On any given week, you can catch an incredibly passionate Penei Sewell giving an invigorating pregame speech, surrounded by teammates hanging on his every word.

The Detroit Lions enter the “easy” part of their schedule this week with the Chicago Bears coming to town.

We may only get Detroit Lions football through January—or if we’re lucky, February—but fans will have something to look forward to all offseason.

Detroit Lions fans are understandably concerned about the team’s pass defense after a tough performance against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. It’s not just about Justin Herbert lighting the Lions defense up, though. Lamar Jackson did the same a month ago, and Geno Smith did it before that.
