Unsurprisingly, this week’s mailbox was filled with questions about Aidan Hutchinson and how the Detroit Lions defense will respond to his (likely) season-ending injury. So on this week’s Midweek Mailbag podcast, we tried to tackle them all in one segment, so that we could move on in the second.

The blowout victory over the Dallas Cowboys sits in the past, and the Detroit Lions are moving on to bigger and better things—like playing a Minnesota Vikings team that sits at 5-0 on the season and 1-0 in the division. Last year, the Lions clinched their first NFC North title with a win over the…

As the NFL trade deadline—dated November 5—nears, questions continue to rise about whether the Detroit Lions will be buyers in the wake of Aidan Hutchinson’s loss. We’ve already thrown our preferred additions out there, but now that trades are actually happening across the NFL, so are the rumors.

Back in Week 3, Detroit Lions punter Jack Fox won NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his ridiculous punting performance against the Arizona Cardinals.

At times, the first series of a football game can tell you a lot. Typically, teams will come out on their first offensive drive with a plan. Whether they are trying to test a specific player or portion of the defense, or they are trying to set something up for later in the game, good…

The Detroit Lions are passing their litmus tests with flying colors so far this season, taking down two NFC powerhouses in the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys.

According to his agency, Alim McNeill has agreed on a four-year extension to stay with the Detroit Lions. He becomes the second Lions player to agree to a new contract in less than a week. On Saturday night, running back David Montgomery signed a two-year, $18.25 million extension to have him signed through the 2027…

Despite the Detroit Lions emphatically blowing out the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6, not everything was a celebration in Arlington last Sunday. In victory, the Lions also suffered a huge loss when Aidan Hutchinson, the most vital player to Detroit’s pass rush, suffered a broken tibia and fibula in the third quarter.

Had it not been for one single play, the Detroit Lions’ win over the Dallas Cowboys would have unanimously put Detroit in the “best team in football” conversation. A 47-9 victory on Jerry Jones’ birthday, on FOX’s Game of the Week no less, would certainly grab that national media’s attention.

Here comes some defensive end help for the Detroit Lions. According to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Lions are planning to sign Isaiah Thomas off of the Bengals’ practice squad. Thomas was a seventh-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2022. He spent the first two years of his career there in Cleveland,…

The Detroit Lions came out of the bye week with a vengeance in their 47-9 road win against the Dallas Cowboys. They showed up to Jerry Jones’ birthday party, blew out his candles, ate his cake, and took all his presents. It was the worst home loss for the Cowboys since Jones took over as…

The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets will close out Week 6 with an AFC East battle on “Monday Night Football.” These two teams have met 127 times in their histories, with the Bills holding a 68-58 regular season edge, including winning the only time these two teams met in the playoffs.

Let’s take a detailed look at the Detroit Lions Week 6 snap counts against the Dallas Cowboys.

Many—including us—have begun to speculate which players the Detroit Lions could trade for in the wake of Aidan Hutchinson’s injury. But coach Dan Campbell said on Monday afternoon that he and general manager Brand Holmes aren’t going to rush into things, and they’re first going to look internally at their own players.

The Aidan Hutchinson injury news keeps coming in, and on Monday afternoon Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell gave the most definitive update yet. Per Campbell, Hutchinson’s injury—a fractured tibia and fibula—will take four to six months to recover from. That said, he isn’t counting out a late return from Hutchinson this season.

Last Detroit Lions game, coach Dan Campbell forgot to give quarterback Jared Goff a game ball, as he hadn’t realized Goff finished the game a perfect 18-of-18 against the Seattle Seahawks. He wasn’t going to make the same mistake this week after the Lions’ 47-9 spanking of the Dallas Cowboys.

It was a beatdown for the ages. The Detroit Lions absolutely demolished the Dallas Cowboys in their own stadium — and many people seemed to be here for it. In a whopping 47-9 smackdown, the Lions just started to have fun with it at some point, leading to some of the funniest posts. Enjoy!
