The Detroit Lions are looking to get off to an extremely hot start to their season by taking down back-to-back playoff contenders. Last week’s game against the Chiefs was a huge win, but not exactly the cleanest of performances. However, this week’s opponent—the Seattle Seahawks—are coming off an uglier game in which they were blown…
Allen Park — The Detroit Lions are understandably thrilled with the team’s most-recent draft class, but had the board fallen differently, it wouldn’t have been a surprise to see cornerback Devon Witherspoon in Honolulu blue. In fact, going into the event, it’s how most outside observers saw things playing out. Instead, the Seattle Seahawks plucked
Allen Park — Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson will never have to apologize after a win, especially one as impressive as knocking off the defending Super Bowl champions on the road, but he can still be disappointed with the path to victory. The Lions’ highly-productive offense from a year ago didn’t look like itself
The Detroit Lions (1-0) are taking on the Seattle Seahawks (0-1) at Ford Field in Week 2, and based on the opening week of the season, they look like two teams headed in different directions. While the Lions knocked off the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, the Seahawks looked bad in their Week 1 loss to…
D’Andre Swift could never find his footing in the Lions offense during his three seasons with them. After being drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Swift was seen as a potential centerpiece of the offense. while that role never came to fruition, Swift may have found his perfect home for a
Week 2 opened with the Philadelphia Eagles handing the Minnesota Vikings their second loss of the season.

Philadelphia also forced and recovered four fumbles, often shutting down the Vikings offense before it could…
The Detroit Lions are 1-0 on the season and headed toward a revenge matchup with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2 at Ford Field. On Tuesday, we polled Lions fans, asking them two questions: With regards to the first survey question, the results are in, and as expected, fans’ confidence in the direction of the…
In his Philadelphia Eagles debut last week, former Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift barely made an impact. In 19 snaps, Swift saw just a single carry for 3 yards and a catch for 0 yards. But in Week 2, with Eagles starting running back Kenneth Gainwell out with an injury, Swift had arguably the…
After being used sparingly in Week 1 by the Detroit Lions, rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs could be in for a breakout game Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Gibbs received only seven carries in the Lions’ season-opening victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Still, the Lions’ brass has promised more touches for the former Alabama
Life apparently imitated art last Thursday night in Kansas City after Detroit Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown scored the opening touchdown in the game. Shortly after arriving in the end zone, St. Brown sought out his teammates and cameras to hit a pre-planned celebration. And the hip-thrusting celebration nearly cost the Lions 15 yards, a
The Detroit Lions took the practice field again on Thursday, and they were missing the same three players from Tuesday’s practice. Coach Dan Campbell did not speak with the media, so we did not get any injury updates, but a second missed practice after an extended layoff from Week 1 is somewhat concerning.
Thursday’s version of the Detroit Lions official practice participation report looks the same as the Wednesday edition. Three players remain sidelined with injury and did not practice at all. The key name is left tackle Taylor Decker. Not only was Decker idle once again as he deals with an ankle injury, but he was not
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown avoided an unsportsmanlike conduct flag last Thursday against the Kansas City Chiefs despite pulling out a pelvic thrust celebration following a touchdown. Apparently, as he found out later, he walked right up to the line but did not cross it. In the latest episode of “The St. Brown
