Week 1 of the 2024 NFL has been chock full of excellent Primetime games. The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens in a game that came down to a toe being out of bounds on Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers in a game that came down to the final possession…

Despite having to play extra time to get a tough win, the Lions exited the Rams game in very good shape and there are no medical concerns for me at this time. Here are my initial thoughts on players that may have suffered injuries during the game, along with the time stamp for the injury.
It appears DJ Reader will make his Detroit Lions debut on Sunday for the team’s Week 2 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Reader has spent his entire offseason rehabbing from a torn quad suffered in December, and while it looked like there was a chance for him to play in the team’s season opener,…
Last week Dan Campbell was asked about the Detroit Lions having 52 players going into the their first game of the year. He seemed to like the functionality the move gave the Lions. “I think it’s for the flexibility. It gives us flexibility to make a move if we need to, if we need to
The Detroit Lions new secondary had a heck of a go against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. There was both good and bad to take away from it. Lions head coach Dan Campbell said on Monday that there was room to grow, but that there was a lot of things
The Lions sure made it interesting Sunday night. After losing a 17-3 lead, the Lions rallied to force overtime and then won the game on the first possession of overtime. The Lions certainly had some stars in this game and some that were surprisingly not as impressive in the eyes of Pro Football Focus. We’ll
It wasn’t pretty. At times, it was downright ugly. But the Detroit Lions fought back in overtime and emerged with a 26-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in their season opener. The Rams went ahead late in the game but the Lions dug deep, displaying the grit and confidence that defines this team. Detroit
The Detroit Lions have some major expectations heading into the 2024 season. They were able to get off on the right foot with a 26-20 overtime victory on Sunday Night Football over the Los Angeles Rams. It was a very encouraging performance in a number of ways for the Lions. Matthew Stafford picked the secondary
If it felt like Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was all over the field on pretty much every play of Sunday night’s game, it wasn’t your eyes playing tricks on you. The Rams offense attacked the Lions defense with an unprecedented amount of pre-snap motion in Detroit’s Week 1 overtime win. Kupp was the primary
In Week 1 of the 2024 NFL regular season, the Detroit Lions took on the Los Angeles Rams, and while it took overtime, they were able to secure the victory, just like they did last January in the Playoffs. In Week 2, another former Playoff foe is coming back to Ford Field, as the Lions…
The Detroit Lions defeat the Los Angeles Rams yet again in a heart-racing overtime thriller that really got the people going. New kicker Jake Bates (of Michigan Panther fame and I’ll never stop pointing that out) got a rather intense welcome to the NFL when it came down to a field goal to send the…
The Bucs handled business in Week 1. After a dominant showing in defeating the Commanders, 37-20, quarterback Baker Mayfield spoke after the game about how he and the offense put up 392 total yards of offense and four touchdowns. Just as impressive is that Tampa Bay converted 9-of-13 (69%) third downs and only needed Jake
The Sunday night overtime victory is still only a few hours old. David Montgomery plowed through the Los Angeles Rams defense to carry the Detroit Lions to a 26-20 victory and a 1-0 mark. Normally I wait until Tuesday morning to re-watch the Lions game. Not this time. The buzz of the victory and the
The Detroit Lions have won 21 of their last 28 regular season games. Hold on, I just had to quadruple check that to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. Anyway, the wins have been such a regular occasion that it’s almost possible to take them for granted. The Victory Mondays, the top Dan Miller calls of…
