Unfortunately for the Falcons and Commanders, they didn’t get any help today as both the Eagles and Buccaneers won their respective games.

With a Christmas doubleheader, a Thursday night game, and a Saturday tripleheader, Sunday’s slate of Week 17 games isn’t the jam-packed itinerary we’re used to seeing during a normal NFL week.

In the beginning, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell wasn’t loved around the country like he is now. In fact, after his introductory press conference, some people were already wondering if the Lions had made yet another mistake by hiring the former player. After all, he wasn’t a play-caller like so many other trendy candidates around…

As I’m sure you’re aware by now, the Detroit Lions could clinch the NFC No. 1 seed by Monday night. The scenario is simple: first, they need the Green Bay Packers to defeat the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon (4:25 p.m. ET on FOX — nationally televised). Then the Lions need to defeat the San…

The Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers face off Monday night in a game that certainly means more to Detroit. Not only will they be seeking revenge from the NFC Championship Game last year (despite their public insistence they’re looking forward), but a win could propel them to the No. 1 seed overall in the…

The Detroit Lions’ crazy trick play against the Chicago Bears—officially called the stumblebum—continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. The play may be almost a full week old at this point, but on Friday, the team dropped their mic’d up video from the game, and it captures the absolute joy from that moment.

Back in May when the schedule was announced, this game was circled by many, and with it being a “Monday Night Football” matchup it was primed to be…

As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Detroit Lions are waiving linebacker Kwon Alexander. This will be the second recently added Lions linebacker cut by the team this week.

The Detroit Lions (13-2) are headed back to Santa Clara to take on the San Francisco 49ers (6-9) in Week 17 on “Monday Night Football.” Because the Lions play on Monday this week, their normal schedule is pushed back a day.
