Pride of Detroit

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.

As the Detroit Lions get ready for a pivotal NFC North matchup against the Green Bay Packers, it remains to be seen who will get the starting nod at quarterback between Jordan Love and Malik Willis. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Jordan Love is considered “day-to-day” with a groin injury. The Packers are optimistic…

The New York Giants (2-5) and Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) close out Week 8 with an inter-conference battle on “Monday Night Football.” These two teams have met 78 times in their histories, with the Giants holding a 44-31-3 regular season edge, while the Steelers have won the last three matchups, the most recent being in 2020.

One of the lingering questions from the Detroit Lions’ 52-14 win over the Tennessee Titans was the status of linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez. The third-year linebacker suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter and after initially being listed as questionable, he was quickly downgraded to out and did not return.

Let’s take a detailed look at the Detroit Lions Week 8 snap counts from their 38-point win over the Tennessee Titans. Two things to keep in mind this week: first, the Lions constantly had the ball in great field position because of special teams and turnovers, so the snap counts are lower than normal (just…

The Detroit Lions are, after seven weeks of the NFL, the top of the class of the NFC. They punctuated that with an oddball game at home against the Tennessee Titans, where there were far more return yards on special teams than passing yards. A strange day, a unit mismatch and a whole lot of…

The Detroit Lions won again. The Lions are now 6-1, their best start in nearly 70 years, and they remain atop both their division and the entire NFC conference. Week 8 had a mix of good and bad results for the Lions, as it pertains to their ability to stay atop both. Let’s take a…

The San Francisco 49ers (3-4) are hosting the Dallas Cowboys (3-3) in a Week 8 “Sunday Night Football” battle. These are two of the most storied franchises in the NFL, and for the majority of the 1990s, they dominated the NFC. Despite their long histories, they’ve only faced each other 40 times, with San Francisco…

It’s been written before that Kalif Raymond’s journey to the Detroit Lions was one wrought with struggles and strife. His first two years were spent on three different teams, and after getting cut by the third team (the New York Giants), he thought his career was over after just two seasons. After muffed punts and…

At one point in time, the scoreboard said 14-14 and this game was looking like a potential shootout. Yet, by the time the final whistle blew, only one team had blown up the scoreboard. The Detroit Lions walked away from their Week 8 tilt versus the Tennessee Titans with a staggering 52-14 victory. Despite the…

The Detroit Lions returned home on Sunday to play the Tennessee Titans as they came off a big victory over the Minnesota Vikings the week before. Tennessee was the best defense the Lions have played this season, but looking at the final score you wouldn’t believe that. Detroit was able to put up 52 points…

The Tennessee Titans are about as close to a lost cause as you can be this early in the season. They’re 1-5, last in the AFC South, and one of the weakest teams in the league. Their lone win came against a Miami Dolphins team that was still in offensive disarray following Tua Tagovailoa’s latest…

The Detroit Lions (5-1) will take on the Tennessee Titans (1-5) in Week 8, returning to Ford Field for their first home game in nearly a month. “Yeah, just it feels good to get back in front of our fans, our place, the environment of it, our own home routine,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said.…

The Detroit Lions come into Week 8 as a heavy favorite over the Tennessee Titans. Per the latest odds from FanDuel, the Lions are favored now by 11.5 points, which is rare for this franchise. But despite the favorable Vegas line, the Lions are going to be without some serious contributors this week. Jameson Williams…

In the midst of a stellar season so far, Brian Branch says there’s one coach in particular who helped him get to where he is today. On the latest episode of the St. Brown Brothers Podcast, Amon-Ra asked the defensive back if there was a player or coach who had the biggest impact on his…

The Detroit Lions (5-1) are back home in the comfy confines of Ford Field in Week 8, welcoming in the Tennessee Titans (1-5) for their first inter-conference battle of the season. These teams are in very different spots right now. The Lions are on fire and are considered one of the best teams in the…

The Detroit Lions hangover is a phenomenon that has taken hold of the local fanbase. The theory, in short, is that every single team that plays the Lions experiences some sort of hangover—or letdown—the following week. And the evidence that this is a real thing continues to mount. Take a look:

The Minnesota Vikings (5-1) are on the road in Week 8, traveling to California to take on the Los Angeles Rams (2-4) at SoFi Stadium. These two teams have faced off 47 times in their histories, with the Vikings holding a 22-16-2 regular season advantage, as well as a 5-2 advantage in the Playoffs. However,…
