When the Detroit Lions selected running back Jahmyr Gibbs with the 12th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, it was no secret that the expectations were going to be high. Much like most first-round picks, those expectations tend to get put on players right away. Especially for running backs… So far this season, Gibbs
The dust from the trade deadline has settled, and we’re now in the thick of the bye week. But because I’m sure you are all still eager to consume all things about this 6-2 Detroit Lions team, I’m here to answer any and all of the questions you all sent this week, and there were…
The Detroit Lions didn’t do a ton at the NFL trade deadline like some thought they would do. They kept it conservative and went out and got a receiver they felt could really help them in former Michigan standout Donovan Peoples-Jones. In my opinion, and I’ve documented that opinion, Peoples-Jones is a very underrated addition
St. Brown is also turning heads in the locker room, garnering wild comparisons from his quarterback. “The way that he is, in the weight room and on the field are very similar to my experience with Aaron Donald,” Goff told Eric Woodyard of ESPN. “Like, it is business, business, business. He works harder than everybody.”
The NFL opens up Week 9 with a matchup between the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers on “Thursday Night Football.” The Titans and Steelers have faced off 80 times in their teams’ histories, with Pittsburgh holding advantages in both the regular season (45-31) and postseason (3-1), including winning the four most recent head-to-head battles.
Even on a week where no players are in the building, the Detroit Lions are amking roster moves. On Thursday of the bye week, the Lions signed linebacker Trevor Nowaske from the practice squad. Nowaske is an undrafted rookie from Saginaw Valley State. He signed with the Lions right after the draft and has played
As Han Solo once said, “Never tell me the odds.” Nobody told Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs that he had less than a one percent chance to score when he took a handoff from the Raiders’ 27-yard line in Detroit’s Week 8 win. Less than half of one percent, according to Next Gen Stats, based
The Detroit Lions are on a bye week, but the business is still moving. Since the Lions win on Monday, the Lions have done a few things of note. One of them was trading a sixth round pick to the Cleveland Browns for Donovan Peoples-Jones before the trade deadline on Tuesday. The Lions sent long-snapper
For our Detroit Lions former player roundup this week, we’re going to do things a little differently and recap the entire season of each player. This should allow us to get a more thorough examination of players who the Lions lost in this free agency (or after roster cuts).
Week 9 marks the bye week for the Detroit Lions. It’s also the halfway point (kind of) for the season for the 6-2 Lions. It make for a good time to check in on where Dan Campbell’s Lions rank in all the various team categories at Pro Football Focus. PFF isn’t gospel, but it’s a
Prime Sports Video released the trailer for the upcoming documentary movie about Lions legend Barry Sanders. “We’ll never see something like Barry Sanders again,” the trailer begins, and then we’re instantly reminded of just how true that statement is. Bye Bye Barry will tell the intriguing story of Sanders incredible career as a Detroit Lions
Detroit Lions draft needs G: Cooper Beebe (Late 1-Round 2) G: Troy Fautanu (Round 2 Pick) G: Zak Zinter (Round 2 Pick) G: Connor Colby (Round 3 Pick) Edge: Jared Verse (Round 1 Mid) Edge: Chop Robinson (Round 1 pick) Edge: J.T. Tuimoloau (Round 1 Pick) Edge: Bralen Trice (Round 2 Pick) CB: Denzel Burke
It’s hard to believe that going into Week 4’s Thursday night football game, the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions seemed to be on similar footing. Both were 2-1, and both had overcome close Week 2 losses and had won in Week 3. But since September 28th’s 34-20 drubbing by Detroit, the franchises now seem
The Detroit Lions are sitting pretty at 6-2 at their bye week, and their gambling odds to make the playoffs are only second to the best team in football. If you’re talking probability odds, it’s sure looking like you can start planning for some Lions postseason football. Just look at some of these statistical models:
Back in August I sat down and made a projection on what the Detroit Lions offensive stat lines would look like at the end of the season. The plan was to come back to it twice. Once at the bye and once at the end of the year. Here we are at the bye, now
This week, the Detroit Lions released their highly-anticipated “Calls of the Game” video, where we get an inside peek at the Detroit Lions radio operation. It’s always a pleasure to see and hear play-by-play announcer Dan Miller do his work, complemented by Lions legend Lomas Brown, who was inducted into the Ring of Honor this…
The Detroit Lions enter the bye week in a great position, and hopefully, fantasy managers are faring just as well at the midpoint of the season. Those rostering Lions players are likely feeling good with Jared Goff (QB9), Jahmyr Gibbs (RB19), David Montgomery (RB20), Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR9), and Sam LaPorta (TE4) all returning great…
Faced with an injury to their starters, the Lions went out and found a familiar face as the new long snapper. Jake McQuaide is back in Detroit, signing with the Lions practice squad on Wednesday. McQuaide spent the offseason and training camp with the Lions before being cut during the preseason. He’s been in the
Since arriving prior to the 2021 season, Detroit Lions’ coach Dan Campbell has been one of the more aggressive coaches in the NFL. From going for it on fourth down, two-point conversion tries, and even timeout utilization—Campbell has always been all-in on trying to give his team the best opportunity to come away with a…
Quarterback is the most important position in football. A team’s season can change in the blink of an eye if its franchise quarterback misses time. Not only that, but it is apparent how quickly the fan base’s outlook and front office decisions alter due to quarterback injuries. Week 8 was not friendly to quarterbacks as
