The New York Giants drafted Dan Campbell as a player, and his time there laid the foundation for his coaching career. Dan Campbell has some history with the current New York Giants coaching staff, having interviewed with head coach Brian Daboll in a previous spot over a decade ago. But the Lions head coach started his

Giants head coach Brian Daboll had an epic story about interviewing Dan Campbell, and naturally the Lions head coach has a sligthly different recollection of it. This week, as the Detroit Lions and New York Giants prepared to play each other, Giants head coach Brian Daboll had a totally believable story about interviewing Lions head

Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds seemed to be trending the right direction for a time this week, but he will miss his third straight game on Sunday. Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds returned to practice on Thursday this week, fostering some optimism he wouldn’t miss a third straight game. But he did not practice

Lions quarterback Jared Goff won’t be in many season-long fantasy lineups in Week 11, but here’s why he’s a sneaky DFS play against the Giants. Through Week 4 this season, Lions quarterback Jared Goff was QB5 in fantasy. Since then, he’s averaging a little more than 11 fantasy points per game and has been QB27

Lions center Frank Ragnow has been a constant on the injury report this season with a lingering toe injury, but he is set on continuing to be in uniform on Sundays. Last year, Lions center Frank Ragnow was sidelined after Week 4 by a toe injury that required season-ending surgery. Up to the point surgery

As you finalize your Week 11 NFL bets, here are three Detroit Lions bets Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. As usual, before digging into Week 11’s best bets for the Detroit Lions let’s check out last week’s results. RB Jamaal Williams, Anytime touchdown (+100, BetMGM): One touchdownJamaal Williams, 70-plus rushing yards (+152, FanDuel):

As they look to make it three wins in a row, here is the final Week 11 injury report for the Detroit Lions. The Detroit Lions have won two games in a row (I’ll let that marinate for a second). In Week 11 they’ll hit the road for a second straight week, this time against

Pushed into the lead back role, Lions running back Jamaal Williams is having a well-timed career year. It wasn’t supposed to be this way in the Detroit Lions backfield. But D’Andre Swift missed three games earlier in the season, has seen a limited workload since returning and he may not be fully healthy until the

The Detroit Lions have struggled to stop the run this season, and on Sunday the New York Giants will provide a fresh challenge.  The New York Giants are a surprising 7-2 this season, and they have found a formula that works. Saquon Barkley being healthy has been the biggest factor, and he’ll be a huge

Ndamukong Suh lingered available as a free agent for so long it was fair to wonder about his playing future, but a team with a need and Super Bowl aspirations came calling. Even at 35 years old and not in his prime anymore, former Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh should have been signed well

Despite evidence to the contrary, Lions running back D’Andre Swift says he doesn’t fit a label no football player wants. When he added a shoulder issue to an ankle issue he was playing with, the Detroit Lions should have and did shut running back D’Andre Swift down through their Week 6 bye. He missed another

Ben Johnson has had success leading the Lions’ offense this year, and he has made another list of potential future NFL head coaches. The Detroit Lions’ offense has fallen off since being the highest-scoring in the NFL through Week 4, but it’s still sits pretty good in Ben Johnson’s first year as a coordinator and

Looking toward next season, these five current Detroit Lions players will not be back in 2023. The Detroit Lions already have as many wins this season as they had all of the 2021 season. So it’s safe to assume 2022 will be a solid step of progress in Dan Campell’s second season, and curb most

The Detroit Lions don’t make trips to New York/New Jersey too often, so when is the last time they beat the New York Giants on the road? The Detroit Lions won their first road game under head coach Dan Campbell in Week 10, and they’ve won back-to-back games for the first time under Campbell too.

After a lengthy rehab from a torn Achilles’, Lions defensive end Romeo Okwara returned to practice and started his activation window on Wednesday.  The Detroit Lions have had some (too much) recent experience with Achilles’ tears. Week 1 last year, it was cornerback Jeff Okudah. Week 3 this season, it was safety Tracy Walker. In

As the debate over NFL field surfaces gets headlines, Lions safety Tracy Walker took a couple opportunities to blast the field condition at US Bank Stadium. Football is an inherently violent sport, and unfortunate injuries happen. Sometimes the scariest injuries occur when someone falls to the ground without being contacted by another player. That’s what

As the Los Angeles Rams’ season goes off the rails, the Detroit Lions’ other 2023 first-round is getting better by the day. When the Detroit Lions traded Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams and got two first-round picks in the deal, the assumption was both of those first-rounders (2022 and 2023) would be late

A former first-round bust was available on waivers, and the Detroit Lions were down the claim priority far enough not to get him. The Detroit Lions should be on the lookout for opportunities to add talent wherever they are. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Lions were one of eight teams to put in a
