One of the best parts of going to the annual Reese’s Senior Bowl is learning a lot more about the more than 100 NFL draft prospects down in Mobile. Between interviewing many of them and seeing how they interact with teammates and coaches, we get to see a deeper picture of a player. Oh yeah,
Who is America’s team? The Dallas Cowboys sure think it’s them and they’ll tell you that every year forever. But there’s a new America’s team in town these days and it’s the Detroit Lions. They captivated the nation in the playoffs this year and most of the country wanted to see them play in the
It’s the time of year when Lions fans love to look at the players available in free agency and the 2024 NFL draft. It’s fun to ponder the possibilities of adding more talent to the team. Head coach Dan Campbell knows the Lions need to keep adding more talent. However, he has made it clear

The Commanders and Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson can’t seem to move on from each other. After Johnson backed out of contention for Washington’s head-coaching position earlier this week, both have used the media to attack the other.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was consistently viewed as the favorite for the Washington Commanders’ head-coaching job until he abruptly withdrew from the process as the team was preparing for a second interview with him.

For the first time in decades, the Detroit Lions will be the reigning divisional champions in 2024. Winning the NFC North for the first time means many things, but among them is the prospect of playing a first-place schedule next season. The exact sequence of the schedule isn’t known yet; the NFL releases that in
With the Detroit Lions going deep into the NFL playoffs, fans (and local media) find themselves playing catchup mode on the 2024 offseason. But the NFL waits for no one and the first big event of the NFL Draft kicked off this past week, as teams and analysts flocked to Mobile, Alabama to watch Senior…
The Detroit Lions offense was clearly good on the surface. Ben Johnson’s unit finished fifth in scoring and third in total yards during the 2023 regular season. The Lions offense was also very good below the surface in the analytical grading. Detroit finished in the top 10 of every single offensive metric graded by Pro
It’s been a while since we’ve checked in on our (supposed-to-be) monthly approval polls on the state of the Detroit Lions. While we have weekly surveys on the future of the franchise, we haven’t polled fans on the approval of the people in charge since the beginning of October.
