The Detroit Lions are back home in Week 8 taking on the Las Vegas Raiders on “Monday Night Football” at Ford Field. Despite the Lions (5-2) struggling on the road in Baltimore in Week 7, the Raiders (3-4) loss to the lowly Bears was also equally unimpressive, and that has led to the folks over…

Sadly the Detroit Lions did not play football this week (trust me, please do not look up the scores, I beg you), so we will instead have to be entertained by some prime time football. With the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins duking it out on “Sunday Night Football,” there should be no shortage of…
The Detroit Lions bad day got even worse early in the second half. Mohamed Ibrahim, signed just this week to the practice squad, caught a kickoff midway through the third quarter, but took a big shot to the midsection on the return. He would eventually have to be carted off.
Heading into the game today, the Detroit Lions had one of their toughest tests of the season, going on the road again, this time to play the Baltimore Ravens. After defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road last week, Detroit was getting recognized by the media, and getting called a top-five team—some even believed…
Up until Sunday, the 2023 Detroit Lions met every single challenge they faced. At 5-1, they truly looked like one of the best teams in the league. But facing a tough Baltimore Ravens team on the road, Detroit looked like one of the worst teams. Baltimore’s offense scored touchdowns on all four of their first…
The Detroit Lions are suddenly a team with pretty darn high expectations for the 2023 season. At 5-1, they sit comfortably atop the NFC North and have a share of the lead in the entire conference. But if they want this season to be truly special—with success deep into January—they’re going to have to take…
The 5-1 Detroit Lions are first in the NFC North, tied for first in the NFC, and tied for first in the entire NFL. Sure, it’s only Week 7, but things are looking pretty dang good for the fellas in Honolulu Blue, and that means it’s time to start thinking about some big goals for…
The national praise for the Lions continues to roll in, both for the team overall and for quarterback Jared Goff. This week, FTN Network’s Aaron Schatz was a guest on the Pump Fake Podcast hosted by USA Today’s Jarrett Bailey. During Friday’s Week 7 preview episode, the two spent about four and a half minutes…
It’s been a weird few weeks for Michigan universities and now it all collides on Saturday. Michigan and Michigan State, hate week, things of that nature. Neither university is looking very clean, although I suppose on the field it’s hard to deny the wins that the Wolverines have stacked so far in the season. They’re…
The Detroit Lions are getting some much needed help with a few key players returning from injury as they prepare for a tough road matchup against the 4-2 Baltimore Ravens. Safety Brian Branch and running back Jahmyr Gibbs will be ready to go as they both aren’t carrying any injury designation, while it appears that…
Week 7 opened with the Jacksonville Jaguars and New Orleans Saints in what looked like it was going to be a blowout, but turned into an interesting fourth quarter. Entering the final 15 minutes of the game, the Jaguars held a 24-9 lead, but two long Saints drives resulted in two touchdowns (and a two-point…
Not only are the Detroit Lions one of the best teams in the NFL through six weeks with a record of 5-1, but they are also one of the hottest teams. Through the last four weeks, the Lions have won each game by two scores or more, and have cemented themselves in the discussion as…
Last week, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown said on our PODcast that his alma mater USC was going to give it to Notre Dame this year. Unfortunately for St. Brown, that’s not exactly how things went down. The Trojans not only lost to the Fighting Irish, but USC got waxed to the tune…
The Detroit Lions (5-1) were back on the practice field on Thursday, after scaling things back the day prior and only holding a walkthrough. Because yesterday’s participation levels were estimates, today’s report will give a stronger indicator of where players are at, heading into their Week 7 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens (4-2).
For the second week in a row, the Detroit Lions are on the road to face yet another division leader; this time, it’s the Baltimore Ravens, the first-place team in the AFC North. Baltimore is getting it done with defense this season, but with the return of Lamar Jackson playing like the MVP he once…
With the Baltimore Ravens on the clock, a particularly gruesome memory has resurfaced in Detroit Lions lore. The year is 2021. The month, September. It’s Week 3, and the Lions are up 17-16 against the Ravens at Ford Field, hoping for their first win of the season. With just three seconds on the clock, third-and-10…
The Detroit Lions’ win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday was all about the big plays. Detroit’s defense came up with a couple of huge ones to keep the Bucs out of the end zone for the entire day, and the offense seemed to produce splash play after splash play when they really needed…
Before their Week 6 matchup with the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers’ wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk got into a scuffle with Browns’ safety Juan Thornhill. It started with Aiyuk and Thornhill getting in each other’s faces, with Samuel racing up and bumping Thornhill back. Browns’ safety D’Anthony Bell pushes Samuel, and Niners’…
The Detroit Lions (5-1) held their opening practice of the week on Wednesday, as they prepare to take on the AFC North-leading Baltimore Ravens (4-2). Because of the Lions difficult run of physical games, they decided to scale things back on Wednesday and only hold a walkthrough instead of a full practice.
The national accolades continue for the Detroit Lions. With a 5-1 record to start the 2023 season, the Lions are tied for the best record in the NFL. They’ve won four straight games by a minimum two-touchdown winning margin and are ranked as high as No. 2 in this week’s power rankings.
