The Detroit Lions are 6-1 through seven games and currently occupy the top spot not only in their division but in the entire conference.

For the second week in a row, Lions head coach Dan Campbell spent a considerable portion of his Wednesday press conference verbalizing full support of suspended wide receiver Jameson Williams.

Though Raymond caught a touchdown pass in Detroit’s 52-14 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 8, it’s his work on special teams that earned Raymond a spot in the record books. Raymond was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for
When the Detroit Lions lost defensive Aidan Hutchinson for the remainder of the season, there was certainly some doubt on how you can replace him. Certainly, there’s no replacing a player as good as Hutchinson but the Lions may have someone that can help provide a spark. That player is defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad. The
