Pride of Detroit

Over the past month, the Detroit Lions defense has a ton of new faces. The team’s pro personnel department has been working overtime to ensure the Lions can weather the injury storm on defense, and they’ve done an amazing job. Despite losing nearly half of their starters to injury—and a handful of depth players, too—the…

Week 15 begins with the Los Angeles Rams (7-6) and San Francisco 49ers (6-7) squaring off on “Thursday Night Football,” as both rival teams try to stay in the mix for a run at the NFC West title.

For the second straight year, the Detroit Lions have significantly increased season ticket prices, and many fans have gone to social media to express their frustrations. The team sent emails to Lions Loyal Members (season ticket holders) on Thursday evening laying out prices for the 2025 season, with some fans claiming price increases of over…

The Detroit Lions (12-1) and Buffalo Bills (10-3) were back on the practice field on Thursday, as they prepared for their Week 15 showdown at Ford Field. The Lions got some more good news and returned another starter, while the Bills downgraded one of their starters, leaving them down three defensive backs on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Detroit Lions linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard delivered one of his best press conferences of the career. He was energetic, informative, humble yet spoke with a confidence about himself and the franchise. Sheppard hasn’t been coaching for a long time. Hell, he was playing in the NFL just six years ago.

The Detroit Lions (12-1) are hosting the Buffalo Bills (10-3) in Week 15, and both teams are getting healthier ahead of this game. The Lions were able to dress all 53 players for the first time in several weeks, and while not all were fully participating on Wednesday—the Lions were in pads, so a few…

The Detroit Lions are 12-1, on an 11-game winning streak, and are a perfect 4-0 in division play. For most teams in most seasons, that would be enough to have the division wrapped up with four weeks to go and have a stranglehold on the conference’s No. 1 seed for the playoffs. That’s not the…

If you believe that the Detroit Lions are a Super Bowl team, you won’t want to miss this week’s matchup. After playing, and winning, three games in 12 days, the Detroit Lions host one of the hottest teams in the AFC, the Buffalo Bills. The Bills are one of the top teams in the NFL…

The Detroit Lions are getting bit, chewed up, and spit out by the injury bug. You wouldn’t know it from their record, but it’s starting to add up when you watch the team on the field. The defense has been especially bruised and battered—I’m sure you have seen this infamous graphic by now:

The Detroit Lions’ tough stretch continues this week against the Buffalo Bills. Detroit has weathered every storm this year, as they continue to ride a franchise-high, 11-game winning streak. Their 12-1 record is tied for the Chiefs for the best record in football, and their +183 point differential is easily the best in the league.

Some people love Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell for his heartfelt coaching style, others aren’t quite so sure about it. One of those others—ESPN NFL analyst Tedy Bruschi. On “Sunday NFL Countdown,” the three-time Super Bowl champion, who played 13 seasons in the NFL, expressed he’d love Campbell as a teammate, but not so much…

On Monday—as he typically does—Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell ran through a list of players he believed stood out in a positive way in the previous game. When it came to Detroit’s game against the Green Bay Packers, Campbell listed nine players: Tim Patrick, Jared Goff, Sam LaPorta, Dan Skipper, Pat O’Connor, Za’Darius Smith, Ezekiel…

The NFL closes out Week 14 with a game that looked much better before the season than it does heading into “Monday Night Football,” as the Dallas Cowboys (5-7) welcome in the Cincinnati Bengals (4-8). These two franchises have only met 14 times in their histories with the Cowboys holding a 10-4 advantage, including winning…

For all but one NFC team, Week 14 is in the books, and the playoff race is heating up. Earlier this week, the Detroit Lions punched their ticket to the postseason with a win over the Green Bay Packers. However, they didn’t create any additional space between them and the two other top NFC teams,…

If the Detroit Lions want to defeat the Buffalo Bills next week, it all starts with stopping Josh Allen. One of the frontrunners for Most Valuable Player, the Bills quarterback is a difficult beast to tame on a good day. The strongest arm in the NFL is just one tool in his tool belt. He…

The AFC North will take center stage in Week 14, as the Los Angeles Chargers (8-4) will take on the Kansas City Chiefs (11-1) on “Sunday Night Football.” These division rivals have faced off 129 times in their histories, with the Chiefs holding a 70-57-1 regular season lead—including winning their past 6 matchups—while the Chargers…

The Detroit Lions lost defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson way back in Week 6. When he broke his leg, most estimates had him out for the rest of the season and postseason. There were sporadic reports that he could make his way back onto the field for a potential Lions Super Bowl.

It’s funny to think about someone like Detroit Lions legend Calvin Johnson going through some of the same emotions as fans do. I mean, this guy is a Hall of Famer and one of the best to ever do it, yet he is still sweating out fourth-down conversions like most of us do.
