On Sunday, the Detroit Lions won the game, but they lost another critical piece to their defense. Alex Anzalone suffered a broken forearm and is expected to miss between six and eight weeks. That could line him up for a return in the postseason, but in the immediate, the Lions have a No. 1 seed…
The Lions have arguably the best safety duo in the NFL in Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph. Most know about Branch but Joseph needs to become a household name as well. Joseph had three tackles and posted his league-leading seventh interception of the season. His seven interceptions are already the most for a Lions defensive

Another week, another injury to a Lions front-7 player. This time it’s a forearm fracture to Alex Anzalone. Fortunately, this injury will allow him to return this year and probably stronger than ever as I explain in my feature article. Pending concerns include Shane Zylstra’s neck and Allen Robinson’s possible concussion. Many other players went
To close out Week 11, the Houston Texans (6-4) will make the four-hour trip north to Arlington, Texas to take on the Dallas Cowboys (3-6) on “Monday Night Football.” Despite being just 256 miles apart, these two teams have only faced off six times in their histories with the Texans winning the first two and…
The Kansas City Chiefs finally took their first loss of the season on Sunday, and while 9-1 is still a strong record to have, it caused a noteworthy shift in the NFL landscape. The Detroit Lions surpassed the Chiefs to become the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl at several sportsbooks — for the
The Detroit Lions announced a few roster moves on Monday morning in the wake of a couple of new injuries. After breaking his forearm against the Jacksonville Jaguars, linebacker Alex Anzalone has been placed on injured reserve. He’ll miss a minimum of four games, but according to coach Dan Campbell, Anzalone is expected to miss…
The Detroit Lions made some injury-forced roster moves on Monday. The most notable is placing linebacker Alex Anzalone on the injured reserve list a day after the defensive captain broke his forearm in the team’s blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Replacing Anzalone on the active roster will be safety Ifeatu Melifonwu, who was activated
Ifeatu Melifonwu is set to make his season debut in Week 12. The fourth-year safety was activated from injured reserve on Monday, per a team announcement. Melifonwu returned to practice earlier this month, opening his three-week activation window. He was not moved to the active roster in time for Detroit’s Week 10 or 11 contests, but
The team also activated S Ifeatu Melifonwu from IR and signed LB David Long to their practice squad. Anzalone, 30, is a former third-round pick of the Saints out of Florida back in 2017. He signed a four-year, $3.46 million contract and made a base salary of $809,000 in 2020. He was testing the market
The Detroit Lions keep taking hits over and over again. First they lost Marcus Davenport, then it was Derrick Barnes, then the big blow with Aidan Hutchinson and then on Sunday they lost Alex Anzalone. But they may not be it, the Lions may now be without Ifeatu Melifonwu for the rest of the regular
Let’s take a detailed look at the Detroit Lions’ Week 11 snap counts from their 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, giving them a 9-1 record on the season, firmly atop the NFL standings. Like in past dominating performances, the Lions played their starters full gas until the fourth quarter, then turned to their backups…
Blowouts are theoretically few and far between in the NFL. They garner attention, they demand your attention, but you don’t expect them regularly. Even bad teams in this league have ways of being sneaky and frustrating; to wit, the Jacksonville Jaguars, woeful they be, still held the Minnesota Vikings out of the endzone in NFL…
