Not much went right in the Detroit Lions’ season opener against the Green Bay Packers. It took an outrageously impressive catch from Isaac TeSlaa in the final minutes for the offense to finally find the end zone. The defense gave up 17 points on the opening three drives. Special teams produced more flags than impressive…
This week, Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson is back in town, and many around Detroit are wondering if the former Detroit Lions coordinator may have any trick plays up his sleeve for his former team. Lions coach Dan Campbell, who has spent the last four years alongside Johnson, doesn’t seem particularly worried about the potential…
While the Detroit Lions’ offense was having their own issues moving the ball downfield to open the game against the Green Bay Packers, the team’s defense had enough problems of their own. Early in the game, Detroit was stuffing the Packers’ run game, setting up favorable down-and-distances. But their failure on four consecutive third downs—highlighted…
A wise man once said, “Sometimes it just ain’t your day.” That was the case for the Detroit Lions during their Week 1 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t all bad. There were things to like on the defensive side of the football, and even the offense, despite all…
Coming off a difficult loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, the Detroit Lions hope to bounce back at home to take on the Chicago Bears. Last week was a stinker, one of the worst losses the Lions have had under head coach Dan Campbell. While the score ended up being 27-13, it…
On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions announced the addition of two new practice squad players and the cutting of another. As previously reported, the Lions have signed offensive tackle Devin Cochran to the practice squad. Cochran, who stands at 6-foot-7, 330 pounds, helps round out Detroit’s offensive tackle depth after veteran Jamarco Jones suffered a season-ending…
The NFC North Week 1 matchups continue on Monday night with the Minnesota Vikings facing off against the Chicago Bears in a huge game. The Bears, under new coach Ben Johnson, are trying to prove that they’ve finally got the right people in place to lead a somewhat talented roster to victory. It’s been six…
Detroit Lions not only lost decisively to the Green Bay Packers, but they also lost the services of 2024 first-round pick Terrion Arnold for the second half of the game. Initially, Arnold—one of the team’s two starting cornerback—was ruled questionable to return at the start of the third quarter with a groin injury. However, he…
The Detroit Lions’ season opener against the Green Bay Packers was the kind of performance that would require an immediate parent-teacher conference. In some ways, that’s a good thing. Early intervention is important, and hopefully a wake-up call to kick off the season is exactly what the Lions need to fix what appear to be…
The NFL’s list of most disappointing Week 1 teams includes the Dolphins, Texans, Bengals, and Lions. And that pitiful display in Green Bay may have been the worst by any NFC squad. It was a nightmare start to life after Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, with national pundits’ preseason skepticism about the Lions looking prescient.
To say the Detroit Lions’ season got off to a rocky start would be offensive to rocky starts. Their first half of football felt like the transition from a paved road to a dirt one in Michigan during March: equal parts jarring and maddening. How could you forget the sign clearly posted ahead of the…
This was certainly not the start that we were hoping for. It was never a foregone conclusion that the Detroit Lions would waltz into Lambeau Field and trounce the Green Bay Packers, but it was at least expected to be a competitive bout. Instead, the Lions were given a rude awakening and a stern reminder…
All bark, no bite. That summarized the Detroit Lions’ Week 1 failure against the Green Bay Packers. The Lions came into this game with Super Bowl aspirations and the confidence of an NFC North champion, yet Green Bay delivered a swift wake-up call to the team: it is a long season, and nothing can be…
