The Detroit Lions scored 52 points in less than three quarters but only gained 225 yards of offense in their matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Let’s make it make sense! As we’ll do every week throughout the season for this Lions team, we have some data we can comb through courtesy of PFF that better…

With a score of 52-14 on Sunday, the Detroit Lions destroyed the Tennessee Titans. The Lions’ defense forced four turnovers, making it easy for the offense to score a boatload of points. Even though the defense struggled to apply pressure yet again, the Lions still made defensive plays. This game had many winners, but there
Earlier on Tuesday, we wrote about how the Detroit Lions were the best team in the NFL through eight weeks by a large margin when it comes to the DVOA statistic. In that article, I marveled at the fact the Lions were rolling in all three phases of the game. They’re fourth on offense, third…
Are the Detroit Lions the best team in football? Advanced analytics seem to think so, but what about the NFL analysts who are paid to expound on such subjects? Well, for the first time this year, in the nine NFL power rankings articles that we gather every week, the Lions are unanimously in the top…
It’s NFL trade deadline season, that means we’ve reached that part of the season where every little thing means something. It’s the opposite of draft season where everything means nothing and it’s all just a smoke screen. Because everything means something, some Lions fans and national media outlets are misreading a moment that Detroit Lions
The NFL trade deadline is quickly approaching, with the days counting down to 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 5th. It’s an especially anxious time for the Detroit Lions, who are in the market for replacements for injured pass rushers and perhaps some depth additions elsewhere on the roster. If the NFC-leading Lions elect to
The NFL’s trade deadline is fast approaching, and there have already been some big moves, including the Kansas City Chiefs trading for receiver DeAndre Hopkins and edge rusher Josh Uche, the New York Jets acquiring receiver Davante Adams and the Buffalo Bills landed receiver Amari Cooper. And there are still a number of notable names
The Detroit Lions are 6-1, are off to their best start in nearly 70 years, and have blown out two of their last three opponents. It’s not hard to make the case that they’re the best team in football, despite the fact that the returning champion Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated.
As the Detroit Lions get ready for a pivotal NFC North matchup against the Green Bay Packers, it remains to be seen who will get the starting nod at quarterback between Jordan Love and Malik Willis. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Jordan Love is considered “day-to-day” with a groin injury. The Packers are optimistic…
The New York Giants (2-5) and Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) close out Week 8 with an inter-conference battle on “Monday Night Football.” These two teams have met 78 times in their histories, with the Giants holding a 44-31-3 regular season edge, while the Steelers have won the last three matchups, the most recent being in 2020.
The NFL trade deadline is next Tuesday. It’s fair to say the Detroit Lions and head coach Dan Campbell are acutely aware of that time frame. One of the first questions for Campbell at his Monday press conference following the Lions 52-14 win over the Tennessee Titans was about any potential trade winds blowing. Campbell
The Lions have won two games without Aidan Hutchinson, the most recent a dismantling of the Titans. Detroit holds the NFC’s best record and the tiebreaker over Minnesota by virtue of a narrow Week 7 win, but the team may well need another piece to help cover for losing Hutchinson, who went down with a
For the Lions this week, déjà vu was a double-edged sword. After another blowout victory, the Lions unfortunately had an injury to another front-seven defensive player in Malcolm Rodriguez. The last time the Lions blew out a team (Cowboys), they lost Aidan Hutchinson and Kyle Peko. The game was otherwise a healthy one — although
One of the lingering questions from the Detroit Lions’ 52-14 win over the Tennessee Titans was the status of linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez. The third-year linebacker suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter and after initially being listed as questionable, he was quickly downgraded to out and did not return.
