Pride of Detroit

As the Detroit Lions get nearer to their big Sunday showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, their injury list appears to only get longer. During Thursday’s practice, rookie tight end Sam LaPorta was not present, dealing another blow to Detroit’s offense. At this point, we do not know the injury LaPorta is dealing with, as…

Putting an end to the discussion of whether curses are real, it’s been discovered the Detroit Lions are on an incredibly hot winning streak since the curse of Bobby Layne was lifted last fall. In an episode of the Omaha Production series “Peyton’s Places,” Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning enlisted the help of Hollywood…

In case you didn’t know, we have a Pride of Detroit YouTube channel that has a ton of original content that doesn’t always make the site. One new feature this year is weekly film breakdowns where Meko Scott and Morgan Cannon provide analysis for the biggest and most notable plays from the previous matchup. It’s…

The Detroit Lions celebrated Taylor Decker on Sunday for starting the 100th game of his career. It’s an awesome tale for Decker, who went through a ton of trying years here in Detroit, persisted, and is now reaping the benefits of his patience by playing for one of the hottest teams in the NFL.

Very few people are sleeping on the Detroit Lions at this point, with both sides of the ball firing as the team has started 4-1. Next up is a Tampa Bay Buccaneers squad that has surprised a bit early on and currently leads the NFC South. This will be a tricky matchup on the road…

There has been a lot of outside noise about the lack of production from Detroit Lions rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs. While Gibbs has shown flashes here and there of excellent play, it hasn’t been up to the expectations of some who expected stellar numbers out of the 12th overall pick in the 2023 NFL…

We got another chance to talk with Amon-Ra St. Brown, star Detroit Lions wide receiver, as he works to recover and make his way back to the field for the 2023 NFL season. We discussed all manner of things this time: what it’s like to be recovering and staying competitive, how much the new Lions…

On Tuesday, our beloved Chris Perfett made the case that the Lions should be prepared to buy at the trade deadline. This is the first time under the Holmes & Campbell regime that the Lions have a legitimate case to be buyers—in years past, the season looked almost lost at this point.

The Detroit Lions have signed veteran cornerback Anthony Averett to their practice squad, according to the team. Detroit finds themselves a bit shorthanded in the secondary right now after Emmanuel Moseley suffered a torn ACL on Sunday, while Brian Branch is nursing an ankle injury and C.J. Gardner-Johnson remains on IR with a long-term pectoral…

On Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, the Detroit Lions pulled off one of the most unique-looking trick plays I’ve ever seen. Quarterback Jared Goff went under center, but instead of snapping him the ball, center Frank Ragnow rifled the ball between Goff’s legs to running back David Montgomery. He then took the direct snap and…

I wonder how many times Detroit Lions’ general manager Brad Holmes has had the, “Well, I certainly got that pick right,” moment this season. Through five games of the 2023 season, he and coach Dan Campbell’s Lions sit at 4-1 atop the NFC North division, and many of his draft picks from his first three…

On Monday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell gave a bunch of injury updates on players like Jonah Jackson, Brian Branch, and Josh Paschal. Noticeably missing from that press conference was an update on star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, who missed Sunday’s game against the Panthers with an abdominal injury.

Welcome to fall! The food tastes better, the beer tastes better, the football tastes better too. It’s a beautiful trick of the imagination, savoring in decay; leaves dying, winter encroaching and yet your taste buds are getting satiated—gourmandry at the end of the world. Also, the NFL trade deadline is little more than three weeks…

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Minnesota Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson is headed to injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury in the team’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Jefferson will miss a minimum of four games, which include contests against the Bears, 49ers, Packers and Falcons.

The evidence that this Detroit Lions team is legit is overwhelming. They’re the No. 3 team by DVOA standings. Their offense and defense are both ranked in the top 10 by expected points added. And while there are a lot of people that have issues with PFF’s grading system, they, too, seem to highlight this…

Like most teams, the Detroit Lions have been hit hard by the injury bug, and each week, it seems like a new player or two is eligible to return from injured reserve. This week, defensive lineman Josh Paschal and cornerback Khalil Dorsey are the latest to be able to return from IR. On Monday, coach…

The NFL closes out Week 5 with a “Monday Night Football” with the Charles Woodson Bowl, featuring the Green Bay Packers taking on the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. Woodson played his entire career only playing for these two organizations. Originally drafted by the Raiders with the No. 4 overall pick…

In previous seasons, many of us chose to tune out what the rest of the world was saying about the Detroit Lions, if they were even talking about them at all. It’s much different story as the Lions stroll into Week 6 with a 4-1 record, not just beating but pummeling teams with good rosters.…

The Detroit Lions are off to a 4-1 start this season—by record, their best start since going 5-0 at the beginning of the 2011 season. By point differential, the Lions’ current mark of +41 is the highest also since that 2011 season (+70). And according to ESPN, the Lions’ three straight wins by double digits…

The Detroit Lions rolled over the Carolina Panthers in Week 5, racing out to a big lead early and ultimately cruising to a 42-24 win. What makes this victory even more impressive is the Lions accomplished this victory over the Panthers without several key contributors, including wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, running back Jahmyr Gibbs,…
