Last week’s Wild Card games delivered more excitement that was expected. The importance of having a decent backup quarterback was on full display as the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins nearly pulled off the upset in games they had no business competing in. We also got to expose the Minnesota Vikings for the frauds that

The first weekend of the 2022-23 NFL playoffs is in the rearview and with just eight teams remaining, that means it’s time for the Divisional Round. The action kicks off on Saturday with the first game starting at 4:30 p.m. ET on NBC/Peacock and will feature an AFC matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars at Kansas
Last year, the Detroit Lions staff got to coach the Senior Bowl. The rules, at the time, allowed Lions coordinators and assistants to coach in elevated roles for the weekend, allowing those coaches to both get a good look at the NFL Draft prospects on hand and get a taste of increased responsibility. The Senior
The 2023 Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs are just a day away, and while we’d all love to be watching the Detroit Lions right now, any postseason football is a pretty decent consolation prize. With only seven football games left before the entire season is over, it’s time to hitch yourself to a bandwagon.
The Detroit Lions were already going to be a trendy pick to make some noise in the 2023 NFL season. After starting the season 1-6, the Lions managed to finish the year strong—posting an 8-2 record over the next 10 weeks, and narrowly missing the playoffs. Their offense was consistently one of the best units
Detroit Lions rookies have garnered attention for their impressive performances this season and immediate impacts as starters. They’re constantly showing up in the ranks — including this ranking of the top 25 rookies of 2022 from NFL.com — particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson has lived up to his
On Tuesday, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson had opted to remove his name from current head coaching opportunities and would be returning to Detroit in 2023. On Wednesday, Jeremy Reisman and I held our weekly live mailbag podcast, and the first several questions we received surrounded Johnson. Were
On Tuesday night, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson let teams who were searching for another head coach know that he was pulling his name from consideration to return to Detroit this season. It was a massive win for the Lions, seeing as Johnson was the engineer to one of the most potent and creative
On Thursday morning, the NFL announced the five AFC teams that will be the “home” team in the league’s 2023 international schedule. The Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars will each host a game in London. The Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots will host games in Germany. There will not be
The 2022 season didn’t end in a postseason berth for the Detroit Lions, but in a rare occurrence—it did end on an extremely positive note. Prior to their regular season finale against the Green Bay Packers on “Sunday Night Football,” the Lions found out they had been eliminated from playoff contention, after the Los Angeles
This weekend, the NFC East will send three different teams into the conference semifinals, which is an impressive feat. While this has become more possible with the addition of a seventh playoff team, having this level of participation in the Divisional Round does not happen by accident. Odds are, the NFC North will not be
The Detroit Lions may be in the clear from losing offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to a head coaching job, as the young coach reportedly told teams he will return to Detroit in 2023. However, there is still interest in the Lions’ other coordinator. According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Arizona Cardinals
At this point in his career, Detroit Lions’ wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is a known commodity. Since bursting onto the scene with a game-winning touchdown catch over the Minnesota Vikings in 2021, St. Brown has been lighting up NFL defenses. He finished the 2022 season with 106 catches, 1,161 yards, and six touchdowns on
On Tuesday night, the massive news that Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is returning dropped. Per a report from Tom Pelissero, Johnson removed his name from consideration because he felt the Lions were building something special and he wanted to be a part of that. The Lions had a top-five offense last year, and
People outside of Michigan aren’t as versed on the Detroit Lions as the people who live here. That never seems more apparent than when you ask football fans to tell you about the Lions and one of their responses has something to do with the team making two of the greatest players of all time
The mood in Lions country—a real place, somewhere south of Detroit perhaps—was palpably different on Tuesday evening. Relaxed, eased, satiated. After weeks of panic, panic and a little more panic, the terror that all could be undone by the departure of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was put to rest. It’s no surprise what caused such
The Detroit Lions are near the top of the league in terms of their offseason ammunition. They’re sitting pretty with four picks in the first two rounds, and eight in total. On top of that, the Lions have a relatively solid cap situation. Another aspect that’s not often measured is the quality of the team’s
You no longer have to be on Ben Johnson watch. According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Detroit Lions offensive coordinator has canceled his in-person interview with the Carolina Panthers this week and has informed all interested teams that he will be returning to Detroit for 2023. “Johnson was slated to travel
What a turnaround 2022 was for Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff. He entered the season with many wondering if this would be his last in the NFL as a starter. After a couple rough seasons with the Rams and a slow start to his first season in Detroit, 2022 was undoubtedly going to be a
On Tuesday, the NFL named six finalists for the 2022 “Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year,” and, as expected, Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was one of the nominees. To be clear, this is not the award that is given out at the NFL Honors in the week leadup to the Super Bowl.
