The Detroit Lions had the week off in Week 5, but while they were away, the Minnesota Vikings tallied yet another statement win. Forcing Aaron Rodgers to throw three interceptions in London, the Vikings took down the New York Jets and are now just one of two remaining undefeated teams. Beyond just the wins, the…

According to several sources, the New York Jets have fired head coach Robert Saleh just five weeks into the team’s 2024 season. Hired in 2021, Saleh’s record over his Jets reign was just 20-36. This year, the Jets are off to a slow 2-3 start. While that’s not exactly a disaster, many expected the Jets…

The Detroit Lions are officially out of their bye week, but before we move ahead to the Dallas Cowboys, we wanted to take one last look at the first month of the season. Detroit is 3-1, the second-best record in the division and only behind the Commanders (4-1) and Vikings (5-0) in the entire NFC.

The Detroit Lions face the Dallas Cowboys this week, and it’s nearly impossible to talk about this game from Detroit’s point of view without talking about last year’s matchup between the two teams. The game ended after Detroit attempted to go for a two-point conversion and the win, only to have their conversion called back…

The Detroit Lions follow their week of rest with a chance to get their revenge on a Dallas Cowboys team that has looked very vulnerable so far this season. The Cowboys will host the Lions in Dallas for the third straight year, where they are normally tough to beat. However, after going undefeated at home…

Back when the NFL schedule first dropped, I think a lot of people surrounding the Detroit Lions let out a collective groan. Early bye weeks, especially for those with championship aspirations like the Lions, are typically not looked at as a positive thing. However, after a 3-1 start to the season, the Lions were a…

When Detroit Lions linebacker Derrick Barnes suffered an injury in the team’s Week 3 game against the Arizona Cardinals, it wasn’t clear how long he would miss. Even when the Lions placed Barnes on injured reserve last week, there seemed like a small sliver of hope that he could return after a month or two…

According to Fox Sports reporter Greg Auman, the Detroit Lions are signing former Tampa Bay Buccaneers edge defender/outside linebacker Cam Gill to their practice squad. Gill went undrafted in 2020, but stuck with the Buccaneers for four seasons. Over the course of that time, he played in 40 games. He was primarily a special teamer…

As the bye week comes to a close, I wanted to do one final check-in. But this time, I wanted to look across the league and see how former Detroit Lions player are doing with their new teams. In primetime already, we’ve seen former Lions receiver KhaDarel Hodge snag a game-winning touchdown in overtime and…

For the third time in as many seasons, the Detroit Lions (3-1) are traveling back to Texas to take on the Dallas Cowboys (3-2). The Lions are coming off their bye week, looking to return their team to full health, while the Cowboys are coming off a comeback win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on “Sunday…

In Week 5, the “Sunday Night Football” showdown will feature a pair of historic NFL franchises when the Dallas Cowboys travel to Pennsylvania to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite their long histories, they have only played each other 33 times, with Dallas holding a 16-14 regular season lead and Pittsburgh leading 2-1 in their…

As a final reminder, you should join us at our LIVE meet-and-greet this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Bookies Bar and Grille in Detroit. You can see all the details of that here. But if you’re out of town or just unable to attend, you can always hang out with the Pride of Detroit…

I don’t particularly love the proliferation of international games. While it’s a nice gimmick and undoubtedly a treat to fans across the world, it’s also a pretty big disruption to the NFL season, and it’s costly to the local season ticket holders who lose a home game.

One month into the 2024 campaign and the Detroit Lions are 3-1, with wins over the Los Angeles Rams, Arizona Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks. The Lions have a tough schedule ahead, but it’s nice to take a break and look back to see how the team has been doing a month into the season…

It’s far too early to scoreboard watch in the NFL and talk about the impact on playoff games, but during the Detroit Lions’ bye week, we don’t really have any other choice. So we’re going to temporarily bring back our weekly Rooting Guide before we put it back into hibernation until at least November. We…

As the Detroit Lions’ bye week comes to an end after Sunday, we only have a few more opportunities to self-reflect on the first quarter of the season. Even with a bit of a slow start, the Lions are 3-1 and in good position to make the playoffs and challenge for a two-peat as NFC…

Detroit Lions legend Greg Landry has died, the Detroit Lions announced on social media Friday night. Landry was a first-round pick for the Lions back in 1968. The All-Pro quarterback would play in Detroit for the next 11 seasons, finishing his Lions career with a 40-41-3 record before moving on to short stints with the…

We’re back for another day of the SB Nation in-5 daily trivia game, and we’re returning to our system of a new article each day for the game. We tried using a single article for the game, updated with the latest game each day, but it was creating a bit of an unwieldy experience in…

We’re only four weeks into the Detroit Lions’ 2024 season, and it’s far too early to draw any sweeping conclusions about the team, the league, or any individual players. As many say, the first month of regular season football is essentially an extension of the preseason. Teams can—and probably will—look much different come December.
