Pride of Detroit

The Detroit Lions (5-2) are taking on the Las Vegas Raiders (3-4) in Week 8 on “Monday Night Football” at Ford Field. Because this week’s game is on Monday, the Lions’ typical schedule has been altered a bit. For example, Detroit typically makes any necessary roster moves—signings, practice squad elevations, etc.—on the Saturday before a…

In Week 8, the Detroit Lions (5-2) will host a game on “Monday Night Football” for the first time since Week 1 of the 2018 season. This week’s opponent is the Las Vegas Raiders (3-4), and while the folks over at DraftKings Sportsbook have projected the Lions to be big favorites, coach Dan Campbell is…

Will this week’s edition of “Sunday Night Football” be the cure that these struggling teams need? The Los Angeles Chargers and Chicago Bears enter Week 8 with two wins apiece, both teams a disappointment, but for different reasons. The Chargers were hoping to reach the playoffs again in 2023 after a Wild Card loss the…

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins suffered a non-contact injury in the fourth quarter against the Green Bay Packers. Cousins limped to the sideline without putting any pressure on his leg and was eventually carted off the field and into the locker room. Immediately, the Vikings ruled him out for the rest of the game with…

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been added to the team’s injury report. He is now questionable to play Monday night with an illness. St. Brown will have a full 24 hours to get healthy and ready for the game, but if he can’t go, it’d be a major blow to Detroit’s explosive…

The NFC playoff race got a little tighter this week after the Detroit Lions dropped their Week 7 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. They forfeited their share of first place in the conference, and with the Vikings and Bears scoring wins, Detroit’s lead in the NFC North is not quite as cozy this week.

Happy NFL Sunday to you! It’s another one of those beautiful fall Sundays where Detroit Lions fans can just sit back and enjoy a full slate of football without stressing about the home team. The Lions will have their time in the sun on Monday night against the Las Vegas Raiders, but today, it’s all…

The NFL trade deadline is at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, and many believe the Detroit Lions could be in the market to add players. At 5-2, the Lions have a leg up on the division and could be fighting for a top seed in the conference if they continue playing this way.

At long last, we’re nearly here: to the real rankings. It shouldn’t take this long, but it’s fun to watch when the College Football Playoffs finally put out their real rankings. Not the fugazi, still clinging Associated Press or the Coaches’ Poll. Not that the committee seems to have a recognizable habit to what they…

Detroit Lions defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson surprised some teammates on Friday by showing up on the sidelines. The boisterous defender suffered a torn pectoral in Week 2 that required surgery and is out for the foreseeable future, but on the sidelines, he was able to bring some energy to the Lions practice.

The Detroit Lions and Las Vegas Raiders head into Monday night looking to put last week’s embarrassments behind them. For the Lions, it was a 38-6 loss at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens. While losing to a good Ravens team on the road is nothing to be ashamed of, losing in the fashion that…

The Detroit Lions (5-2) returned to the practice field on Friday, slightly more healthier than the day before as they prepare for the Las Vegas Raiders (3-4). While that’s mostly good news, there is now some serious concern about more shakeups on the offensive line. Let’s get into it with our Friday injury report.

Detroit Lions 2022 first-round pick Jameson Williams has yet to live up to his potential, and Sunday’s performance against the Baltimore Ravens was a pretty good example of why some have been frustrated with him thus far. Quarterback Jared Goff targeted Williams six times on Sunday, but failed to connect on every single pass. There…

The 5-2 Detroit Lions are hoping to put last week’s game behind them and play more like the team they believe they are. “It’s not us. That’s not what we’re about,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said of their 38-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. “It’s not what we’re about and we just didn’t, we just…

The NFL opens up Week 8 with a matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills in West New York on “Thursday Night Football.” The Bucs and Bills have only faced off 12 times in their teams’ histories, with Tampa Bay holding an 8-4 advantage. However, it’s worth noting that the home team has…

The University of Michigan is in the national spotlight right now for a signal-stealing scandal. In short, while sign stealing isn’t illegal at the college football level, Michigan staffer Connor Stalions is alleged to have bought tickets—and potentially attended and recorded— opponents games to get intel. That is where Michigan’s conduct could have broken NCAA…

The Detroit Lions (5-2) and Las Vegas Raiders (3-4) will face off on “Monday Night Football” in Week 8, and because the game is later in the week, the practice schedules are adjusted. Instead of starting their practice week on Wednesday and declaring injury designations on Friday, this week, they have their initial practice on…

As the Detroit Lions prepare for their “Monday Night Football” clash with the Las Vegas Raiders this week, coach Dan Campbell was asked if he had a favorite Monday night memory from his playing days. Like many former NFL players, the first memories that come to mind are the bad ones.

As if waiting a full week to wipe the memory of last week’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens wasn’t enough, you’re going to have to wait an extra day for the Detroit Lions to take the field for their Week 8 matchup. But as far as opponents go, there aren’t too many more you’d pick…

After getting embarrassed on the road in a revenge game against the Baltimore Ravens last week, the Detroit Lions come back home and take on a struggling Las Vegas Raiders team. Detroit isn’t returning to Ford Field for a standard game; they are playing at home on “Monday Night Football” for the first time since…
