As the Detroit Lions exceeded expectations as a team, these four players fell far short of their individual expectations in 2022 After a 3-13-1 finish in 2021, hopes were naturally a bit higher for the Detroit Lions heading into the 2022 season. A push toward a .500 record was certainly not out the question. Then

Jimmy Johnson knows the challenge of building a team into a winner, and he has heaped some praise on Lions head coach Dan Campbell. When it comes to turning a team around, and doing it fairly quickly, Jimmy Johnson knows of which he speaks. In 1989 he took over as head coach of the Dallas

Jared Goff has a building bandwagon of fans in Detroit, and his comparison to fans in LA will only make that group grow. The number of Detroit Lions who believe in quarterback Jared Goff has surely multiple exponentially over the last few months, as may happen when you play very well and your team wins

Lions running back Jamaal Williams made the interview rounds on Wednesday, and it’s not surprising he made a little noise.

In a fresh mock draft from the scouting department over at The 33rd Team, the Detroit Lions double-up on their biggest need in the first round. The Detroit Lions had a winning season this year for the first time since 2017, which may be disaffectionately known as “Pre-Patricia” by Lions fans. They are also pretty

It was easy to land on at least one or two narratives when Jared Goff was traded to the Lions, and he thinks he has debunked them. When the Detroit Lions traded Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams two years ago, at his request, Jared Goff was practically a throw-in coming back to Detroit.

After the Senior Bowl and before Super Bowl LVII, here’s a fresh three-round 2023 mock draft for the Detroit Lions. The Senior Bowl uses the slogan “The Draft Starts in Mobile”, or something like that as I possibly clumsily paraphrase. It is an official ramp-up to the pre-draft process every year though, as the league

Not that he’s going anywhere in 2023, but the Detroit Lions now know what it’ll cost to pick up cornerback Jeff Okudah’s fifth-year option.

Jared Goff made an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show” on Monday, and he had a new Dan Campbell story that is not at all surprising. Lions head coach Dan Campbell got some notoriety for talking about biting kneecaps during his introductory press conference at little over two years ago. As it turns out, that

In the first 2023 mock draft from ESPN’s Matt Miller, the Detroit Lions add an equal number of help to each side of the ball. For a lot of fans, with four top-60 picks to put the team in a nice position, it should be defense, defense, defense until the Detroit Lions are blue in

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – FEBRUARY 04: NFC center Frank Ragnow #77 of the Detroit Lions, NFC tackle Penei Sewell #58 of the Detroit Lions, NFC wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown #14 of the Detroit Lions and NFC quarterback Jared Goff #16 of the Detroit Lions pose for a photo during a practice session prior to

Darius Slay had a bad exit from the Detroit Lions, and even now in a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles he hasn’t forgotten about Matt Patricia. Darius Slay became one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL as a Detroit Lion, with three straight Pro Bowl selections from 2017-2019. But that wasn’t good enough
