As NFL analysts begin to make their predictions for the 2025 NFL season, you can already sense some skepticism about the Detroit Lions. While even the most jaded talking head will admit that the Lions roster remains one of the best in the NFL, the biggest source of doubt comes from the change at both…

On Wednesday, the Detroit Lions announced that they had signed 2025 first-round pick Tyleik Williams to his rookie contract. That puts six of the Lions’ seven draft picks now under contract. The lone exception is second-round pick Tate Ratledge. As a reminder, second-round picks typically take the longest to sign their first NFL contract because…

On Wednesday, the tush push ban died a calamitous death. After months and months and months of debate, the NFL did not get the votes they needed to ban the controversial play. While the majority of team owners wanted the play out of the game, the league requires two-thirds votes to pass new bylaws, and…

On Wednesday, the NFL opted not to ban the tush push. The proposal, initially submitted by the Green Bay Packers, was aimed to disallow the play made popular by the Philadelphia Eagles in which quarterback Jalen Hurts would run a quarterback sneak in a short-yardage situation and have a player or two (typically from the…

The face of the Detroit Lions for the past four years has been head coach Dan Campbell. Typically, being the face of this organization means being the target of constant criticism, and while Campbell has received a fair share, he has seemed to accomplish the impossible: becoming a universally-loved Detroit Lions head coach.

The Detroit Lions have withdrawn their proposal to revise NFL playoff seeding rules, which aimed to prioritize regular-season records over division titles to determine playoff positions. This initiative sought to address scenarios like the 2024 season, where the 14-3 Minnesota Vikings, despite their strong record, were seeded fifth and had to play on the road,…

The year is 2028 and our beloved Detroit Lions are coming off their NFL-record third straight Super Bowl victory. They’ve conquered tackle football and now have their sights on flag football, Los Angeles, and the 2028 Summer Olympics. Team USA has decided to relinquish their roster spots to “America’s New Team,” the Lions. But with…

On Tuesday, the NFL passed a bylaw permitting league players to participate in the 2028 Summer Olympics in an event new to the Olympics: flag football. Per the resolution—which passed unanimously—each team can send a maximum of one player per country to play in the Olympics. The National Olympic Committee is allowing teams to be…

The Detroit Lions 2025 schedule is set in stone, and that means it’s time to dive into game-by-game predictions. We can always do that before the schedule’s out, but it’s hit or miss. Playing in Lambeau in Week 1 and Week 18 are two very different situations with potentially opposite outcomes. Let’s take a look…

Every now and then, I see nonsense about the Detroit Lions’ Super Bowl window closing. And while it’s true that general manager Brad Holmes’ job will get more difficult with less draft capital and more costly contracts to balance, it bears repeating just how good and young the core of the Lions’ personnel is.

When the Detroit Lions opened rookie minicamp a couple weeks back, they also announced the signing of four of their 2025 NFL Draft picks: fifth-round pick Myles Frazier, sixth-round pick Ahmed Hassanein, and both seventh-round picks Dan Jackson and Dominic Lovett. Now it appears you can add one more player to the list.

It’s already been well established that the Detroit Lions’ 2025 schedule is one of the most difficult slate of games in the league. But that also means it may be one of the most entertaining. With premier matchups against both NFC and AFC contenders, there will rarely be a dull moment throughout Detroit’s 17-game campaign.

The competition for NFC North champions may be heating up for the Detroit Lions as their rivals attempt to get their ducks in a row. Despite winning back-to-back titles, losing back-to-back playoff games has many wondering if the Lions’ time in the spotlight as monsters on the gridiron has fizzled out, including NFL.com’s Judy Battista.

When the Detroit Lions and Aaron Glenn brought Alex Anzalone over from New Orleans as a low-risk veteran addition early in the rebuild, I never imagined I’d one day be advocating for his fourth contract in Detroit. That speaks volumes about both the player and the organization—and what they’ve become together.

With the Detroit Lions looking towards a new offensive coordinator, there’s always room for more to step up. Wide receiver Jameson Williams took big steps in 2024, but with new coordinator John Morton singing his praises, there’s a lot to like about the pair. Morton always liked to take the top off defenses, but largely…

This offseason, the Detroit Lions’ coaching staff was picked apart by other teams, but one critical coach opted to stay with the team despite opportunities elsewhere. Lions offensive line coach Hank Fraley interviewed several times for the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator job, but ultimately returned to Detroit—and got a nice little promotion along the way…

With the 2025 NFL schedule now official and the Detroit Lions’ slate set, it’s a good time to revisit key offseason moves made by their upcoming opponents. While the NFC North rivals have been under the microscope all offseason, what about the rest? This primer breaks down some of the smartest—and most questionable—decisions made by…

The Detroit Lions’ 2025 schedule is out, and earlier this week we asked which road game would be the best to attend. The road schedule is pretty gnarly, in every definition of that road. Not only do Lions fans have he opportunity to see some iconic stadiums like Arrowhead or The Linc, but there are…

Hidden within the Detroit Lions 2025 schedule drop was the announcement of the team’s four preseason opponents. We already knew the Lions would open all of the NFL’s preseason schedule with the Hall of Fame Game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, July 31. However, now we know the other three opponents for the…

Since Wednesday, we have highlighted a lot of good things about the Detroit Lions’ 2025 schedule. I shared the six things I love. John Whiticar noted that the Lions are getting an advantage when it comes to the bye week. There was a hidden benefit when it comes to travel, and while the strength of…
