Head coach Dan Campbell delivered somewhat of a challenge to Detroit Lions fans ahead of the club’s home opener versus the Seattle Seahawks that follows the team’s 21-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium this past Thursday night. “I know what Arrowhead is and it was loud. I expect
When the Detroit Lions beat the Kansas City Chiefs last Thursday, the home team Chiefs played without their best defensive player. All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones was still holding out in a contract squabble, seeking an extension from the Chiefs. Now that the Lions ran over the team without him, the Chiefs and Jones have
Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow had been dealing with a nasty toe injury for the last two years, and it’s something he’ll likely have to deal with for the rest of his career.

Heading into Week 2’s matchup between the Detroit Lions and the Seattle Seahawks, the two teams had very different outcomes in Week 1.

Sure, there were troubling data points to reference, namely the Lions finishing last in total defense the previous season and the Chiefs consistently ranking among the top five
The Detroit Lions have begun preparations for their home opener against the Seattle Seahawks, and the excitement is palpable around the city. So much so that coach Dan Campbell said on Monday that he expects it to be louder than it was at Arrowhead Stadium last week during the season opener.

The Detroit Lions had a very successful ground game in 2022. It raised some eyebrows when the team swapped out the top two running backs, Jamaal Williams and D’Andre Swift, after the season. In their place came prized free agent David Montgomery and No. 12 overall draft pick, rookie Jahmyr Gibbs. [affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] Based on the
It’s easy to forget just how many players the Detroit Lions parted ways with this offseason. Even though the team finished the 2022 season extremely strong, general manager Brad Holmes did not use the 2023 offseason to sit on his hands and expect everything to just pick up where it left off.
