Pride of Detroit

I don’t need to convince you that the Detroit Lions offense is on fire. Detroit has put up 30 points in three straight games, and Jared Goff is in the midst of an MVP-type of run. But sometimes a stat comes along that makes your jaw drop, no matter how in-tune with the team you…

Jared Goff is in the midst of quite possibly the best ever string of games for a Detroit Lions quarterback, and everyone is starting to notice. In the aftermath of the Lions’ comeback victory over the Minnesota Vikings, FOX TV analyst and Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw gave Goff quite possibly the best compliment…

The Detroit Lions have five victories under their belt so far in the 2024 season, and each of them tell a different tale. Their Week 1 win against the Los Angeles Rams was a close-fought affair that required a dominant rushing drive in overtime to close it out. After losing a tough game against the…

Aidan Hutchinson was the early frontrunner for 2024 Defensive Player of the Year honors, when a brutal injury in Week 6 ended ended his season—even though there are some reports he could return for the Super Bowl. Hutchinson suffered a fractured tibia and fibula, had successful surgery in Dallas, and returned home the following day.

The NFC North has been one of the best divisions in football, and the first tilt of the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings did not disappoint. Last week, the Lions steamrolled the Dallas Cowboys in a laid-back affair. Against the then-undefeated Vikings, there was far more drama. After a crushing opening quarter, the Lions were…

After getting another monkey off of their back last week with a dominant win over the Dallas Cowboys, the Detroit Lions had to go back on the road, taking on the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings put up a good fight, getting up 10-0 quickly, and it wasn’t looking good for the Lions. After calming…

The NFL game of the week is being played in Minneapolis this Sunday. The 4-1 Detroit Lions take on the 5-0 Minnesota Vikings in a battle for the NFC North lead. The Lions’ success is hardly a surprise. They were considered NFC Champion and Super Bowl contenders this entire offseason. A 4-1 start falls right…

The Detroit Lions (4-1) are on the road in Week 7, traveling to the twin cities to take on the Minnesota Vikings (5-0), hoping to seize control of the NFC North. “What a test we’re going to have this week,” coach Dan Campbell said on Wednesday. “These guys are playing really good football. 5-and-0, at…

On Sunday, the Detroit Lions enter a new world: life without Aidan Hutchinson. The Lions could go in several different directions in adjusting to a roster without their Defensive Player of the Year candidate. They could adjust their entire scheme. They could trade for a player. They may just end up relying more on their…

The Cleveland Browns are a sinking ship at 1-5 through six games, and they’ve already shown they could be sellers at the trade deadline after sending Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills. Naturally, Detroit Lions fans have looked their way when seeking possible trade options to help with the team’s needs on defense following the…

The Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings have declared their Week 7 injury designations ahead of their divisional matchup on Sunday. Let’s take a look at Friday’s injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note that any changes from yesterday’s report will be bolded.

As the Detroit Lions still try to navigate in a post-Aidan Hutchinson season, there are several players they will rely upon more to be a disruptive force on nature. The coaching staff has already identified Alim McNeill, DJ Reader, Josh Paschal, and Levi Onwuzurike as players who will need to take their game to a…

The signature jug Aidan Hutchinson carries on game day holds quite a bit more importance than simply keeping him hydrated. Each week, it carries the names of sick children who Hutchinson and his family visit at metro Detroit hospitals, including C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor. So when it was Hutch’s turn to need…

Week 7 for the Detroit Lions could be their Game of the Year. With an extremely competitive division, no teams in the NFL are looking better right now that the Lions and Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are led by a tremendous defense that ranks first in just about every statistical category, but they’ll have their…

It’s the first NFC North matchup of the year, and the Detroit Lions find themselves up against the team that sits atop the division, the Minnesota Vikings. Football is back, and we would never pass up the opportunity to get some intel from the opponent’s perspective. We called on Christopher Gates of DailyNorseman.com to give…

The Denver Broncos (3-3) and head coach Sean Payton, will travel to his old stomping grounds to take on the New Orleans Saints to kick off Week 7. Over 15 seasons in New Orleans, Payton won a franchise record 152 games, including a Super Bowl victory in 2009. In the 2022 offseason, the Saints traded…

From the outside looking in, it certainly seemed like the Detroit Lions emptied the bag when it came to their offensive trick play calls against the Dallas Cowboys last week. Still clearly a little perturbed from the result of last year’s Dallas game—when a go-ahead trick play to Taylor Decker was nullified by a wrongful…

In each of the last two weeks, there has been a field goal block involving a relatively new strategy, and Detroit Lions special teams coordinator Dave Fipp is not a fan of it. In short, the strategy involves a defender immediately holding down the long snapper while another member of the block team hurdles over…

The Detroit Lions (4-1) will take on the Minnesota Vikings (5-0) in Week 7 of the 2024 regular season with divisional implications on the line. One of the unique things about this matchup is that both teams have retained their head coach and all three coordinators from the previous season, making this the first opponent…

Unsurprisingly, this week’s mailbox was filled with questions about Aidan Hutchinson and how the Detroit Lions defense will respond to his (likely) season-ending injury. So on this week’s Midweek Mailbag podcast, we tried to tackle them all in one segment, so that we could move on in the second.
