It’s tough to consider a season a success when it falls short of the playoffs, but the Detroit Lions sure took a considerable step forward in 2022. The Lions opened the season 1-6 and seemed ticketed for a top-three pick in the draft in late October, then closed the season with eight wins in their
Allen Park — It was a steaming hot day in Westfield, Indiana when Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift made a proclamation ahead of the team’s joint-practice session with the Indianapolis Colts. “1,000, 1,000,” he said of the goals he set for his third NFL season, meaning he hoped to have 1,000 receiving and rushing
Former Lions head coach Jim Caldwell is in some demand for interviews, but he reportedly turned down an interview with the Washington Commanders.

Despite being out of coaching since
The Detroit Lions won’t be playing this weekend themselves, but these five former Lions are in the Wild Card Round and will be worth watching.

The 2022 AP All-Pro team is out, and Kalif Raymond is the only Detroit Lions player to make it. On Friday, the Associated Press announced its NFL first and second team All-Pro squads for 2022.

Lions safety Tracy Walker was sidelined for the team’s second half surge, but he appears to be making very good progress from his torn Achilles. Achilles’ tears have been a prominent injury for the Detroit Lions over the last couple seasons. In Week 3 this season against the Minnesota Vikings, safety Tracy Walker became the
Allen Park — Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond was named a second-team All-Pro as a punt returner by the Associated Press on Friday. Although he didn’t officially qualify as a league-leader, falling short of the required 1.25 returns per game, Raymond’s 13.2-yard average on 20 attempts would have paced the NFL. That figure marked
In two drafts as Detroit Lions general manager, Brad Holmes’ eye for college talent has proven to be elite.

Allen Park — DJ Chark’s season ended so much better than the way it started. The former Pro Bowl receiver came to Detroit looking for a fresh start, a better cultural fit than he’d experienced through four seasons in Jacksonville. But after signing a one-year, prove-it deal with the Lions, seeking to rehab his reputation
The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly planning to trade wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, but the Detroit Lions don’t seem a particularly good fit. If there was a “signature win” for the Detroit Lions in a 3-13-1 2021 season, it was definitely the 30-12 beatdown of the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15. Since that game, the two
Jared Goff is locked in as the Detroit Lions starting quarterback in 2023, but what could a contract extension look like? It was not an overstatement to suggest the 2022 season was a pivotal one in the career of Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff. Regardless of his long-term future in Detroit, he needed to play
