Whenever looking at the analytics for a player after a game, I never take it at face value. The data that gets charted on a player’s performance is a nice tool to have, but it doesn’t always tell the real story. That happens to be the case for Lions rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold after playing

Per usual, the fellas in the Detroit Lions Radio Network booth say exactly what fans at home are thinking. This is especially true for the absolutely bonkers ending to the Lions’ Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Chicago Bears. In the latest episode of “Calls of the Game,” you can hear Dan Miller try to reconcile…
The Detroit Lions enter Week 14 in unprecedented territory. The 11-1 Lions, winners of 10 games in a row, are the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff ladder if the season ended today. Alas, there are still five more weeks of games. The Lions technically haven’t even clinched a postseason berth yet, though that
As devastating injuries to the Detroit Lions’ defense mount, Brad Holmes didn’t waste a moment in addressing the coverage gap. Within hours of the Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game victory over the Bears, Holmes was on the phone, signing a trio of veteran defenders off NFL practice squads. Lions Sign A Trio Of Veteran Defenders As
Last week, we talked about how the Philadelphia Eagles were starting to creep up on the Detroit Lions in NFL power rankings. After Week 13, that noise is only louder. Detroit barely squeezed by the Chicago Bears—suffering at least four defensive injuries along the way—while the Eagles had their most impressive win of the season,…
Coming off a Thanksgiving feast on the Chicago Bears in Week 13, the Detroit Lions return home to play another NFC North rival, the Green Bay Packers. Detroit finally ended their seven-game losing streak on Thanksgiving, and are looking to defeat another divisional opponent to get closer to winning the NFC North again. If the…
The Lions have an unusual workweek with two Thursday games in a row. That means yesterday (Sunday) aligns with a typical Wednesday, and today (Monday) is like a Thursday. An NP (no practice) today could be viewed as a typical NP on a Thursday which means leaning out. My main concerns coming out of last
This season truly is a special one for the Detroit Lions. They are 11-1 with ten straight victories and sit as the betting favorite for Super Bowl LIX. Just how good are the Lions at this point? If we take a look at the best teams in terms of DVOA through 12 games of a
The Detroit Lions (11-1) are back home in Week 14, hosting division rival Green Bay Packers (9-3) on “Thursday Night Football.” With back-to-back Thursday games, the Lions’ practice schedule is once again altered from traditional weeks. With a few extra days off following Thanksgiving, the Lions were back to work on Sunday, holding a walkthrough,…
Minnesota picked up another win on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Kevin O’Connell has now coached his team to ten of them. That’s just one fewer than the division-leading Detroit Lions. That doesn’t mean prominent voices believe there isn’t a sizable gap between the two teams. Are the Minnesota Vikings really not in the Detroit
In just a couple days, the PODcast will be IN PERSON for the first time ever. As part of our Movember charity drive for the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center, we are closing out the campaign with a live show at the Majestic Theater in the Magic Stick stage on Wednesday, December 4 from…
Although New York Giants co-owner and team president John Mara preached patience, there is a growing sense that the organization could clean house. Mara issued a vote of confidence for general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll back in October, telling reporters that he does not anticipate any end-of-season firings. However, a lot
Detroit Lions star Jahmyr Gibbs provided a great example last week of why social media gives coaches nightmares, but Dan Campbell insists he is not sweating his running back’s careless blunder. Gibbs shared a photo of himself on TikTok last week that appeared to pull the curtain back on some sensitive information. The speedy playmaker
Monday was the first time in a Detroit Lions uniform for freshly signed veteran Jamal Adams. After joining the team’s practice squad over the weekend, Adams did what many suspected he would do in Detroit’s banged-up defense. He worked out with the linebacking corps and not the secondary, at least in the portion of practice
