The eight-team league will stretch through the end of April with the Championship being played on May 13. The league is full of former Detroit Lions players and has a…

As we inch our way closer to the NFL Draft, one of the hot names linked to the Detroit Lions in the first round is Texas running back Bijan Robinson. It makes sense considering the Lions only have D’Andre Swift and Jermar Jefferson currently under contract for 2023, and I wouldn’t be surprised if one…

Put some respect on Jared Goff’s name. That’s what NFL.com’s Marc Sessler is doing with his post-Super Bowl quarterback rankings. No. 16 comes in well above his jersey number, landing at eighth overall. This is a 15-spot leap from his 2022 ranking, which was 23rd for those of you who don’t feel like math-ing.

The XFL kicks off this weekend, helping ensure that this NFL offseason won’t have a football-less weekend for several months to come. This is the third attempt at the XFL, after its initial season fizzled out after a single season and the 2020 version was cut short due to COVID-19.

It isn’t often that a general manager of an NFL team gets so much production from their rookie classes. They may see results from a handful of players early, while others might need more time to find their footing as a professional. However, don’t tell that to Detroit Lions’ general manager Brad Holmes.

Free agency hasn’t even started, and the Detroit Lions may have already made their most important move of the offseason. Last month after taking a few interviews, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson opted to pull his name out of head coaching consideration, and the Lions reportedly rewarded him with a significant raise. Johnson is considered one…

The Super Bowl is over, meaning it is officially draft season for NFL fans (though perhaps it has been draft season for a while in Detroit). However, for those interested in consuming some actual football, there will be no shortage of content this NFL offseason, with multiple leagues scheduled to play this year.

There was a brief concern that Detroit Lions assistant head coach/running backs coach Scottie Montgomery wasn’t going to be with the team for more than a couple of weeks. After the Lions announced his hiring last Wednesday, Montgomery interviewed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their offensive coordinator job this week.

If you know anything about Detroit Lions’ coach Dan Campbell, you know he is a one-of-a-kind type of personality. From his opening press conference to various soundbites from his tenure as a coach—Campbell keeps you on your toes. Which is why this story from Lions’ star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown isn’t really that surprising when…

If you’ve been following along with Erik Schlitt’s excellent Mock Draft Roundup series for every Saturday of the last 10 weeks, you’ve likely familiarized yourself with the most commonly mocked players to the Detroit Lions at both 6 and 18 overall. That first pick is typically either a quarterback or a defender like Clemson defensive…

For the most part, the NFC disappointed in 2022. At the bottom of the conference, the Bears, Cardinals, and Rams all finished as bottom-six teams in the league. At the top of the conference, there appeared to be a lot of pretenders. The Vikings and Cowboys turned out to be worse than their record suggested,…

Super Bowl 57 came and went with spectacle, fanfare, and of course, controversy, like seemingly every big game these days. The football was fun, up until the last two minutes. I wasn’t a fan of the halftime show, but there seems to be a spectrum of opinions on that. One thing we can all unite…

Not many teams in the NFL finished hotter than the Detroit Lions. In the final 10 weeks of the regular season, only the Bengals (8-0), 49ers (9-0), and Chiefs (9-1) finished better than Detroit’s 8-2 record—and all three of those teams ended up making the Conference Championship round of the playoffs.

The Detroit Lions found themselves hampered by their defensive bugaboos more often than not in 2023. While the second half of the season saw a proper turnaround and was marked by fine performances from their rookie stars, there’s a long way to go if the Lions want to look to their defense and trust that…

Former Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell is officially back in the NFL. On Tuesday, the Carolina Panthers announced that Caldwell has been hired as their senior assistant under new head coach Frank Reich. According to the announcement from the Panthers, Caldwell will report directly to Reich and work with all three phases of the game:…
