Pride of Detroit

The Detroit Lions’ path to Super Bowl 59 begins on Sunday night. Detroit enters 2024—their 91st franchise season—in a position they’ve rarely ever been: a popular Super Bowl pick. It’s warranted, though. Not only did the Lions come so close to the championship game last year, but they’ve invested in their biggest team weaknesses, training…

The Detroit Lions have declared their inactives ahead of the Week 1 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams on “Sunday Night Football.” After reducing their roster to 52 players at cutdowns, the Lions had an open spot on the roster and used that opening to sign defensive tackle Chris Smith to the active roster. Additionally,…

The Detroit Lions open their 2024 regular season by hosting the Los Angeles Rams on “Sunday Night Football.” There are always a lot of unanswered questions early in the season, and the Rams have gone through a defensive philosophy change, but they do have weaknesses that should favor the Lions’ offensive skill players.

The Detroit Lions kick off their 2024 season just as they kicked off their 2023 postseason: at home, Sunday night, against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. You better believe the Rams have had this game circled on their schedule since it got dropped, as Detroit ended their season early with a tight 24-23…

It’s a new year, but a familiar matchup to start the 2024 NFL season on Sunday night. The Detroit Lions host the Los Angeles Rams again, a rematch from their Wild Card playoff game last season where the Lions won 24-23. This time, though, the rosters on both teams have had some dramatic changes and…

On Friday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell spoke about how eager he was to see the team’s defense on the field, given all of their offseason moves on that side of the ball. “I’m very eager. There’s a lot of excitement with myself, I know the defensive stuff (is, too),” Campbell said. “Look, I know…

The Green Bay Packers were in the national spotlight on Friday night, opening their season in Brazil with an NFC bout against the Philadelphia Eagles. It turned out to be a nightmare of an evening for the Packers. Not only did they lose the game to the Eagles, 34-29, but on the final drive of…

The Detroit Lions have declared their injury designations ahead of their “Sunday Night Football” matchup with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1 of the 2024 season. The Lions injury report is fairly light—which is not unusual this time of the season—and they only have three players on this week’s injury report.

The Detroit Lions open up the 2024 season on “Sunday Night Football,” taking on the Los Angeles Rams at Ford Field. When the schedule dropped back in May, the Lions opened up as three-point favorites, and since then, the betting line has continued to move in Detroit’s favor. As of this moment, according to the…

To celebrate the start of the 2024 NFL season, the Detroit Lions are hosting a drone show downtown Detroit on Saturday.

The NFL season is finally upon us, and that means another year of our On Paper previews. For the uninitiated, I’m going to try and keep it simple.

The 2024 NFL season kicks off in just a few hours, and here at Pride of Detroit, our staff has made their picks for not only tonight’s game but the entire slate of Week 1 games. Tonight’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens gets things started, and then the league heads…

The Detroit Lions held their second practice of Week 1 on Thursday, as they prepare to take on the Los Angeles Rams on “Sunday Night Football.” Despite having as many as 15 players dealing with injuries at the end of training camp, the Lions have managed their rehabilitation well and the majority of players returned…

It’s always been a challenge to cover the Detroit Lions press conferences of the coordinators. Aaron Glenn, Dave Fipp, and Ben Johnson take the podium back-to-back-to-back in the span of 90 minutes, and with it being so late in the week, it’s hard to comprehensively cover every notable thing they say.

With all the positive predictions surrounding the Detroit Lions this offseason—including a non-insignificant amount of Super Bowl picks—I figured it’s worth pointing out one of the few detractors out there. The latest actually comes from a current NFL executive in a survey from The Athletic’s Mike Sando.

The Detroit Lions will kick off their 2024 season with a fitting opponent in the Los Angeles Rams, who they defeated in the playoffs just eight months prior. The two teams will face off in the first “Sunday Night Football” game of the 2024 season, and there are several big matchups to keep an eye…

Earlier in the week, Erik Schlitt and I recorded a podcast answering all of your Detroit Lions questions for Week 1. Well, not all of them. There were plenty of leftover questions, and beginning this year, I wanted to try and commit to doing both a podcast mailbag and a written mailbag each week. No…

Two of the University of Michigan football team’s finest will reunite Sunday, but this time on opposite sides of the field.
