Pride of Detroit

We’ve officially arrived at the midway point of the 2024 NFL season. The season’s either half over, or there’s still half of a season left depending on how your team is playing. Here at Pride of Detroit, our staff have made their picks for not only Thursday night’s game, but the entire slate of Week…

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been named NFC Offensive Player of the Month for October. According to the Lions PR Twitter account, Goff is the first ever Lions quarterback to win the award, and the first player to win it for the organization since Calvin Johnson back in 2013. (The award dates back to…

I feel like it’s Groundhog Day for the Detroit Lions, as once again they are tasked with taking on some difficult wide receivers this week. Unlike previous weeks, it’s not just one, two, or even three wide receivers they need to worry about, it’s four of them. The Green Bay Packers don’t have a “superstar”…

It’s the second NFC North matchup of the year, and it’s even more important than the last one—something that will surely be a theme throughout this year’s schedule. The Detroit Lions find themselves up against the Green Bay Packers, the team that sits just behind them in the division.

The Detroit Lions are 6-1 through seven games and currently occupy the top spot not only in their division but in the entire conference. Their hot start has been the result of strong complementary play, with all sides of the ball contributing in important moments. That is reflected in PFF’s midseason All-Pro team, which features…

The Detroit Lions are back on the road in Week 9, as they face off against their second divisional opponent of the season, the Green Bay Packers. The Lions elected to rest several of their veteran players ahead of this important game, while a couple of others are dealing with injuries that could keep them…

One of the most popular potential trade targets for the Detroit Lions is Cleveland Browns defensive end Za’Darius Smith. The connections are easy to make. At 6-foot-4, 275 pounds, he fits the physical profile of an Aidan Hutchinson replacement, and Smith is still playing at a high level (5.0 sacks, 70.0 PFF pass rush grade).…

Just as the Detroit Lions were getting comfortable at home with their 52-14 win over the Tennessee Titans, they head back on the road in Week 9. They just don’t play on the road, though; they go on the road in an NFC North divisional matchup with the Green Bay Packers. Detroit and Green Bay…

The Detroit Lions manhandled the Tennessee Titans to the tune of a 52-14 final score on Sunday, tying their victory over the Cowboys for the largest margin of victory this season at 38 points. There was a lot to take away from the victory, as the Lions special teams came to life, the defense fell…

The off-field news on Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams continues to go south. According to WXYZ in Detroit, local Detroit police have begun an internal investigation into why Williams was not arrested during a traffic stop three weeks ago when he was found to have a firearm without a concealed pistol license.

The Detroit Lions scored 52 points in less than three quarters but only gained 225 yards of offense in their matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Let’s make it make sense! As we’ll do every week throughout the season for this Lions team, we have some data we can comb through courtesy of PFF that better…

Earlier on Tuesday, we wrote about how the Detroit Lions were the best team in the NFL through eight weeks by a large margin when it comes to the DVOA statistic. In that article, I marveled at the fact the Lions were rolling in all three phases of the game. They’re fourth on offense, third…

Are the Detroit Lions the best team in football? Advanced analytics seem to think so, but what about the NFL analysts who are paid to expound on such subjects? Well, for the first time this year, in the nine NFL power rankings articles that we gather every week, the Lions are unanimously in the top…

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…
