The Detroit Lions are 1-0 on the season and headed toward a revenge matchup with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2 at Ford Field. On Tuesday, we polled Lions fans, asking them two questions: With regards to the first survey question, the results are in, and as expected, fans’ confidence in the direction of the…

In his Philadelphia Eagles debut last week, former Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift barely made an impact. In 19 snaps, Swift saw just a single carry for 3 yards and a catch for 0 yards. But in Week 2, with Eagles starting running back Kenneth Gainwell out with an injury, Swift had arguably the…

The Detroit Lions took the practice field again on Thursday, and they were missing the same three players from Tuesday’s practice. Coach Dan Campbell did not speak with the media, so we did not get any injury updates, but a second missed practice after an extended layoff from Week 1 is somewhat concerning.

After a huge road win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, the Detroit Lions are headed home to what will be an absolutely raucous crowd at Ford Field for their Week 2 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. With their sights set on getting revenge after last year’s shootout loss, the Lions have an…

When the Detroit Lions signed David Montgomery in free agency, our fearless leader Jeremy Reisman declared the 2019 third-round pick to be “an upgrade. Full stop.” The main thing pointed out about Montgomery was his ability to break tackles, but our friends at Windy City Gridiron described the former Bear as “one of the more…

According to a report from our friends at Turf Show Times, former Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will be featured in season 2 of the Netflix documentary series “Quarterback.” If you’re unfamiliar, the show follows NFL quarterbacks throughout the entire season, detailing their preparation throughout the week, how the play on game day, and their…

On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions unveiled all the new food and drink offerings for the 2023 season at Ford Field. Given that Sunday is the team’s home opener—and a highly-anticipated one, at that—the timing was perfect to share with Lions fans what they can expect of their gameday experience.

Coming off a big win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, the Detroit Lions now focus on an NFC opponent in the Seattle Seahawks. Last season they met at Ford Field in a shootout, with the Seahawks winning 48-45. This year the Lions would be looking for revenge against the Seahawks for the…

Detroit Lions rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs carried the ball just seven times in his NFL debut against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, he made quite an impact in those seven rushes. According to PFF, Gibbs forced six missed tackles on those seven plays. If that ratio didn’t already seem impressive enough, those six missed…

Earlier this offseason, the Detroit Lions announced that for the first time in Ford Field history, they have sold out all of their available season tickets. On Tuesday, the Lions made another announcement, this time informing the public that they are releasing a limited supply of standing room only tickets for their upcoming Week 2…

Detroit Lions nickel cornerback Brian Branch has been nominated for the Week 1 Pepsi Rookie of the Week. Branch was responsible for completely shifting Thursday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. With the Chiefs up 14-7 and threatening to add to their lead, Branch picked off a pass from Patrick Mahomes that glanced through Kadarius…

With the Chiefs in the rearview, the Detroit Lions may have gotten the toughest opponent on their schedule out of the way in Week 1, escaping with a road win. We saw a lot of upsets in the first week, which can be normal because Week 1 is always unpredictable. It’s tough to know how…

For Detroit Lions rookie defensive back Brain Branch, it’s hard to imagine a better start to his NFL career. On a national stage for the NFL kickoff game, Branch made a game-shifting play, picking off future Hall of Famer Patrick Mahomes and returning it for a touchdown to tie the game early in the third…

On Monday night, the unthinkable happened for the New York Jets. On the Jets’ fourth offensive play from scrimmage, quarterback Aaron Rodgers—the player New York invested heavily in to push them into a Super Bowl contender—suffered what is feared to be a torn Achilles. If MRI tests on Tuesday confirm the diagnosis, Rodgers will miss…

Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow had been dealing with a nasty toe injury for the last two years, and it’s something he’ll likely have to deal with for the rest of his career. On Monday, he admitted the plan was to continue to take veteran rests off of practice for himself and called the condition…

The Detroit Lions have begun preparations for their home opener against the Seattle Seahawks, and the excitement is palpable around the city. So much so that coach Dan Campbell said on Monday that he expects it to be louder than it was at Arrowhead Stadium last week during the season opener.

If there was ever a year to tailgate full out for a Detroit Lions home game, this very well may be it. The squad is red-hot right now, especially coming off a primetime win against the defending Super Bowl champions, plus season tickets are sold out — there is sure to be a ton of…

It’s easy to forget just how many players the Detroit Lions parted ways with this offseason. Even though the team finished the 2022 season extremely strong, general manager Brad Holmes did not use the 2023 offseason to sit on his hands and expect everything to just pick up where it left off. No, he attempted…

The Detroit Lions (1-0) are riding high after knocking off the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs 21-20 in Week 1 of the regular season. But as they enter Week 2, they likely have revenge on their minds as they prepare to host the Seattle Seahawks (0-1) at Ford Field on Sunday afternoon (1…

The Detroit Lions kicked off the NFL season with a win over the Kansas City Chiefs, making one hell of a first impression for 2023. On Sunday, the rest of the NFC North had their chance, and it’s fair to say each of them made an impression—just not maybe the one they would have liked.
