The Detroit Lions are 5-2, sitting in first place in the NFC North and tied with the San Francisco 49ers for second place in the entire conference. It’s a great start for a franchise that hasn’t won a division title in over 30 years, and a promising step for the Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes…
It was to be expected. Getting trounced 38-6 in Baltimore was bound to drop the Detroit Lions in NFL power polls after Week 7. Sure enough, the Lions did fall out of the top five with the loss. However, the fall wasn’t very far for Detroit in most polls. The 5-2 Lions remain firmly in
Week 7 proved to be an eventful weekend for the NFC North. The leaders of the division, the Detroit Lions, suffered their worst loss of the season, falling 38-6 to the Baltimore Ravens.

Not in the sense one could hope but that it may serve as a callback down the road when greener pastures are in front of them.

After watching the tape of his team getting throttled 38-6 by the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell came away with one big conclusion: that was entirely his fault. “When you step back and you look at a number of performances that were very much subpar across the board, it’s not coincidence,” Campbell said.…
Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. was not on the field for Detroit’s Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. In fact, Jones didn’t even make the trip to Maryland with the team.

Dan Campbell brought the heat the day after the Detroit Lions were embarrassed by the Baltimore Ravens, pointing the flame directly at himself. “I did not do a good job of getting them ready,” Campbell said assessing the 38-6 loss on Monday. “I didn’t have them ready. I’ve got to do a much better job
The next-day press conference following a humiliating loss is always worthy of attention. It’s where the head coach sets the tone for how the team as a whole will handle the bad outcome.

The Detroit Lions’ hype train came to a screeching halt on Sunday as they were blown out 38-6 by the Baltimore Ravens. As ugly as the loss was, coach Dan Campbell saw a rather surprising bright side. Campbell said after the game that the Lions “probably needed” a game like Sunday’s to help them refocus
There is a disturbing commonality with the Detroit Lions in their most recent losses. It’s one that has dogged defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn for his entire era in charge of the Detroit defense. Quarterbacks who can run give Glenn his Lions defense fits. [affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] There’s a difference between a running quarterback and a quarterback who
Bears Bears CB Jaylon Johnson made money signs to the cameras during a two-interception day against the Raiders and was asked if he was trying to send a message about a new contract. “You damn right,” Johnson said, via the Chicago Tribune. “100 percent. I know who I am, and I know I can play this
The Detroit Lions got beaten pretty badly on Sunday. It might have even been one of the worst beatings this team has ever taken. I spent all day Sunday being negative about this team for good reason, but I have to at least have one positive take from this game. That take is that Jahmyr
