Pride of Detroit

The Detroit Lions are heading towards a Week 3 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings and they are slowly getting injured starters back on the practice field. There were a few key players still remaining out for the Lions, but just about everyone seemed to be trending in the right direction for Sunday. Note: Any changes

The Detroit Lions may have the No. 2 offense in the league by points scored, but offensive coordinator Ben Johnson doesn’t quite see it that way. Through two weeks of the season, Johnson seems more focused on the shortcoming of his offense than the successes. “If anything, the first two weeks have shown us how

Earlier in the week, we highlighted how the Detroit Lions are gaining some national respect after about half of NFL analysis put them in the top half of the league in their Week 3 power rankings. Given the Lions’ impressive win over the Washington Commanders, a bump in rankings was certainly warranted, but Lions fans

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs was a late addition to the team this offseason. Signed right before training camp got off the ground, his addition didn’t really move the needle much. But after Detroit got pummeled in the run game in their preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons, the Lions decided they needed a

Wow, it’s Week 3 already. The Detroit Lions are coming off a nice first win of the season and the playing field in the NFC North is completely level with each team sitting at 1-1. The Lions have a chance to get out ahead of at least one division rival when they take on the

The Detroit Lions made a statement against the Commanders, putting together a pretty complete performance and getting to 1-1 and back on even footing with the rest of the division. Part of that equation was the loss by the Minnesota Vikings, who fell off after an impressive opening victory. That makes Sunday’s divisional battle in

On the day in which he was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown didn’t have much interest in talking about those honors. “It feels normal, honestly,” St. Brown. “I’m not too excited, I would say.” To St. Brown, Offensive Player of the Week is a small hill

The Detroit Lions released their Wednesday injury report ahead of their Week 3 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings and the team continues to work their way through injuries on the offensive and defensive lines, as well as the secondary, but they were able to return two starters to the practice field. Note: Any changes from

Detroit Lions rookie defensive end Aidan Hutchinson put the league on notice Sunday with his three-sack effort against the Washington Commanders. He also contributed two tackles for loss, displaying his ability to impact both phases of the game. The performance earned him a Rookie of the Week nomination, but his position coach said his performance

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell announced during his Wednesday press conference that defensive lineman John Cominsky had surgery on Tuesday and will miss some time as he recovers. “He’s going to be down for a little bit,” Campbell said. “He had surgery yesterday and he’ll be down for a little while.” When asked if Cominsky

The Minnesota Vikings, like most years, are a hard team to figure out. They may be under new leadership this year, but the first two weeks of the season couldn’t have been more emblematic of this franchise: they open with a huge win over a division rival, and follow it up by looking completely overmatched

The Detroit Lions came into Sunday’s matchup against the Washington Commanders with a laundry list of injuries. They were left without their entire interior offensive line, their best backup guard and their No. 1 cornerback. We quickly saw the Lions go from being favored by 3.5 points to being the underdog prior to kickoff. It

In Week 1, Detroit Lions rookie defensive end Aidan Hutchinson barely made it on the box score. After playing 69 defensive snaps and letting Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts escape his grasp several times, Hutchinson had just a single tackle to his name after his NFL debut. The following Monday, coach Dan Campbell assured the

On Sunday, Detroit Lions second-year wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown set several records, both for the franchise and league-wide. He became the first ever NFL player to record eight catches and a receiving touchdown in six straight games. He was the first Lion—and third NFL receiver—to reach 100 yards receiving, two receiving touchdowns and 50

Malcolm Rodriguez has been taking the city of Detroit by storm almost since the day he was drafted. At first, Rodriguez seemed destined for a special teams role in his rookie season—a Day 3 addition that did not move the needle for most. There were some Detroit Lions fans on Twitter who felt that Rodriguez

It feels a bit nitpicky to start complaining about a Detroit Lions offense that is tied for second in the league in points scored. You know what? It doesn’t feel nitpicky. It is nitpicky. But indulge us for a minute here: just because something is going right doesn’t mean it’s going as well as it

With two weeks of the real deal under our belt, we’re starting to see an identity emerge from the 2022 Detroit Lions. Some parts of it line up with the commonplace expectations — a somewhat ragtag defense that bends but doesn’t break, a solid ground game, etc. Others — one of the league’s best offenses

Over the past 48 hours, I’ve heard from several of you asking if we would continue our “Best Radio Calls” series this year, because y’all (understandably) can’t get enough of Detroit Lions radio play-by-play caller Dan Miller. Well, I have bad, good, and great news for you. Starting with the bad news: you may not

This early in a season, if even one player from your rookie class is playing at a high level, you are doing well. If you have two that are quickly becoming key pieces to your defense? Well, then you are really cooking. That’s exactly where Detroit Lions’ general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell
