Pride of Detroit

The Detroit Lions seemed to know they were about to obliterate the Jacksonville Jaguars because they came prepared on Sunday with the celebrations. Lions players have put a lot of thought and creativity into their touchdown dances this year, and there was no shortage of opportunities to show that off to the world in Detroit’s…

The Cincinnati Bengals (4-6) are traveling west to take on the Los Angeles Chargers (6-3) in a battle for positioning in the AFC Wildcard race. These two teams have met 38 times in their histories, with the Chargers holding a 22-14 regular season lead and a 1-1 split in the playoffs.

An unbelievable season continues to get more unprecedented for the Detroit Lions. After the Lions’ commanding 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Kansas City Chiefs’ loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Lions are now the favorite to win the Super Bowl, according to the latest odds from FanDuel.

The Detroit Lions were hammering the Jacksonville Jaguars in their Week 11 game, but they may have suffered a big injury right before the end of the first half. As he was trying to make a tackle by the Lions sideline, linebacker Alex Anzalone suffered a friendly-fire shot from Brian Branch and stayed down on…

When the Detroit Lions traded for Za’Darius Smith ahead of Week 10, the team initially gave him the week off to acclimate and take care of some personal business, surrounding his home in Florida (dealing with the aftereffects of a hurricane). Smith joined the team for their game in Houston, and while he did not…

After a trip to the NFC Championship game last year, where the Detroit Lions ended coming up just short of their first ever trip to the Super Bowl, the team adopted a new mantra: “It takes more.” The season-ending injury suffered by Aidan Hutchinson in Week 6 punctuated a slew of injuries Detroit had incurred…

The Detroit Lions have won seven games in a row. The only time in franchise history they’ve won eight in a row was the very first year they became the Detroit Lions, way back in 1934. Standing in their way of matching that franchise record is the 2-8 Jacksonville Jaguars, who have lost three in…

Our Madden 25 simulations are broken again. When we first started doing them, Madden predicted the wrong winner in each of the Detroit Lions’ first four games. After the bye, it seemed like the Madden ratings had properly adjusted, and the Madden Lions had won three in a row—just as the real Lions had. But…

The Detroit Lions are nearly two-touchdown favorites of the Jacksonville Jaguars, so needless to say it would be a pretty big surprise if Detroit lost at home on Sunday. This team has done a very good job in the past of avoiding any sort of trap or letdown game, with the only real counterexample being…

The Detroit Lions (8-1) just wrapped up a long stretch of road games, and are back inside the comfy confines of Ford Field for a Week 11 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-8). If the Lions want to continue their hot streak, they’ll need to follow the keys to victory laid out in this week’s…

“And it doesn’t hurt that you’re setting up a block on a 340-pound guy that’s 6-foot-5, that can dunk a basketball any kind of way, that can catch the ball—you know, that can do it all.” This was how Detroit Lions assistant head coach Scottie Montgomery was talking about All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell during…

The Detroit Lions get a bit of a reprieve in their schedule this week after going through somewhat of a gauntlet in the past month. Not only are they playing in just their second game at home since the bye week, but they’re facing off against a Jacksonville Jaguars team that is 2-8 on the…

All aboard the Jameson Williams train! After having a solid start to his third season in the NFL, the Detroit Lions wide receiver found himself in more trouble with the NFL and the law. Williams was suspended for two games for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substances (PES) policy. Outside of the NFL, Williams was taken…

Watching ESPN or NFL Network these days is a trip if you have been a fan of the NFL for some time. For instance, while watching “Inside the NFL” on NFL Network, three of the four hosts are former players. Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is joined by Ryan Clark, Chris Long, and…
