For the fourth time in the past 13 seasons, the Detroit Lions are headed to Mobile, Alabama, to coach the Senior Bowl. The top college all-star game announced this year’s coaching staffs Tuesday, with the Lions and New York Jets in charge of the 2022 teams. Typically, the NFL teams that finish with the worst

It’s taken me an entire NFL season, but I think I’ve figured out Dan Campbell’s superpower. In fact, the Detroit Lions coach opened his season-ending news conference Monday by using that superpower to drop some heavy news. “I’m going to start with this,” Campbell said, “we’re parting ways with A-Lynn.” A-Lynn, if you don’t know,
Not much has gone right the past two seasons for Jeff Okudah. The No. 3 pick of the 2020 NFL draft, Okudah struggled through his rookie year before electing to undergo late-season groin surgery. This season, Okudah ruptured his Achilles tendon in Week 1 and missed the rest of the year. Okudah has missed more than
Jared Goff still may turn out to be a bridge quarterback for the Detroit Lions, but for now that bridge has no obvious end in sight. Goff led the Lions to wins in his final two starts, Sunday against the Green Bay Packers and Dec. 19 against the Arizona Cardinals, playing well enough in the second
The Detroit Lions allowed the second most points in the NFL this season, but that has not dimmed defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn’s star as a potential head coach. The Denver Broncos requested to interview Glenn for their vacant head coaching position Monday, NFL Network reported. Glenn is one of eight reported candidates for the Broncos job,
Frank Ragnow thought he could tough out the toe injury he suffered early this season, and when that proved impossible, the Detroit Lions‘ Pro Bowl center gained a new appreciation for some of his football-playing colleagues. “I gained a lot of respect for dudes who fight through injuries throughout their career,” Ragnow said Monday. “Cause you’re
On the surface, it seemed like the perfect fit. In reality, it was anything but. The Detroit Lions and offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn mutually agreed to part ways Monday, the day after the Lions finished their season with a 37-30 win over the Green Bay Packers. “It just wasn’t a fit,” Lions coach Dan Campbell
The Detroit Lions‘ first 17-game season is in the books, and the fellas in Honolulu Blue and silver finished with a 3-13-1 record. While that’s a step back, record-wise, from 2020’s 5-11, this year certainly seems like more of a success. That could be because the Lions picked up three wins and a tie in

Dan Campbell has been on the job as Detroit Lions coach less than a year, and already he is the second-longest tenured coach in the NFC North. Both the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings fired their head coach and general manager Monday, a day after finishing disappointing seasons outside of the playoffs. The Bears fired head
Well, it’s finally over. The long, hard season for the Detroit Lions came to a merciful conclusion Sunday with a 37-30 win at Ford Field after they pulled away from the Green Bay Packers’ junior varsity squad in the second half. And everyone left happy. Amon-Ra St. Brown broke Roy Williams’ franchise rookie receiving yards
The season was done. Workers were cleaning out Ford Field late Sunday afternoon but the score was left on the scoreboard: Lions 37, Green Bay 30. Up in the press box, more than a dozen televisions were tuned to the same game. Matthew Stafford was on, leading the Rams to a back-and-forth game against the
It would be easy to get excited about the Detroit Lions beating the mighty Packers on Sunday, and maybe some of you feel that way. You must be new to Detroit. The rest of us have seen this movie too many times to be fooled by the ending. It’s like Humphrey Bogart at the finish
Amon-Ra St. Brown knew exactly how many yards he needed to break Roy Williams’ franchise record for receiving yards by a rookie, and when he got them on his first catch of Sunday’s game, he calmly tossed the ball to a ball boy and went back to work. “I want to keep that ball,” St. Brown said. “That’s
Amon-Ra St. Brown lined up as the slot receiver in a bunch formation just to the right of the line of scrimmage, with Kalif Raymond in the backfield, and immediately heard squawking from the Green Bay Packers sideline. “I’m lined up and all I hear from the sideline is, ‘Fourteen’s getting the ball coming across. Fourteen’s
The chant erupted in Ford Field. “Let’s go, Lions!” the fans chanted deep into the fourth quarter. The Detroit Lions were down, 30-27, in the fourth quarter against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, and the fans were into it, wanting the win. They weren’t screaming: “No! Let’s go for the loss and get the
The Detroit Lions have been a laughingstock of the NFL for a long time, and nothing about a two-win season will make that change. But dive a little deeper into what Dan Campbell has accomplished in his first year as head coach and it’s hard not to feel different about the latest version of the
It’s finally here, the final week of the 2021 NFL season (bleeding into 2022, even) and for Lions fans, it’s one final chance to pick up a victory over an NFC North rival, the Green Bay Packers. There’s not too much drama for the Week 18 showdown: The Packers wrapped up homefield advantage last week
The Detroit Lions activated Taylor Decker and Penei Sewell from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, but they still could be without one of their starting tackles for Sunday’s season finale against the Green Bay Packers. Sewell is listed as questionable to play because of an illness and thumb injury. The Lions took a similar approach with
There’s a sad tradition at Ford Field that few people get to see. It happens a little while after the final home game of a Detroit Lions season, when they either haven’t qualified for the postseason or it’s certain they won’t host a playoff game. After all the fans have left the building, the field
