The Detroit Lions took the field on Tuesday afternoon for their initial Week 1 practice in preparation for Sunday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. It’s a slight deviation from a typical NFL schedule. Most Tuesdays are a player’s day off with Wednesday being the first practice of the week, but it appears the…

As if Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell couldn’t be more beloved. In just three short years, he’s managed to win in an “unwinnable” city. Along the way, he’s earned a ton of fans through his genuine and affable personality, not to mention some quirky moments here and there.

The first game of the 2024 NFL season is just days away, and it’s just time to say the quiet part out loud: the Detroit Lions are one of the best teams in football and quite possibly the best. This team has Super Bowl aspirations, and just about every analyst you’ll read or hear from…

Former second-round draft pick Josh Paschal starting and playing throughout the entirety of the Detroit Lions 24-23 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2 of the NFL preseason caught a lot of eyeballs and Twitter fingers. You could argue Paschal was the second most valuable player getting snaps against the Chiefs aside from…

Our 2024 Detroit Lions preview series continues now with the defense. This year, the Lions made some monster changes on that side of the ball in the hopes of improving a unit that ranked 23rd in points allowed last year. Whether it be free agent additions like DJ Reader, drafted talent like Terrion Arnold, or…

On Monday, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell spent some time with the media to provide some injury updates. The news was mostly good, with the focus of the conversation being on safety Ifeatu Melifonwu, who is a bit of an unknown heading into Week 1. Campbell’s comments indicated that the rest of the players…

The last time the Detroit Lions faced off against the Los Angeles Rams, Ford Field broke some records. Fans, excited for the first home playoff game in 30 years, set the stadium record for noise, reaching an ear-bleeding 133.6 decibels—a mark they would actually break the following week against the Buccaneers in the Divisional Round…

It’s officially Week 1 of the 2024 NFL regular season and during Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell’s time with the media on Monday, he provided updates on the players dealing with injuries. Fortunately, the news is mostly good, as the majority of injured players are expected to play in this Sunday’s game, with only defensive…

Over the next six days, our staff will be answering key questions about the season and making predictions for what will happen.

It’s officially Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season and the Detroit Lions will face off against the Los Angeles Rams on “Sunday Night Football.” When the schedule was released back in May, the Lions opened as three-point favorites, but according to the good folks over at Fan Duel Sportsbook, there’s been a slight change…

For the third straight year, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has dropped a line of apparel with all of the proceed going to charity. But this isn’t any ordinary clothing line. No, this series of shirts, hoodies, and hats were designed with the help from children in the Fate Program. A little backstory:

Detroit Lions football is just a week away. Before you know it, Sunday night will be upon us and the Lions will be ready for another primetime bout against the Los Angeles Rams. The return of football means so many things to so many people. For me, who does this for a living, it’s a…

Seemingly every year, one Detroit Lions receiver captures the hearts of the fanbase during the dog days of August. For a while, it was now-veteran receiver Tom Kennedy’s reign. Someone would pop off in the preseason, and while it was fun to watch, most understood that the production wasn’t likely to translate to the regular…

When it comes to team building, the Detroit Lions have maintained several philosophies over the past four offseasons. Two of the most common are as follows: they’re never comfortable with where they’re at and are consistently working to improve the team, and secondly, they also strongly believe in building all three phases of football, giving…

You’re going to want to sit down for this one. We all know people in Detroit are excited about the Detroit Lions’ season—as if selling out their own preseason game (including standing room only tickets) didn’t make that obvious enough. Of course, just about every fan base is feeling extremely optimistic about their team and…

It’s been a busy few days for the Detroit Lions. On Tuesday, they narrowed their roster to 52 players, then picked up former Lions UDFA LB Trevor Nowaske off of waivers on Wednesday afternoon. By the end of Wednesday, they established their initial practice squad, adding 15 players with another (Donovan Peoples-Jones) reportedly on the…

When the Detroit Lions drafted Jameson Williams in 2022, they knew it was going to be a slow start for the former Alabama wide receiver. With a torn ACL suffered just a few months before the draft, the Lions selected him knowing most of his rookie season would be spent on the sidelines.

This question may be a bit early, but at this point, I don’t really care. The sooner it is next Sunday, the better. Don’t get me wrong, I am going to do my best to enjoy this long Labor Day weekend. If you are around the Detroit area, the Jazz festival is this weekend, and…

The Detroit Lions have established their 53-man roster (okay, it sits at 52 right now), and their 16-man practice squad (okay, it’s only at 15 as of Friday morning). With only a couple more moves to shake out before we approach Week 1, we thought it was time to fully break down the roster moves…

For the last 15 seasons, at least one undrafted rookie free agent (UDFA) has made the Detroit Lions’ initial 53-man roster, which is quite an impressive streak. Even more remarkable is that the Lions’ roster is considered deep enough to make a run at the Super Bowl, yet, there were still three UDFAs that made…
