If you’re an avid gamer, you may have noticed over the past two years that the Madden NFL Football video game franchise has left the head of the Detroit Lions looking a little strange.

The 2023 Detroit Lions are slowly taking shape, and the image coming into focus is an exciting one. Growing expectations for the Lions also means more pressure on those in charge. Dan Campbell will surely look to take the next step in his head coaching career—a Coach of the Year nomination perhaps?—but his right-hand men…
Before free agency, Detroit Lions fans were fairly split on whether the team should consider drafting a quarterback early in this year’s draft. Some believed any time you can get an upgrade at quarterback, you should highly consider it—and with Jared Goff’s contract up in a couple of years, now could be an ideal time…
Our readers are familiar with the rave free agency reviews from analysts and players talking about Brad Holmes’ secondary makeover this offseason.

On Friday, the Detroit Lions lost wide receiver DJ Chark to the Carolina Panthers. With the Lions freeing up so much cap space, it was thought that maybe they would use some of that money to bring back Chark on another cheap, short-term deal. Instead, they may have opened themselves up for another need that…
Only a few months ago, Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter was considered a lock to go in the top of the draft. Prior to the trade with the Carolina Panthers, there was legitimate buzz around Carter going number one overall to the Chicago Bears. So for teams like the Detroit Lions sitting at sixth overall…
