The Lions head coach took to the podium on Monday and gave […]

The Detroit Lions have not played meaningful football this late into the season since 2017. Detroit missed the playoffs that season after a late-season loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Detroit Lions rookie Jameson Williams played only a handful of snaps in his NFL debut. And the ravenous Lions crowd begged to see more of the promising rookie receiver.

Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson saw firsthand that something was almost literally holding him back from being taken with the first-overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars and general manager Trent Baalke in the 2022 NFL Draft. “I guess my arms were just not quite long enough,” Hutchinson said. “But that hit a week before […]

The Detroit Lions have been playing rather well in recent weeks. Prior to their Thanksgiving loss, the Lions won three games in a row, including a victory over the then 7-2 New York Giants.

Happy Thanksgiving! Or should I say, Happy John Madden Thanksgiving Celebration (as per official NFL nomenclature)?

With that in mind, let’s […]

Most NFL fans that grew up this decade know the Detroit Lions as a moribund franchise. Even when Matthew Stafford was leading the charge, the team didn’t really find much success.

It wasn’t an easy victory, but the Buffalo Bills had a successful Thanksgiving Day encounter with the Detroit Lions after placekicker Tyler Bass connected on a 45-yard field goal with 2 seconds remaining.

Detroit Lions fans perhaps had the biggest steal of the 2022 NFL draft when they took Jameson Williams at No. 12. Prior to the draft, Williams was regarded as a potential top-5 talent.
