The Detroit Lions indicated all week they were not overly concerned with their playoff fate, due to the significance of the game against the Green Bay Packers. Detroit’s young roster was intent on finishing the season winning eight of its last 10 games, producing a winning record and eliminating its […]

Dan Campbell walked up the podium to the lectern for his weekly day-after-the-game news conference Monday, contorted the microphone to his liking and fidgeted with the rolled up left sleeve on his team-issued long-sleeve shirt. Six days before the biggest game of his coaching career, Campbell could hardly contain his […]

Unprepared. Uninspired. Outplayed.  On Saturday against the Carolina Panthers, the Lions were all the above in their biggest game yet of the 2022 campaign. It was an unfortunate return to the lackluster brand of football that Detroit displayed during its 1-6 start to the season, specifically on the defensive side of the […]

East Rutherford, N.J. — After starting the season 1-6, the Detroit Lions can move into the seventh and final seed in the NFC as early as next week. To do so, they’ll need three things to happen. First and foremost, the Lions must continue their winning ways. They’ll need to go […]

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff said this week he feels like he’s been playing the best football of his career. It’s hard to argue with that assessment after another terrific performance by Goff Sunday leading the Lions to a 34-23 win over Minnesota and throwing for 330 yards and three […]

The Detroit Lions came into their Week 9 matchup against the Green Bay Packers having a lot of noise to deal with.  The team moved on from defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant, and then decided to trade tight end T.J. Hockenson to the Minnesota Vikings at the deadline.  After five straight losses, the defense […]

The Detroit Lions are 1-6, and that thoroughly disqualifies them from being buyers at the NFL trade deadline—which is on Tuesday, November 1 at 4 p.m. ET. If team owner Sheila Ford was being honest when she said this was a complete teardown and rebuild, then at 1-6, they’re clearly still in […]

By Mike Payton  The Detroit Lions played really hard, but they also tried really hard at shooting themselves in the foot in their 24-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. It was one of those games where you just can’t help but want to go outside and scream at the top of your lungs like […]
