Hall of Fame head coach Jimmy Johnson knows just how hard it is to take over a team down on their luck and turn it into a winner. He took over a Dallas Cowboys team fresh off a 3-13 season in 1988. In Johnson’s first season with the Cowboys in 1989 he won just one
Former Detroit Lions defensive back Stanley Wilson died earlier this month, according to TMZ. He was just 40 years old.

For the most part, the NFC disappointed in 2022. At the bottom of the conference, the Bears, Cardinals, and Rams all finished as bottom-six teams in the league.

Super Bowl 57 came and went with spectacle, fanfare, and of course, controversy, like seemingly every big game these days. The football was fun, up until the last two minutes. I wasn’t a fan of the halftime show, but there seems to be a spectrum of opinions on that. One thing we can all unite…
Now that that’s over, and you’ve had your fun imagining the Detroit Lions sharing the field with the Vikings, Eagles and the 49ers and the Chiefs, next season officially begins, and it’s time to consider what the Lions need to make a run to the playoffs — and maybe one in the playoffs. But that’s
The Detroit Lions didn’t really need extra motivation before Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers, but Dan Campbell found some fodder to do so.
