The person also said Saturday that Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas was fined $11,139 for his unsportsmanlike-conduct
Technically he was a repeat offender, but the fine the NFL levied on Lions running back Jamaal Williams for his Week 18 touchdown celebrations is still absolutely ridiculous. In Week 18 against his former team, Lions running back Jamaal Williams scored twice to set the new franchise record for rushing touchdowns in a season. He

The Detroit Lions are building something players want to be part of, and DJ Chark is just the latest who wants to re-sign.

There were some questionable calls in the Seahawks-Rams game in Week 18, and it has basically been confirmed the Detroit Lions got screwed.

Only the Detroit Lions can get royally screwed by the refs in a game they’re not even playing.

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
