The Detroit Lions host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET, in a battle between a pair of the top offensive players in the NFL in Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Jacobs. The Lions have been making things happen on both sides of the ball this season, as they rank best in
The second (and not necessarily final) meeting of the Lions and Packers is an enormous game not just for 1st place in the division but also for the extremely valuable 1st seed bye in the NFC. The NY Times playoff simulator estimates the Lions chances of the #1 seed at 84% with a win vs
Kaevon Merriweather, we hardly knew ye in Detroit. The veteran safety was signed off the Lions practice squad by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday after reports came out on Tuesday. Merriweather had just recently signed with the Lions, joining the team’s practice squad on November 21st. He did not appear in any games with
The Josh Reynolds saga in Denver has come to a premature end. The Broncos released the former Lions starting wide receiver from their injured reserve list on Tuesday. Reynolds has been out since Week 5 with a finger injury, though he was also the victim of a shooting while he was on Denver’s I.R. The
The Detroit Lions remain pretty stable on the practice participation front ahead of Thursday night’s home matchup with the Green Bay Packers. Tuesday’s practice in Allen Park saw no new additions to the injury list, and even had one player upgrade from limited to full participant. That upgrade was cornerback Carlton Davis, who missed the
At 11-1, making the playoffs is a foregone conclusion for the Detroit Lions. But it’s still nice, especially for this team, to have an official playoff-clinching scenario with five weeks left in the season. Not only can the Lions officially punch their ticket this week, they can do so in the simplest of fashions: win.
It wasn’t the easiest of Thanksgivings for the Detroit Lions, but then again, they hadn’t won on the holiday in quite some time, so they’ll take it however they can get it. The Lions defeated the Chicago Bears, 23-20, to notch their 10th straight victory and move to 11-1 on the season, maintaining a one-game
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
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
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
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
There was considerable consternation last week when Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs posted on social media a picture from inside the Lions meeting room. Behind fellow RB Jermar Jefferson was a whiteboard that showed the offensive line pass protection calls, exposing the code words and adjustments for the world–and opposing defenses–to see and study.
