Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. was not on the field for Detroit’s Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. In fact, Jones didn’t even make the trip to Maryland with the team.

The next-day press conference following a humiliating loss is always worthy of attention. It’s where the head coach sets the tone for how the team as a whole will handle the bad outcome. For Dan Campbell, the day after a 38-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens was about taking the blame for the brutal performance

There is a disturbing commonality with the Detroit Lions in their most recent losses. It’s one that has dogged defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn for his entire era in charge of the Detroit defense. Quarterbacks who can run give Glenn his Lions defense fits. [affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] There’s a difference between a running quarterback and a quarterback who

Week 7’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens was supposed to be a matchup of two of the NFL’s best teams. What ended up happening was one team looked like a Super Bowl contender, and the other looked as if they had forgotten to get off the bus. The Lions got blown out by the Raves

There wasn’t much to be excited about with the Lions in Detroit’s 38-6 loss in Baltimore on Sunday, but one Lions player did establish a positive new team record. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had a prolific day, catching 13 passes for 102 yards. When paired with last week’s 12 receptions for 124 yards in

Normally we do a “By the Numbers” breakdown of all the key figures that led to the final score of the Lions game. Good or bad, the various numbers and statistical figures typically do a fine job of fleshing out how the game was played. This week, in the 38-6 blowout loss to the Ravens,
