The Minnesota Vikings are next up on the Detroit Lions’ schedule, and they are currently fighting through some adversity. They’ve lost three of their last four games, have a laundry list of injuries—particularly on their offensive line, where they’ve been missing both starting tackles and their starting center for much of the season.

The NFC playoff pictures is becoming more and more clear. Week 8, in particular, seemed to separate the contenders from the pretenders, and for a team like the Detroit Lions—who were on their bye week—it was a productive set of games. Not only did two of three division foes lose, but one of the top…
It’s been a pretty darn good Sunday for the Detroit Lions. Not only are the players resting up and healing from their injuries prior to their Week 9 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. But as they watched the action from home, they saw some NFC contenders fall to their opponents—creating some room for the Lions…
The Detroit Lions (5-2) and Minnesota Vikings (3-4) will square off in Week 9, with both teams coming off extended breaks. The Lions are riding high after a Week 7 win on “Monday Night Football,” convincingly taking down a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that was previously sitting atop the NFC. Meanwhile, the Vikings are limping…
While I’m sure we all miss Detroit Lions football, there is something beautifully peaceful about the bye week. Whether you’re out there enjoying the last few days of good weather or sitting at home for 10 straight hours of football, the weekend feels a little lighter without the added stress and anxiety that comes with…
Let’s continue our look back at the Detroit Lions’ first seven weeks of the 2025 NFL season. At the beginning of the season, there were plenty of expectations for the Lions. Despite the change in coordinators, most expected the Lions to maintain a top-five offense due to their overwhelming amount of talent. Breakout years were…
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White received the highest fine of Week 8 for a play against the Detroit Lions on Monday night. White was fined $46,371 for unnecessary roughness, illegal use of the helmet against Lions safety Erick Hallett. There was no penalty called on the play, but the replay shows a clear…
As for our weekly survey, things have risen back to pre-season expectations. This year, we’ve seen a few dips in confidence following the Lions’ two losses. But after a convincing win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7—with the “Legion of Whom” dominating in the secondary—confidence has climbed to 98%, the second-highest mark of…
We’re pretty close to the halfway point in the 2025 NFL season, and your Detroit Lions are pretty close to expectations at their Week 8 bye. For example, way back in May, Erik Schlitt and I made 2025 Lions game-by-game predictions right after the schedule came out. Both of us had the Lions at 5-2…
Before the 2025 NFL season got underway, there was a lot of chatter about how difficult the Detroit Lions’ schedule looked. At least on paper and before any real football had been played, it appeared daunting. However, as we know, things can change fast in the NFL, and while some of the games to come…
With the Detroit Lions on break this week, we felt it was as good a time as any to check in on some former Lions who are playing elsewhere. The purpose of this is to check in on some players we were fans of last year, and also to determine if Detroit made the right…
In the story that refuses to completely die, the NFL tried to provide a little more clarity on the operation of a ruling during the Detroit Lions’ Week 6 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The controversy in question has less to do about the call on the field and more to do with whether…
The Detroit Lions are on their bye week, but I’m sure many of the players will be locked in to “Thursday Night Football” from home. That’s because the Lions face off against the Minnesota Vikings next week, their first game against their NFC North foe. Why not do a little early scouting for a big…
The Detroit Lions’ secondary was the story of the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With starting cornerbacks D.J. Reed and Terrion Arnold sidelined, along with starting safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph also out, not many give Detroit’s “no-named” defensive backs much of a chance to stop Baker Mayfield and the Bucs offense—that had…
