A team is only as good as its weakest link. The Detroit Lions learned that the hard way in 2024, when their depth was severely tested across multiple positions.

This week at a youth camp, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs opened up about a brand-new role on offense that the team has hinted about from the moment they drafted him in 2023. It sounds like Year 3 may finally be the year where the Lions expand upon his role in the backfield to…

With Dan Campbell, it may be tough to remember the days the Detroit Lions didn’t have it so good. No worries, CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin did it for you as he names his top 25 worst NFL coaching hires this century.
