The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants will kick off Week 4 on “Thursday Night Football” in a battle between NFC East rivals. These teams have faced off 124 times over their histories (including the playoffs), with the Cowboys holding a 75-47-2 edge, including winning eight of the last nine times they faced off in…

The Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks will face off on “Monday Night Football” in Week 4, and with that privilege comes a slight alteration to the teams’ weekly schedules. Instead of releasing an injury report on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, things get pushed back a day, meaning the first official injury report will be out…

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell made it loud and clear on Thursday morning: All-Pro center Frank Ragnow will not play this week against the Seattle Seahawks. “We’re going to put Frank down this week,” Campbell said. “So I’ll go ahead and get that out of the way. We can go round and round if we…

Another workweek, another week of NFL football. Here at Pride of Detroit, our staff has made their picks for not only Thursday night’s game, but the entire slate of Week 4 games. Thursday night’s game between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants gets things started this week, as East Rutherford is the site for…

In a way, I feel the same way about the Seattle Seahawks as I do about the Detroit Lions’ annual Thanksgiving Day game—we, as in the city of Detroit and fans of the Lions, are due. If it feels like the Seahawks have been the culprits of many tough afternoons of football, it’s because they…

These Detroit Lions aren’t the old Lions anymore, correct? The ones who would lose games in ways people haven’t seen before and a laughing stock around the NFL. The Lions have come a long way from being the loveable losers to being a Super Bowl contender, but one thing has been standing in their way…

Last week against the Arizona Cardinals, the Detroit Lions coverage team was at their best. Kyler Murray, who was coming off a performance that included a perfect passer rating against the Los Angeles Rams, was stymied almost completely. He completed just 61.7% of his passes for only 6.1 yards per attempt and a 76.5 passer…

Detroit Lions punter Jack Fox has been named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after his dominant performance against the Arizona Cardinals. On Sunday, Fox pinned three of his five punts inside the 10-yard line, one additional punt inside the 20-yard line, and that last punt? Oh, just a 68-yard blast that went…

The Detroit Lions got back in the winner’s circle in Week 3, cooling off a red-hot Arizona Cardinals’ offense in the desert, 20-13. As we’ll do every week throughout the season for this Lions team, we have some data we can comb through courtesy of Pro Football Focus that better helps us understand the football…

For a second, I thought we had seen the end of the “Calls of the Game” feature the Detroit Lions would drop after every victory. However, the series made its triumphant return this week after Detroit’s big 20-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals, and it’s a great one.

The Detroit Lions are a very different team than they were last year. The offense is built different, the defense is suddenly their anchor, and a lot of guys are filling roles differently than how we could have imagined to start the season. It’s certainly still early, but a lot of players who we expected…

The Detroit Lions return home to another primetime game after getting another tick in the win column last week against the Arizona Cardinals. This time, it will be on “Monday Night Football” and against a team that Detroit hasn’t beaten since 2012, the Seattle Seahawks. To make things even more of a challenge, Seattle is…

On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions made a handful of roster moves, mostly transactions that were expected. First, the Lions placed both linebacker Derrick Barnes and defensive end Marcus Davenport on injured reserve. Davenport’s season is expected to be done, after suffering a reported tricep tear. It is unclear how much time Barnes, who suffered a…

In this week’s power rankings roundup, the Detroit Lions got back to their winning ways and moved up in the majority of analysts’ minds. But early season NFL can be challenging to predict. Good teams can struggle, while bad teams can thrive, and water has yet to find its level.

The Detroit Lions pulled off the most exciting play of Week 3 with this hook-and-ladder from Amon-Ra St. Brown to Jahmyr Gibbs. Because of the inherent danger of a trick play like this, they are carefully crafted and repeatedly practiced to make sure every little detail is executed to perfection. The Lions pulled it off…

On Monday afternoon, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell addressed the media and provided updates on a laundry list of players, including Marcus Davenport, Derrick Barnes, Sam LaPorta, and Brian Branch, among others. What we didn’t know at the time was that Lions All-Pro center Frank Ragnow was also reportedly dealing with a partially-torn pectoral, so…

Coach Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions don’t lose back-to-back games. The team learned from some of their mistakes in the Buccaneers game in Week 2 and were an improved team, beating the Arizona Cardinals 20-13. This game epitomized how gritty this team is. After winning, despite not scoring in the second half, there were…

The Detroit Lions secured a massive victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, but it came with a heavy price. The team suffered several injuries throughout the game, but one name that wasn’t on that list at the time was defensive end Marcus Davenport, who suffered an elbow injury during the game on Sunday and…

The bad news keeps coming for the Detroit Lions when it comes to injuries. After coach Dan Campbell revealed that defensive end Marcus Davenport is likely out for the year, and linebacker Derrick Barnes is expected to miss significant time, a new report from NFL Network suggests All-Pro center Frank Ragnow is considered week-to-week with…

Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season comes to a close with a “Monday Night Football” doubleheader, featuring the Jacksonville Jaguars at Buffalo Bills, and the Washington Commanders at Cincinnati Bengals. Both games will be shown on an ABC/ESPN affiliate, with the first game starting 45 minutes ahead of the second, in an effort for…
