Pride of Detroit

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes came out firing in his end-of-season press conference following the team’s highly successful 2023 campaign. And whereas after the team’s NFC Championship loss, coach Dan Campbell warned that the journey back to the Conference Championship would not be guaranteed and could be twice as hard, Holmes came out with…

Sadly, the Detroit Lions offseason is upon us. With this past weekend’s Pro Bowl, we won’t see any Lions take the field for several months. But the franchise will be plenty active over the offseason ahead with a calendar full of events, deadlines, and important dates. General manager Brad Holmes will have his hands full…

Coming off their most successful season in at least 30 years, the Detroit Lions seem to be in a pretty great spot going forward. Not only is their team competitive in a way that we’ve rarely ever seen, but with one of the youngest rosters in football, a healthy salary cap, and a full slate…

Although quarterback Jared Goff, center Frank Ragnow, and special teamer Jalen Reeves-Maybin are not at the Pro Bowl Games this weekend, there are five Detroit Lions players who made the trip: tackle Penei Sewell, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, tight end Sam LaPorta, defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. While you may…

After a deep run through the postseason, the Detroit Lions’ tremendous 2023 season finally came to a close, and the organization is shifting to the 2024 offseason. While the Lions have already signed 12 players to futures contracts, they still have 39 players who finished the season on the roster—on either the 53-man roster, practice…

With the Detroit Lions going deep into the NFL playoffs, fans (and local media) find themselves playing catchup mode on the 2024 offseason. But the NFL waits for no one and the first big event of the NFL Draft kicked off this past week, as teams and analysts flocked to Mobile, Alabama to watch Senior…

It’s been a while since we’ve checked in on our (supposed-to-be) monthly approval polls on the state of the Detroit Lions. While we have weekly surveys on the future of the franchise, we haven’t polled fans on the approval of the people in charge since the beginning of October.

While the retirement papers have not officially been processed, Detroit Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has moved on to the next phase of his life. As first reported by Andy Villamarzo and confirmed by the Detroit News, Bridgewater has accepted the job of head coach for Miami Northwestern High School—his alma mater.

Just a few weeks removed from losing the chance to play in the Super Bowl, the phrase “unfinished business” in reference to the Detroit Lions is making the rounds. Joining the broadcast crew at the 2024 Pro Bowl Games, star Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was asked if he was surprised Ben Johnson decided to…

After the Detroit Lions’ devastating loss to the San Francisco 49ers, coach Dan Campbell had a chilling message for his players. “I told those guys, this may have been our only shot,” Campbell said. “Do I think that? No. Do I believe that? No. However, I know how hard it is to get here. I’m…

The new version of the NFL’s Pro Bowl may be less formal than it was in the past, but that may not necessarily be a bad thing. After all, for years the game itself evolved into what seemed like a modified version of the game we have all come to love.

The Detroit Lions will have five representatives at the 2023 Pro Bowl games down in Orlando, which kick off on Thursday, Feb. 1. Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, tight end Sam LaPorta, offensive tackle Penei Sewell, and edge defender Aidan Hutchinson will all participate in various displays of strengths, speed…

It appeared heading into the 2024 NFL coaching carousel that the Detroit Lions were in danger of losing both coordinators to head coaching gigs. As it turns out, both offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn are set to return to Detroit. Johnson has already declared that he will be returning to Detroit,…

The Detroit Lions accolades keep coming in. The latest come from the publication Sporting News, who have named Lions general manager Brad Holmes the NFL Executive of the Year and Dan Campbell the NFL Coach of the Year for the 2023 season. The voting for this award is based on peers, not the Sporting News…

I know the pain from the loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game is still fresh. You may not be happy with how the game ended, and as a Detroit Lions fan, I understand entirely. The Lions didn’t lose to the 49ers; they beat themselves. Poor play call decisions on fourth…

On Wednesday night, news broke that the Detroit Lions will be adding Tennessee Titans assistant head coach/defensive line coach Terrell Williams to their own coaching staff. Per Dianna Russini, Williams’ role will be Detroit’s defensive run game coordinator and defensive line coach. It’s unclear what this means for current Lions defensive line coach John Scott…

The dust has yet to settle and the wounds still sting, but no matter how you slice it, 2023 was one of the best seasons in Detroit Lions history. Every year, 31 teams fall short of the ultimate prize, but it would be foolish to suggest that all 31 teams end the season as disappointed…

The Detroit Lions are hiring coach Terrell Williams to their staff as the team’s run game coordinator and defensive line coach, according to a report from The Athletic’s Dianna Russini. Williams played defensive tackle at East Carolina through the 1995 season and just three years later he leaped into the coaching profession. Over his college…

After an incredibly successful 2023 season, the Detroit Lions now turn their gaze to the offseason. The first thing on Lions’ general manager Brad Holmes’ to-do list? Figure out a contract extension for starting quarterback Jared Goff. Former NFL agent Joel Corry weighs in on what a new deal for Goff may look like given…

We’ve yet to hear directly from Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson since he notified the Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks that he will not be pursuing a head coach job and is returning to Detroit. However, thanks to Amon-Ra St. Brown, we have a better idea of what made Johnson return.
