In their Week 5 matchup of the 2023 season, the Detroit Lions are back at home, hosting the 0-4 Carolina Panthers at Ford Field. It hasn’t been the best start to the year for the Panthers, who are in the early stages of their own rebuild. Their new head coach, Frank Reich, is working with…
The Detroit Lions are taking on the winless Carolina Panthers in Week 5, but both teams have something to prove, though in very different ways. “This is another opponent who’s dying for a win,” coach Dan Campbell said of Carolina. “They’ve got a damn good coaching staff, they’ve got real good players and we all…
The NFL opens up Week 5 with a matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Washington Commanders on “Thursday Night Football.” These two teams have faced off against each other 52 times in their teams’ histories, with Washington winning 23 regular season games, the Bears winning 21, and one game ending in a tie. Washington…
After the Detroit Lions lost to the Seattle Seahawks 37-31 in Week 2, fans and some local writers expressed their frustrations with defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. It wasn’t just about allowing 37 points and nearly 400 yards of offense, but in Year 3 of Glenn’s defense, it was hard to point to any progress that…
In the old days, former Detroit Lions quarterback Matt Stafford was known for leading the team in fourth-quarter comebacks and game-winning drives. After having a rough start in games, the team would rally in the second half and in the fourth quarter to take the game over and win. Things have changed dramatically since then,…
Jameson Williams returned to practice this week after serving a four-game suspension for gambling, and his Detroit Lions teammates could not hide their excitement.

Both Amon-Ra and…
Through the first four games of the 2023 NFL season, the Detroit Lions sit at 3-1, alone at the top of the NFC North division. They capped off the first four games of the year with a resounding 34-20 victory over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, and just like the three games played…
There’s no bigger story in football than the red-hot start of the Detroit Lions. Full stop. After all, they’re the only variable that could possibly be responsible for the NFL’s most-watched game of the season—one that even the almighty Taylor Swift couldn’t topple. This week, after an extended break, Detroit returns home with an opportunity…
The Detroit Lions held their first practice of the week on Tuesday, something they have preferred to do following a Thursday game. That shifts their regularly scheduled players’ day off (typically Tuesday) to Wednesday. But, because NFL rules ask for teams to release their first injury report four days before their game, we get the…
Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson has picked up where he left off from his rookie season. The 2022 second overall pick finished last year as one of the most productive players in football, ranking third among edge defenders in PFF grade from Week 11 and beyond, and placing second in Defensive Rookie of the…
Revenge will be on the mind of the Detroit Lions this week as they host the Carolina Panthers. So far in revenge games this season, the Lions are 0-1 with a loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but this game appears different. While the Seahawks were a playoff team in 2022 and appear on track to…
The Detroit Lions sit alone atop the NFC North; what a beautiful sight. It’s their first time in half a decade, vying for a division title they’ve never captured. The #Lions hold sole possession of 1st place in the NFC North for the first time since Week 2 in 2017.
One of the more notable moves the Detroit Lions made this offseason was the trading of former first-round pick Jeff Okudah. After Detroit attacked the cornerback position hard in free agency, Okudah was looking like the odd player out heading into spring. So Detroit opted to trade him just three years into his Lions career…
The Detroit Lions took the field on Tuesday for their first practice of the week in preparation for the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. While the team would normally practice for the first time on a Wednesday, the Lions have now made it a habit to start a day early when they’re coming off a…

Eliminated from Pride of Detroit’s Survivor contest? Well, here’s your “second-chance” to get back in on the action. If you’re not familiar with how a Survivor contest works, each week you pick one NFL team that you are confident is going to win their game that week—and you do that in the widget at the…
A dumpster fire is currently going on for the Chicago Bears this season. Chicago isn’t just struggling in all phases; it’s more than that. So far, four games into the season, their defensive coordinator resigned, their starting quarterback has somehow regressed after showing signs of improvement in 2022, they haven’t won a game yet, and…
The NFL closes out Week 4 with a “Monday Night Football” matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
