Pride of Detroit

Move over, Chris Christie. Green Bay Packers safety Xavier McKinney doesn’t like what the Detroit Lions are doing, and he’s got something to say about it. On Thursday, McKinney told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he felt the Lions have been running up the score and calling unnecessary trick plays while up several scores to…

As of Friday morning, the weather forecast for Detroit LIons vs. Green Bay Packers is a rainy day in Lambeau. Per The Weather Channel, it should be a high of 52 degrees with a 97 chance of precipitation (half an inch of rain in total). Throw in 10-to-20 mile per hour winds, and it’ll definitely…

What’s more fun than blowing out your opponent on your home turf? Why, adding a little trickery into the mix, of course. On Thursday, the Detroit Lions released the latest episode of “Sights and Sounds” following Detroit’s blowout against the Tennessee Titans. They posted one clip in particular of the squad’s reaction after running back…

It’s time for our Fourth Annual Movember Charity Drive. If you haven’t been around, for the entire month of November, we’ll be raising money through live streams and the website for a good, local cause. Last year, we raised over $41,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association and the Humane Society of West Michigan.

The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers face off this week for first place in the NFC North. Finally, the bouts between these two teams mean something after decades of Packers dominance. Detroit has actually had the minor edge in this matchup in recent years, winning four of the last five contests over Green Bay.…

The NFL decided to skip the treats and perform a trick on NFL fans this Halloween, as they’ve once again scheduled the New York Jets in a Primetime viewing window. They welcome the Houston Texans to New Jersey in Week 9, for a special spooky edition of “Thursday Night Football.” These two teams have faced…

We’ve officially arrived at the midway point of the 2024 NFL season. The season’s either half over, or there’s still half of a season left depending on how your team is playing. Here at Pride of Detroit, our staff have made their picks for not only Thursday night’s game, but the entire slate of Week…

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been named NFC Offensive Player of the Month for October. According to the Lions PR Twitter account, Goff is the first ever Lions quarterback to win the award, and the first player to win it for the organization since Calvin Johnson back in 2013. (The award dates back to…

I feel like it’s Groundhog Day for the Detroit Lions, as once again they are tasked with taking on some difficult wide receivers this week. Unlike previous weeks, it’s not just one, two, or even three wide receivers they need to worry about, it’s four of them. The Green Bay Packers don’t have a “superstar”…

It’s the second NFC North matchup of the year, and it’s even more important than the last one—something that will surely be a theme throughout this year’s schedule. The Detroit Lions find themselves up against the Green Bay Packers, the team that sits just behind them in the division.

The Detroit Lions are 6-1 through seven games and currently occupy the top spot not only in their division but in the entire conference. Their hot start has been the result of strong complementary play, with all sides of the ball contributing in important moments. That is reflected in PFF’s midseason All-Pro team, which features…

The Detroit Lions are back on the road in Week 9, as they face off against their second divisional opponent of the season, the Green Bay Packers. The Lions elected to rest several of their veteran players ahead of this important game, while a couple of others are dealing with injuries that could keep them…

One of the most popular potential trade targets for the Detroit Lions is Cleveland Browns defensive end Za’Darius Smith. The connections are easy to make. At 6-foot-4, 275 pounds, he fits the physical profile of an Aidan Hutchinson replacement, and Smith is still playing at a high level (5.0 sacks, 70.0 PFF pass rush grade).…

Just as the Detroit Lions were getting comfortable at home with their 52-14 win over the Tennessee Titans, they head back on the road in Week 9. They just don’t play on the road, though; they go on the road in an NFC North divisional matchup with the Green Bay Packers. Detroit and Green Bay…

The Detroit Lions manhandled the Tennessee Titans to the tune of a 52-14 final score on Sunday, tying their victory over the Cowboys for the largest margin of victory this season at 38 points. There was a lot to take away from the victory, as the Lions special teams came to life, the defense fell…

The off-field news on Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams continues to go south. According to WXYZ in Detroit, local Detroit police have begun an internal investigation into why Williams was not arrested during a traffic stop three weeks ago when he was found to have a firearm without a concealed pistol license.

The Detroit Lions scored 52 points in less than three quarters but only gained 225 yards of offense in their matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Let’s make it make sense! As we’ll do every week throughout the season for this Lions team, we have some data we can comb through courtesy of PFF that better…

Earlier on Tuesday, we wrote about how the Detroit Lions were the best team in the NFL through eight weeks by a large margin when it comes to the DVOA statistic. In that article, I marveled at the fact the Lions were rolling in all three phases of the game. They’re fourth on offense, third…

Are the Detroit Lions the best team in football? Advanced analytics seem to think so, but what about the NFL analysts who are paid to expound on such subjects? Well, for the first time this year, in the nine NFL power rankings articles that we gather every week, the Lions are unanimously in the top…

The Detroit Lions are 6-1, are off to their best start in nearly 70 years, and have blown out two of their last three opponents. It’s not hard to make the case that they’re the best team in football, despite the fact that the returning champion Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated.
