Lions safety CJ Gardner-Johnson wants to return to the middle of the Detroit secondary before the end of the regular season, and head coach Dan Campbell is starting to believe he might be ready to do just that. “He has a chance. Lazarus has a chance,” Campbell said Monday. Gardner-Johnson had surgery to repair a

The Detroit Lions offense isn’t playing very well right now, and is coming off a terrible all-around game in Week 14. But in listening to Lions head coach Dan Campbell, you’d think everything is going pretty well with Ben Johnson’s unit. Campbell stood up for Johnson in the wake of a brutal offensive game in
You would have thought the Detroit Lions would have been interested in a reunion with defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh, but apparently, it was the furthest thing from their minds. The Lions, who signed fellow defensive lineman Tyson Alualu last week, evidently wanted nothing to do with bringing Suh back into the fold even though the
What a year it has been for the Detroit Lions and their offensive line. They’ve had a different combination of players in nearly every single game this season. One player that was expected to be stable part of this line this year is Jonah Jackson. He’s in a contract year and the expectation was that
The Detroit Lions made some truly puzzling moves on Saturday when they only elevated guard Michael Niese for their game against the Bears. When they did that, they left out Bruce Irvin, Michael Schofield and Quinton Bohanna. After Sunday’s game, most of those moves look even worse now. Let’s start on the interior of defensive
This is about as bad as the Lions have looked this season and could very easily be winless against the Bears this year. They had to have a comeback victory a few weeks ago when they hosted them but the success the Bears had was duplicated and this time they finished the job. With the
Let me start this off by saying that Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has done a phenomenal job with this team. Yes, he has a weakness and we’ll get to it, but that does not at all overpower the fact that he took this team at one of it’s lowest points ever and rebuilt
It’s always interesting what stories the snap counts from a game tell about a team. For the Detroit Lions in the Week 14 loss to the Chicago Bears, it shows a team that made some questionable personnel choices. Take the running back splits. David Montgomery played just 23 of the Lions’ 65 offensive snaps. Jahmyr
The Detroit Lions made some awful music in Week 14. Given a chance to dance to a potential division title as road favorites in Chicago, the Lions instead played out of tune and got run off the stage. Cue the Limp Bizkit. “It’s just one of those days”… It certainly was one of those days
Lions Lions LB Bruce Irvin was fined $7,766 for a hit on a quarterback and S Kerby Joseph was fined $6,230 for unsportsmanlike conduct. Lions HC Dan Campbell said there was a lack of discipline in the loss to the Bears: “We’ve been a disciplined team, but we just weren’t enough today, and they were.”
Not even going to lie, I’m not sure what to call this piece. Essentially, just join me for a therapy session where we put it all out on the table and talk this one out. It’s needed after the Detroit Lions just got embarrassed on the road against the Chicago Bears. Losing always sucks, and
In the midst of their playoff push, the Detroit Lions aimed to advance in both their division and the broader NFC playoff standings. Unfortunately, they faced setbacks as they appeared underprepared and undisciplined in this week’s matchup against the Chicago Bears, resulting in a disappointing 28-13 loss. Despite a commendable second quarter, the Lions were
Before the bye week it was clear as day that the Detroit Lions were going to extend Jared Goff after this season. He was going to get paid no doubt. He was the leagues highest graded quarterback per PFF, the ball security issues seem to be gone, he was handling pressure well and the Lions
The Chicago Bears took full advantage of the Detroit Lions making crucial errors and the defense was the difference. Justin Fields and DJ Moore played hard, making colossal strides in the second half to create big plays while the defense kept Jared Goff and company on their toes. With the 28-13 victory, the Bears have
The Detroit Lions looked like they had chance to control this game and then the third quarter happened and all hell broke loose in the worst way and the Bears ran up the score. The Lions couldn’t get the comeback win this time and they lose 28-13 to the Bears. As always, I have thoughts
The Detroit Lions escaped a rough game a week ago with a win over the New Orleans Saints. They had done the same in Week 11 in the first meeting with the Chicago Bears. On Sunday, there was no escaping a bad game from nearly everyone on the Lions team, from the head coach down
What a week it has been for the Detroit Lions. It feels like Alim McNeill got moved to injured reserve three months ago, but it was only a few days ago. The week has felt so long because we’ve all been wondering who will step in for McNeill this week. The Lions have kept their
Most weeks, the Detroit Lions inactive player list includes multiple defensive tackles. Not this week, not against the Chicago Bears. With top DT Alim McNeill on injured reserve, the Lions have all DT hands-on deck at the ready in Week 14. Isaiah Buggs, Levi Onwuzurike and rookie Brodric Martin, all of whom have been healthy
In need of someone who has played center for even one snap in their football life, the Detroit Lions elevated Michael Niese from the practice squad to the active roster for the Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears. Niese is primarily a guard, but he did play some center for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
We’ve been anticipating what the Detroit Lions were going to do all week after they made a handful of moves on Tuesday. A lot of questions where left unanswered and it seemed like more moves were coming. On Saturday we were left with more questions than we had earlier in the week. The Lions made
