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
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. The Eagles dominated on the ground, running behind former Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift, who had a career-high 175 rushing yards. 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.
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
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
Ever since Lions GM Brad Holmes sported a “Villains” sweatshirt at the NFL scouting combine earlier this year, the word has become something of a defining mantra for the team. And while Holmes has never really elaborated on the exact meaning, it’s clear his players are bought into the mindset. It’s permeated Detroit in a
After a wild Week 1 that featured a handful of upsets and one devastating injury (sorry, Jets fans), we’re onto Week 2 and back with another 32 best bets for the upcoming slate of games – one for each team in the NFL. The first week of the season is always the toughest to bet,
A Detroit Lions star player asked fans to do something that has been commonplace at home games in the Motor City for decades–wear a facial covering at the Lions’ Week 2 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. The Lions, preseason favorites to win the NFC North, head into the game hot after knocking off the defending
Allen Park — Dan Campbell has quickly established a reputation as one of the NFL’s most aggressive coaches, rarely hesitating to go for it on a fourth down in a critical situation, call for a fake punt or even spring a surprise onside kick on an opponent. But he wasn’t always this way. After serving
Allen Park — For all the talk about the Detroit Lions catching breaks because the Kansas City Chiefs couldn’t hang on to the ball in the teams’ season opener, the Lions also left plenty of meat on the bone, particularly on defense. Sure, rookie Brian Branch’s pick-six was one of the game’s most important plays,
Allen Park — The starting point for any good NFL defense is an ability to stop the run, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn the Detroit Lions finished 29th in rushing yards per game and 30th in yards per carry allowed a season ago. As the team spent the offseason trying to
Detroit Lions star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown knew there was a chance his go-to touchdown celebration would not go over well with the referee crew in Week 1’s 21-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. That didn’t stop him from busting it out anyway. During a recent episode of “The St. Brown Brothers Podcast,” the
Believe it or not, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff could etch his name into the NFL record book this season. Since Week 9 of last season, the 29-year-old has thrown 359 consecutive passes without an interception, the third-most in league history. Aaron Rodgers holds the record with 402 consecutive passes, and future Hall of Famer
