year for Detroit to be Super Bowl champions. Detroit coming back from being down 23-7 on Sunday night in

The Pittsburgh Steelers are off to a remarkable 7-2 start. Unless the Steelers completely collapse in the final eight games, Mike Tomlin will have an 18th consecutive non-losing season. He needs just two more wins to accomplish that feat. The Steelers over/under win total heading into 2024 was 8.5. To say the least, the Steelers

Grade: B-  The reason I went with B- here is because the penalties did happen and while he took a big break from them, he had a 45-yard one on Sunday. He’s getting better at everything though.  Ennis Rakestraw I had a lot of high hopes for Rakestraw coming out, but the Lions are really

Lions Lions K Jake Bates drilled a pair of 50-plus yard field goals including a 58-yarder to help seal Detroit’s improbable comeback in Houston. Bates reflected on his crazy rookie season to this point and being the hero on Sunday Night Football.  “I think it almost feels too scripted, it’s too good to be true,”

On a night when Jared Goff threw more interceptions in one night than he’s thrown all season, the game against the Houston Texans began to resemble a dumpster fire. But just like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the Lions came roaring back to win an ugly game, 26 to 23.     Lions Roar Back

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had been having an amazing season prior to Sunday’s win over the Texans. Through six games he was completing 83.3% of his passes and had a passer rating of 133.7. There was absolutely no doubt that he was in the MVP talk and that he could have been a leader

The Detroit Lions beat the Houston Texans in a game that was a tale of two halves. With Jared Goff throwing three interceptions and the defense allowing 23 points, the Detroit Lions struggled to get anything going in the first half. In the second half, the defense held Houston scoreless and picked off Stroud twice

The Detroit Lions are facing an injury concern ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, as tight end Sam LaPorta deals with a shoulder issue. LaPorta, who was having his best game of the season, suffered the injury in the second half. He had caught three passes for 66 yards and a

Detroit Lions (8-1) linebacker James Houston was trending Sunday night… for all of the wrong reasons. In the second quarter of the 26-23 Week 10 road victory over the Houston Texans (6-4), Houston was part of a group of defenders which helped stop running back Joe Mixon for a loss of three yards. Those watching

Anyone else notice that the Detroit Lions seem to sign a different linebacker or linebackers every week? They’ve signed six different linebackers since August. They love this position and they continuously bring guys in. Last week it was Ezekiel Turner and plus they signed Abraham Beauplan to the 53-man roster as well. They just waived

Way back in 2017 Bob Quinn and the Detroit Lions drafted a defensive lineman out of Eastern Michigan in the seventh round. Seven years later he finally made his Lions debut and on Sunday against the Texans, he made the very most of the snaps given to him and made a case that he should

In a battle of field goals, the Houston Texans almost toppled the mighty Detroit Lions, but ultimately lost 26-23. It was a valiant effort from Houston’s squad who started the game without Nico Collins, who was cleared to play from injured reserve but was not feeling 100%. Despite that setback, Joe Mixon led the Texans

Jake Bates kicked a 52-yard field goal just inside the left upright as time expired and the Detroit Lions overcame a 16-point halftime deficit to record a 26-23 victory over the host Houston Texans on Sunday night. Bates also drilled a tying 58-yard field goal that slipped just inside the right upright with 5:01 left

Well, that was not a good night for the Lions, but they figured it out. This is why this team is who they are. The Lions win an unreal game 26-23.  Good teams have bad days, great teams find a way to win despite it I know that there were some Lions fans that were

I know it’s a bit disappointing becasue you waited and waited for the Detroit Lions to make a trade and then they finally did last Tuesday when they brought in former Pro Bowler Za’Darius Smith to help them out on the edge, but not playing Smith against the Texans on Sunday night is the right

All hands are going to need to be on deck if the Houston Texans want to topple the Detroit Lions in Week 10. The good news for Houston is that Nico Collins looks like he might be ready to play, and his presence has been sorely needed in this offense. It will be an uphill

In correspondence, the Lions have waived DL Isaiah Thomas and placed LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin on injured reserve. Additionally, Detroit has elevated LB Ezekiel Turner and OL Jamarco Jones from the practice squad to the active roster. Zylstra, 27, signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent out of Minnesota State-Mankato following the 2021 NFL

Last week the Detroit Lions went to Green Bay and beat the Packers in the rain, but not everyone got to participate in the whole game. Safety Brian Branch got ejected by the league offices in New York after this hit.  There was some very small thought that Branch could be suspended by the league,

The Detroit Lions are heading to Houston as we speak to take on the Texans, but first they made a ton of roster moves ahead of the game. Here’s what they did: Placed Jalen Reeves-Maybin on injure reserve A tough blow to the Lions special teams unit. Reeves-Maybin has been the best special teams player

Bears When appearing on 670 The Score, Bears WR D.J. Moore was asked if he thinks HC Matt Eberflus has lost the team after its 29-9 loss to the Cardinals in Week 9. “I want to say no,” Moore said. “The message yesterday was that we know we’re 4-4 now. It’s just like being 0-0.
