Pride of Detroit

The 2022-23 NFL playoffs are here, and while the Detroit Lions are watching from afar, there is still plenty of fun, stress-free football to be consumed. There are six games in this round of the playoffs, affectionately called Super Wild Card Weekend, and they will be played over three days. The action kicks off on

When the calendar passes over into a new year, many seek out the tradition of setting new goals and resolutions for the 12 months ahead. But, in my opinion, it’s just as important to look back on the previous year and evaluate all of your successes. For the Detroit Lions, they’ll be able to look

On Friday afternoon, the Associated Press announced their first and second All-Pro teams for the NFL’s 2022 season. The Detroit Lions were nearly shut out of both lists, but punt returner Kalif Raymond was named second-team All-Pro. It’s a huge accomplishment for Raymond, who was handed a modest two-year, $5 million deal this offseason by

Tennessee Titans quarterback Josh Dobbs only spent 16 days with the Detroit Lions, but the franchise made an immediate impression on him. Dobbs joined the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast this week and described his hectic journey from practice squad quarterback with the Lions to almost immediate starter with the Titans. It’s a fascinating story

When Tracy Walker was injured on the field at U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 3 of the 2022 season, the Detroit Lions feared the worst for their captain. After losing three players in three years to Achilles injuries, Walker looked to be the fourth. Walker indeed suffered an Achilles injury that required surgery in late

The Detroit Lions are a fun team to root for right now, because they’re playing some very good football, they’ve got great personalities on the team, and the face of the franchise—coach Dan Campbell—is the embodiment of a powerful, charismatic leader. But this franchise is also easy to root for because it seems like they

Shawn Carter once dropped some knowledge on “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love)” from his 2001 album The Blueprint: “Respect the game, that should be it, what you eat don’t make me shit, where’s the love?” In wake of Aidan Hutchinson winning Defensive Rookie of the Month for a second time this season, Lions

The Detroit Lions video and new media department has earned a lot of praise over the years. Fans have fawned over their “Inside the Den” series, which gives a behind-the-scenes look at Detroit’s offseason—much like “Hard Knocks.” The Lions also do a great job creating funny and creative ways to get to know Lions players.

The 2022 class of Detroit Lions rookies had a strong season to say the very least and they’re getting noticed for it. A group of writers at The Athletic put their heads together to create an NFL All-Rookie Team. Three Lions made the squad—all from the defense. First up, it’s no surprise that edge rusher

The Detroit Lions have a long, exciting offseason ahead of them. With a lot of resources—including two first and second-round picks—general manager Brad Holmes has a golden opportunity to take this team to the next level. But as we know about Holmes, it’s just as important to him to retain talent as it is to

Prior to Thursday, we knew that at least three teams had put in requests to interview Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson for their head coach vacancies. Now those requests have taken the next step. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Johnson now has three scheduled interviews. Johnson will interview with the Houston Texans on

Detroit Lions first-round pick Aidan Hutchinson has been named Defensive Rookie of the Month for December/January, the league announced on Thursday. Since the start of December, Hutchinson tallied 4.0 sacks, 21 tackles, five tackles for loss, one interception and a fumble recovery. He capped off his season on Sunday night with two sacks of Aaron

Former Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell is again amongst the candidates in this year’s NFL coaching carousel. According to several sources, Caldwell has already interviewed for the head coaching vacancies with the Panthers and Broncos. Caldwell spent four years in Detroit, amassing a 36-28 record over that time, including playoff appearances in two of those

During his Tuesday end-of-season press conference, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes noted that he doesn’t expect the team’s free agency strategy to change, despite the fact that they’ll have more resources and a better base roster to work with. That strategy, in the past, has been focused on retaining players. And given the culture

The Detroit Lions had a surprisingly productive offense this season, and the future only looks brighter. The resurgence of Jared Goff and the dependability of Jamaal Williams really put the team over the top behind strong offensive line play, and the offense still functioned well without really having Jameson Williams and with the midseason trade

After being drafted seventh overall in the 2021 NFL draft, Detroit Lions’ right tackle Penei Sewell had immense expectations as soon as he walked across that stage. He started as a true freshman at the University of Oregon and was consistently tabbed as a “generational” talent by those familiar with offensive line play. At 6-foot-5

I wavered a lot on my final choice for the “2022 Detroit Lions Soundtrack of the Season” playlist. There’s a lot of pressure in choosing the closing track of a mixtape. You want to end on a powerful note, and that should especially be the case after the Lions’ statement win over the Green Bay

For the previous two seasons, the Detroit Lions have not much of a free agent impression. Most players brought in from other teams received one-year, modest deals in Detroit. Instead, Lions general manager Brad Holmes has focused his efforts on retaining players that fit what they’re trying to build and offering external players a shot

The Detroit Lions season is over and it’s time to shift the focus to the offseason and the many happenings that come along with it. Along with that comes the time to turn in your first of many mock drafts. I fired up a mock draft simulator for the first time this week. It was

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams has been named the Week 18 NFC Offensive Player of the week. Williams rushed for 72 yards (4.5 YPC) and two touchdowns on 16 carries against the Green Bay Packers in the team’s 20-16 season finale victory. Perhaps more notably, however, were the season-long accomplishments that Williams achieved on
