What a week it has been for the Detroit Lions. It feels like Alim McNeill got moved to injured reserve three months ago, but it was only a few days ago. The week has felt so long because we’ve all been wondering who will step in for McNeill this week. The Lions have kept their
It’s Week 14. Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell is running out of ways to surprise you, but I’m not. We’ve seen so many iterations of complete, team wins on the road to a 9-3 record —Jared Goff galore, David Montgomery’s one-man show, a dominant run defense, the Sam LaPorta spectacle, and more. We’ve seen the…
The Detroit Lions are headed to Chicago for a bout with the Bears, and they’ve already made some interesting personnel choices. Whether it’s due to injury or something else, Detroit has opted to keep defensive end Bruce Irvin on the practice squad this week, despite him adding some juice to the pass rush against the…
In need of someone who has played center for even one snap in their football life, the Detroit Lions elevated Michael Niese from the practice squad to the active roster for the Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears. Niese is primarily a guard, but he did play some center for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
We’ve been anticipating what the Detroit Lions were going to do all week after they made a handful of moves on Tuesday. A lot of questions where left unanswered and it seemed like more moves were coming. On Saturday we were left with more questions than we had earlier in the week. The Lions made
The Detroit Lions announced their Saturday roster moves, and it’s surprisingly bare. Detroit is simply elevating offensive lineman Michael Niese from the practice squad. That specific move isn’t all that surprising. With center Frank Ragnow already declared out, the Lions were likely to elevate an offensive lineman to raise their gameday roster to eight active…
The future of Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields with the 4-8 Monsters of the Midway may be up in the air, but there should be no doubt that the 24-year-old is still very much a bad man with a lot of tools that could burn an opposing defense. This Sunday’s game with the Detroit Lions
We’re getting to the time of the season when lists and honors for the full season start trickling out. One of the first comes from Pro Football Focus. PFF revealed it’s “All-Improved Team” for 2023. Three Detroit Lions make an appearance, including one that might be a surprise. Running back David Montgomery, right tackle Penei
Week 14 in the NFL is upon us, and with it comes our favorite six plays. It’s been a solid week of hunting trends and finding value spots, and the only thing left to do is recap the work.Yuck, Week 13 went just 2-4 here, moving our record this season to 38-34. We can and
In addition to being placed in concussion protocol, Carr also suffered shoulder, back and rib injuries. He did not return to the game and is currently questionable to play on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Irvin was penalized for roughing the passer because he landed with the full weight of his body on the quarterback,
It’s Bears week in Detroit. The Lions are heading to Chicago to face the rival Bears on Sunday in an NFC North matchup that could push the Lions to the brink of clinching their first-ever division title. The two teams met back in Week 11 in Ford Field. Fans might recall the Lions scoring 17
We may have finally cracked the Madden code. For the past three weeks, we have been installed a user-made modification to the game that is supposed to produce more realistic gameplay. Lo and behold, our weekly Madden 24 simulations have now correctly predicted the outcome of the Detroit Lions game in three consecutive weeks after…
Earlier in the week, the Detroit Lions quietly signed cornerback Kindle Vildor from the practice squad to their 53-man roster in a move that was overshadowed by placing defensive tackle Alim McNeill on injured reserve. It’s an eyebrow-raising move, considering many expected defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna to receive the promotion given the positional need and…
One of the takeaways from Detroit’s Week 13 win in New Orleans was how often the Lions offense went three-and-out. Ben Johnson’s unit went three-and-out four times against the Saints, an abnormally high rate of offensive failure. It stood out in part because the Lions don’t typically go three-and-out very often. In fact, the Lions
