When we last checked in with Detroit Lions fans about their thoughts on general manager Brad Holmes, the team was mid-plunge. At the time, they were just 1-3—little did we know three more losses were around the corner—and people were already starting to feel a little restless. Offensively, the team was absolutely steamrolling opponents, leading

Here’s the most difficult part of being objective when it comes to this Detroit Lions football team: I’ve been a fan of this team ever since Thanksgiving Day 1997. The Detroit Lions helped define some of my fondest memories of the holiday season, and it all started with Barry Sanders and the Lions ambushing the

We opened the college football season by taking a look at the top 25 quarterbacks to watch in 2022, so as the regular season comes to a close (November 26), it’s time to revisit the quarterback class and look at some of the potential top prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft class. If you missed

Recaps for games like this one usually start with something along the lines of “I’m not one for moral victories, but…” Well, that being said, I’m not one for moral victories, but what a team effort by the Detroit Lions. That leaves you about as good as you can feel after a loss, and for

The Detroit Lions went toe-to-toe with a Super Bowl contender in their Thanksgiving Day matchup, the Buffalo Bills. It took all four quarters for the Bills to hold off an inspired performance from the Lions, and even though Jay told us “moral victories is for minor league coaches,” it doesn’t feel like a loss this

Detroit Lions cornerback Jerry Jacobs has given the team’s secondary a necessary shot in the arm with his physicality and tenacity. However, on Thursday against the Buffalo Bills, Jacobs left the game late after coming up a little groggy in the fourth quarter. “I know he felt a little light-headed, so we’re not sure,” coach

Here is a closer look at the Detroit Lions’ snap counts from their Week 12 matchup with the Buffalo Bills, along with some thoughts on what it may mean going forward. Offense Quarterbacks Jared Goff: 71 (100% of offensive snaps) Running backs Jamaal Williams: 30 (42%)D’Andre Swift: 24 (34%)Justin Jackson: 18 (25%) — 17 special

Whenever an NFL team can’t close out a tight game, two people are put under the microscope: the quarterback and the head coach. The Detroit Lions’ 28-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving is a perfect example of that, as one bad pass and a couple of… interesting coaching decisions have dominated the narrative

The Detroit Lions let a heartbreaker slip through their fingers against the Buffalo Bills. They went toe-to-toe with the NFL’s best, but just couldn’t come up with the necessary play or two to close out the win. It certainly feels like a gut punch when a win would’ve meant so much to the team and

On the Detroit Lions’ final offensive drive of their 28-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson dialed up a deep shot on third-and-1 from the Bills’ 33-yard line with 32 seconds left. Lions quarterback Jared Goff found DJ Chark in one-on-one coverage, but Chark couldn’t find the ball and it fell incomplete.

The Detroit Lions lost a tough one to the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving, falling 28-25 in a game they had a chance to win with less than a minute left. It’s always tough to find the bright spots in a loss, but there were a couple of standout players in this game that deserves some

This one has to be a game of the year candidate for sure. The Detroit Lions did everything they could to try to win this game, but at the end of the day, they lost 28-25 on a last-second field goal. You have to come away proud of the Lions in this one. They gave

Let’s make this one quick. You got turkey to destroy, we got football to break down. We’re here to talk about the Detroit Lions and the Buffalo Bills, definitely not that awful halftime show (no really, what was that? A cover of “Blue”?) The Lions held one of the best teams in the NFL for

The Detroit Lions gave the Buffalo Bills everything they could. They even scored the game-tying drive with 23 seconds left to push for overtime. However, quarterback Josh Allen was able to use those few seconds to quickly drive the Bills down field with a 39-yard strike to Stefon Diggs. A few plays later, the Bills

Thanksgiving and the Detroit Lions. They go together just like the mashed potatoes and gravy. And no matter how much people bellyache on Twitter, that’s not going anywhere. And this year, people may actually be thankful the Lions are on their television screens. Dan Campbell has this team in the midst of a three-game winning

The mantra of Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell this season has been, “The most important game is the next one.” While that is a pretty standard coachspeak line, it rings especially true this week. Not only are the Lions on their annual national stage for the Thanksgiving Day Classic, but they’re in the middle of

The Detroit Lions have declared their inactives ahead of their Thanksgiving Day Week 12 matchup with the Buffalo Bills and the wide receiver Josh Reynolds will play. This is the first time since Week 3 that the Lions starting trio of wide receivers are all available for a game. The only roster moves this week

Last week, we opened up our weekly Detroit Lions Rooting Guide, acknowledging that any hopes of a Lions postseason was a complete longshot. However, after Detroit pulled off a road upset over the New York Giants, suddenly it doesn’t feel all that ridiculous to talk about the postseason in Detroit. Football Outsiders has the Lions’

The Detroit Lions have had a successful November. After entering November with a strong grip on the number one overall pick, they enter its final week with their eyes on a Wild Card playoff spot instead. A turnaround from the defense sparked by returns from injury and favorable matchups have this team looking like it
