It’s genuinely something I never thought I’d talk about here. The Detroit Lions have always had good defensive players and they’ve had guys that could be in the Defensive Player of the Year discussion, but they were almost always defensive lineman and never guys in the secondary.  Even earlier this season the Lions had a

The Lions enjoyed a blowout victory on Sunday, but the team’s defense did suffer a notable injury along the way. Linebacker Alex Anzalone is dealing with a broken forearm. As a result of the injury, head coach Dan Campbell pointed to an absence of six to eight weeks (h/t ESPN’s Eric Woodyard). Anzalone’s presence will

Detroit Lions standout linebacker Alex Anzalone sustained a broken left forearm during the second quarter of Sunday’s 52-6 steamrolling of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lions coach Dan Campbell said Anzalone will miss six to eight weeks. That timetable would allow Anzalone to return for Detroit (9-1) by the start of the postseason. Anzalone, a team captain,

The Detroit Lions absolutely imposed their will with a 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. We have six winners and three losers from this one. Here’s what we got: Winners Jared Goff There’s no way around it, Jared Goff had a bad game against the Texans with five interceptions. There was no better way to

The Lions will likely place Anzalone on injured reserve in the coming days while he begins his recovery process. Anzalone, 30, is a former third-round pick of the Saints out of Florida back in 2017. He signed a four-year, $3.46 million contract and made a base salary of $809,000 in 2020. He was testing the

Way back in February of 2004 the Detroit Pistons were a pretty good team, but just needed one more piece to get them over the hump and make them a championship team. They got that piece when they traded with the Atlanta Hawks to get Rasheed Wallace. They won the championship a few months later. 

Major changes could be coming to the Jacksonville Jaguars if they do not beat the Detroit Lions on Sunday. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Saturday night that dramatic moves could be made regarding head coach Doug Pederson and perhaps general manager Trent Baalke as soon as this week with a loss. The Jaguars, who

The Detroit Lions will be back at home in the comfy confines of Ford Field on Sunday to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. With the Lions dealing with some injuries at linebacker and tight end, they’ve made a couple roster moves on Saturday that could help them out.  Signed linebacker Ezekiel Turner to the 53-man

The Detroit Lions announced Saturday that they’ve signed LB Ezekiel Turner to their active roster and elevated TE James Mitchell to their active roster.  Turner, 28, went undrafted out of Washington back in 2018 before catching on with Arizona and playing in all 16 games as a rookie. Tuner played out the final year of

Just one week after Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch was ejected from the Lions vs Packers game by the league in New York and was subsequently fined over $20,000, Branch is getting fined once again for a hip drop tackle against the Houston Texans.  Per the NFL, the tackle happened with 20 seconds left in

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta will miss Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a left shoulder injury. LaPorta was hurt during the third quarter of last Sunday night’s 26-23 overtime victory over the Houston Texans. He sustained an AC joint sprain and didn’t practice this week before being formally ruled out on

The Detroit Lions will host the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday in what will be a very interesting game. On Sunday night, the Lions pulled off an incredible comeback win, with their defense taking center stage. The defense was able to shut out the Texans in the second half, allowing the Lions offense to rally despite

There was some hope for LaPorta this week with HC Dan Campbell calling him “day-to-day,” but he’ll now evidently miss Sunday’s game.  LaPorta, 23, was named first-team All-Big Ten in 2022 following his senior season at Iowa before the Lions selected him in the second round with the No. 34 overall pick of the 2023

Before you can even say it, I’ll do it for you. “Mike, what the hell are you talking about?” I get it, the Detroit Lions are very good and the Jacksonville Jaguars are really bad. Like, really bad. The Jags are 31st in defensive DVOA and their offense is 16th and that’s with Trevor Lawrence,
