The Detroit Lions enter 2025 with an absolute gauntlet of a schedule. They return to what looks to once again be one of the strongest divisions in the NFL, as well as playing powerhouse teams like the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, and Philadelphia Eagles. With so many premier opponents, it’s easy to lose sight…

Blink and you miss it. With all the hype surrounding young quarterbacks, Jared Goff still stands as the presumed top dog in the NFC North. That may change at some point, but when that might be is always a question. Goff will have to deal with a new playcaller, but so so, too, will Caleb…

The Detroit Lions have announced the dates for their 2025 training camp, which are open to the public. This year, the Lions are opening a total of 10 practices to fans, with six of those practices open up to all fans, three exclusive to season ticket holders, and one being an “Invitation Only Lions Community…

We are officially in the dead period of the NFL season, which means you all have a month to get ready before training camp starts, and the smell of football is in the air. That also means the return of the Pride of Detroit roster preview! We will examine some individual players from the Detroit…

In years past, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell has been upfront about his desire to help his coaching staff progress in their respective career paths. In true Campbell fashion, he often cites how instrumental mentors like the legendary Bill Parcells was for his development and how much he learned coaching under Sean Payton in New…

The Detroit Lions offense has been the biggest reason for the franchise’s resurgence over the past three years. The team just barely missed the playoffs in 2022, riding the high of the fifth-ranked offense (26.6 points per game). The next season, Detroit moved to 12-5 thanks, again, to their fifth-ranked offense (27.1). Last year, the…

Last week, free agent defensive end Za’Darius Smith declared that he wants to re-sign with the Detroit Lions, leading many fans to get excited about finally adding to the team’s defensive end room. And while that signing could still very well happen, Lions general manager Brad Holmes made it pretty clear he’s happy with the…

Next up in our film study of the Detroit Lions’ 2025 draft class, we have right guard Tate Ratledge. Drafted 57th overall after Lions general manager Brad Holmes traded up three spots in the second round, Ratledge logged over 2,000 snaps at the University of Georgia and earned First-Team All-American honors in his final year…

Sunday is Father’s Day, and for a lot of Detroit Lions fans, it’s a holiday that is intertwined with their football fandom. While some may be new to their Detroit Lions fandom due to the recent success of the franchise, a huge portion of local fans have a family football tradition going back generations. Detroit…

As we enter Year 5 of the Brad Holmes/Dan Campbell era of the Detroit Lions, now is a good time to reflect on the past four years.

The 2025 UFL Championship Game will be played on Saturday, June 14, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and will feature the Michigan Panthers versus the Birmingham Stallions. While this event is the pinnacle of the UFL season, the league is still very young and is still working hard to gain viewership.

Still months out from the season opener, Jared Goff has yet again emerged as a dark horse candidate for the NFL’s Most Valuable Player. “If the Lions win like they did last season, Goff will almost certainly again deserve serious consideration,” writes NFLcom’s Judy Battista, who included JG on her list of potential MVP candidates…

I never thought I’d be saying this while writing about the Detroit Lions, but man, a big shoutout to Kash Doll.
