Are you ready for a second dose of “Sunday Night Football” in Week 12? After closing out Thanksgiving Day, “Sunday Night Football” returns to its regularly schedule day. Whereas the Thanksgiving nightcap was a rout by the San Francisco 49ers, hopefully tonight’s edition is more competitive. And with two top-offenses, we could certainly see it.
The rest of the football nation witnessed on Thanksgiving something Lions fans know all too well: Detroit’s pass rush is seriously lacking. The Lions defense did not sack Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love once. Detroit registered just four QB hits on Love’s 32 dropbacks, per the NFL’s official statistics. The lack of pressure and negative
Amon-Ra St. Brown got an unlikely defender in the fight against the Lions’ wideout’s hefty fine for a block in Detroit’s Week 11 win over the Chicago Bears. Recently retired defensive legend J.J. Watt slammed the NFL for a fine that Watt claims violates a “general rule of thumb.” The play in question saw St.
The Detroit Lions saw their NFC North divisional odds take a pretty significant dip this week after dropping their Thanksgiving Day game to the Green Bay Packers. However, they’re still 8-3 on the season and in a pretty darn good situation when it comes to the NFC Playoff picture. By the end of the week,…
For the second week in a row, the Detroit Lions didn’t play like a team battling for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. After escaping Ford Field with a victory against the Chicago Bears in Week 11, the Lions came out on the losing side of things in their Thanksgiving Day tilt with the…
This past week has been filled with Detroit Lions Football, playing the Chicago Bears on Sunday and the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving just five days later. Both games are reminiscent of each other: the Lions have large point deficits to objectively worse teams. The only difference between their performance between the Bears and the Packers was the Lions’ ability to
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was fined $43,709 for a block he threw during the team’s Week 11 game against the Chicago Bears. That is an absolutely massive fine by NFL standards—particularly for a player who doesn’t exactly have a rep of bad behavior or poor conduct. In fact, it was the largest…
The NFL levied a $43,709 fine on Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown this weekend for a block during his team’s Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears. St. Brown was fined for what was deemed an illegal block against Bears safety Jaquen Brisker in the first quarter of the Lions’ 31-26 win at
Lions wide receiver has been hit with a massive fine for unnecessary roughness in Detroit’s Week 11 win over the Chicago Bears. St. Brown was fined $43,709 for a fairly innocuous-looking block. It was the largest fine levied by the NFL on the week, more than double of any other infraction from Week 11. St.
Detroit Lions standout wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown can’t be happy with his team’s 29-22 loss against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. To make matters worse, the one-time Pro Bowler got hit with a fine just two days later for a play that happened two games ago. Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Amon-Ra
There’s no secret that the NFL has been crazy about their fines this season. Players are getting fined outrageous amounts for actions that just seem to match the punishment at all. Detroit Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was the latest to get hit by this. St. Brown got fined $43,709 dollars for this below. He’s
Of the myriad issues that plagued the Detroit Lions in their Thanksgiving loss to the Green Bay Packers, the offensive line’s substandard performance really stands out. It was an atypical bad game for everyone on the Lions line, from likely All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell to bedrock veteran left tackle Taylor Decker. The biggest hole,
This week’s Detroit Lions draft watch focuses on just one game. Actually, not just one game, it’s THE GAME: Ohio State (2) at Michigan (3) at 12:00 p.m. ET on FOX. This game is loaded with NFL prospects, some of which have already been featured in our weekly draft watchlist this season. Because of this,…
Barry Sanders has no regrets about July 27, 1999 — the day he decided to suddenly retire from the NFL after 10 seasons with the Detroit Lions. As Sanders recently explained to Robert Griffin III on the “RG3 and The Ones” podcast, he probably would have chosen a different method in letting the Lions know
Thanksgiving came and went with Lions fans wanting to forget as much of it as they can. For the team themselves, this will be a benchmark game that is reflected upon as the season goes on and how it turns out. The loss to the Packers opens up the division a little bit for rest
ESPN is bringing out the big guns for College GameDay in Ann Arbor in Week 13, on hand for Ohio State at Michigan. On Friday, it was revealed Wolverines legend and Detroit Lions star Aidan Hutchinson was returning to town for the show, ready to serve as the Celebrity Guest Picker on Saturday. “Michigan great
The Green Bay Packers beat the Detroit Lions on Thursday in convincing fashion, and they may have been partly fueled by a fake quote providing some bulletin board material. The quote, attributed to Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, made the rounds during the week prior to the game. The social media post claimed St.
The game against the Packers on Thanksgiving was one that fans would like to forget. For the team, it could either serve as a breaking point or an important lesson on the way to a playoff run. The biggest cog in the machine that is the Lions season, however, remains the rookies. Some made big
The Detroit Lions didn’t have the greatest of days on Thursday. It was probably their worst day on offense in quite a while. The defense had some struggles early before they were able to get things under control after a rough start. Lets take a look at how Pro Football Focus graded the Lions in
Of course I spend the last ten weeks shouting “brand new Lions” from the rooftops, only for the Detroit Lions to be humiliated in front of their largest audience of the year. We’ve got lots of movers this week, and it’s safe to say it’s a bear market. As a reminder, stock report is reflective
