Later on Saturday, the Detroit Lions are expected to elevate a player or two from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, but according to a report from ESPN, newly-acquired tight end Zach Ertz will not be one of them.

Justin Rogers from the Detroit News wrote up a nice feature on the Detroit Lions’ equipment manager Tim O’Neill, who has been with the team for 22 years. During the media session on Thursday, head coach Dan Campbell relayed the advice he got from NFL legend Bill Parcells upon winning in the Divisional Round to…
The Detroit Lions head to San Francisco for a shot at the Super Bowl against the 49ers. As larger than touchdown underdogs, the Lions are going to have to take advantage of every bit of leverage they have over the NFC’s top seed. The 49ers have a complete roster and have been considered favorites to…
Earlier this week, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell spoke about how much it has meant to him to try and prove owner Sheila Hamp right. Just over three years ago, Hamp hand-selected Campbell for the Lions head coach job, despite the fact that he was not among the most popular candidates that coaching cycle.

The San Francisco 49ers have been a powerhouse in the NFC since 2019. They have made four out of the last five NFC Championship games and have a chance to pick up their second trip to the Super Bowl during that span if they win on Sunday. Much has been said about the 49ers’ ability…

Are the Detroit Lions the new America’s Team? It’s probably too early to declare that, but they are verifiably the most popular team remaining in the NFL Playoffs. This week, we polled fans from across the entire SB Nation platform, and asked the fans of various teams: who are you rooting for to win the…
The Detroit Lions are a game away from their first-ever Super Bowl appearance, but a behemoth stands in their way. The San Francisco 49ers have been the favorites in the NFC all season, and it isn’t a tough argument to say they have the most complete roster in football.
Detroit Lions fans are bursting at the seams for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game, and they’re starting to invade every single space of Detroit culture. On Thursday night during the Detroit Red Wings’ 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers, Lions fans took over Little Caesars Arena in the final minutes of the game. As captured by…
The Atlanta Falcons have reportedly agreed to hire Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris as their new coach, leaving just two head coaching jobs—the Commanders and Seahawks—available.

In a sport that’s equally about the game as it is about storylines, the Detroit Lions are living out one of the biggest ones in football — the scrappy underdog. It’s not a term that’s been used to describe Detroit much this season, but historically it’s how this team is known. Shoot, not just as…
