If there are two players on offense for the Detroit Lions that fans are more excited to see play this upcoming season, it is wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and running back Jahmyr Gibbs.

The Detroit Lions will have to work double to plug the holes on their defensive rotation left by the absence of their veteran defensive end John Cominsky.

The Detroit Lions have not had a roster this talented in a long time. In fact, you could easily make an argument that this Lions team is the most talented roster in franchise history. Detroit may not have the flashiest QB in Jared Goff, but they have a ton of talented skill players and solid […]

When the Detroit Lions traded up to select Jameson Williams 12th overall in the 2022 NFL draft, fans thought their beloved team had finally secured an X-factor playmaker to juice up Jared Goff’s passing game.

A major factor in the recent success of the Detroit Lions has been the strength of their offensive line.

In an appearance on local radio station 97.1 The Ticket, Lions general manager Brad Holmes announced the new contract […]

The Detroit Lions were one of the most exciting teams to watch in the NFL last season.

Training camp is underway for the Detroit Lions, and after their extremely successful 2023 campaign, hopes are high for them this upcoming season.

Last season, the Detroit Lions got so close to the Super Bowl they could taste it. But they remained on the unwanted list of teams that have never made it.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is throwing shade at the New Orleans Saints with over a month left to go in the offseason. There’s no bad blood between the team from the Bayou and the wide receiver from the Detroit Lions. It’s simply a case of brother-on-brother trash talk with wideout Equanimeous St. Brown, who signed with […]

The Detroit Lions didn’t have to wait too long to find another high-level tight end after trading T.J. Hockenson to the Minnesota Vikings.

All of this […]

The Detroit Lions have assembled one of the best roster in the NFL in just a handful of offseasons.

Calvin Johnson is one of the best wide receivers in NFL history. Megatron struck fear into the hearts of opposing defenses every game for his nine-year NFL career with the Detroit Lions.
