The Detroit Lions have quickly become one of the best teams in the NFL. So it feels a little weird when you complain about someone saying something bad about them these days.

Coming off a close loss in the NFC Championship Game, the Detroit Lions nearly reached the pinnacle of the NFL. The latest preseason power ranking poll from Pro Football Talk reflects that lofty accomplishment form last season. The Lions sit at No. 3 in the latest PFT power rankings, behind only the two Super Bowl
One of the hallmarks of the Ben Johnson offense in Detroit is the quick passing game. Whether it’s hitting Amon-Ra St. Brown on a quick slant, Sam LaPorta on a short out or Jahmyr Gibbs on a fast Texas route, the Lions are very adept at attacking the pass defense quickly. The quick passing game
Just recently, former NFL running back Barry Sanders was given another chance to live after surviving a big health scare. This prompted the Detroit Lions to send an encouraging message to one of their former players in his time of testing. Drafted 3rd overall by the Detroit Lions in 1989, Sanders immediately made an impact,
My worlds are converging again. The Detroit Lions and the WWE that is. They’re about to go head to head in a way. Lions’ edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson and golf great Ricky Fowler will go head to head with one half of the world tag tram champions The Miz and his teammate at the Area
We all know the Detroit Lions have a solid offensive line. It was a huge reason for their success last year, and it’s why they aren’t expected to regress this year. Yes, they let Jonah Jackson walk in free agency, but the timely acquisition of Kevin Zeitler in free agency helped fill that roster vacancy…
Year 2 is always an important season for players looking to take their games to another level and that couldn’t be closer to the truth for Lions second-year cornerback Brian Branch. Detroit’s second-round pick from a year ago made an immediate impact as a rookie, registering 74 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, three interceptions,
It wasn’t long ago when linebacker Shaquille Leonard was one of the best defensive players in the entire NFL. He won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award in 2018 and then followed that up with four All-Pro seasons for the Colts. Then a concussion and back surgery in 2022 ended that elite run. Leonard
Bears While first-round QB Caleb Williams has been impressive in the early stages of offseason practices, Bears HC Matt Eberflus specifically mentioned snap cadence as something he wants to see Williams improve. “I thought today was his best day with [the cadence], actually,” Eberflus said, via ESPN’s Courtney Cronin. “In the huddle, he was crisp
There’s been a really interesting discourse about Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes on social media since the day that the team hired him. There’s some playing on both sides of the fence. On one side there’s this idea that we know exactly what Holmes is going to do at all times. He’s a fiscally conservative guy
When the Detroit Lions training camp opens on July 20th, veteran players might notice a different atmosphere. After coming off an outstanding season that saw the team advance within one game of the Super Bowl, there is a palpable sense that, at long last, this team is destined for greatness. Training camp could be the
Some of the best stories that emerge from the NFL are players that went undrafted and carve themselves a serious role for a team. That is the case for Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond. He went undrafted in 2016 to the Denver Broncos and bounced around from the New York Jets, New York Giants
The Detroit Lions are all about getting their guys and then paying their guys. We saw that big time this offseason with massive extensions for Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Penei Sewell. It’s probably safe to assume that more deals are coming for players and that the team will look to sign some more
Quietly, the Detroit Lions still have a roster spot open on the 90-man roster. While there is no requirement for the Lions to carry a full roster to training camp, there’s little reason for Detroit to pass on the opportunity to fill the entire roster. Salary cap space is not an issue, so why not…
