When the Detroit Lions opened the 2023 NFL season with a win on Thursday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs on the road, they sent a message to the entire league. It was a statement win for the Lions, and they made another statement on the road on TNF this week. Detroit traveled to […]

The Green Bay Packers, coming off a nip-and-tuck Week 3 win over the New Orleans Saints, approached their Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions with anticipation, hopeful of starting the season with a 3-1 record.

In the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers’ rivalry, the post-Aaron Rodgers era started just as the last one ended. With the Lions securing a big victory in Lambeau Field.

The Green Bay Packers fell to the Detroit Lions 34-20 on Thursday at Lambeau Field, struggling offensively despite the return of two valued playmakers.

Fantasy football managers can be forgiven for not inserting Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery into their starting lineups. Montgomery was unable to play last week against the Atlanta Falcons due to a thigh injury.

Jerome Bettis never thought he would cross paths with legendary Pittsburgh Steelers running Franco Harris one day. Bettis was a staunch Dallas Cowboys fan growing up in Detroit, MI.

Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker did not have his finest moment during Thursday’s game against the Detroit Lions.

Houston Texans rookie quarterback CJ Stroud has gotten off to a strong start in his NFL career. Can Alex Highsmith and the Pittsburgh Steelers slow him down in their Week 4 matchup?

Former NFL quarterback Kurt […]

The Green Bay Packers were absolutely outclassed in all areas vs. their NFC North rivals the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field on Thursday Night Football. Jared Goff out-passed Jordan Love while the Lions’ defense de-cleated and demolished the Packers’ blockers and receivers all first half. A worrisome injury to promising rookie Luke Musgrave made the […]

When the Detroit Lions thwarted Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers’ postseason hopes last season, hours after being eliminated from contention themselves, it felt like a new era had officially been born. Now, post-Rodgers, they are sinking their claws further in Lambeau Field. Detroit dominated Green Bay in the first half of their Thursday […]

The Green Bay Packers trailed the Detroit Lions 27-3 at halftime in a disastrous home matchup with their division rivals.

On the surface, Week 4’s matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers seems about as even as they come. After all, both are AFC West teams entering play with 1-2 records. But a closer look reveals that these clubs are heading in different directions. That info is sure to be helpful as […]

Christian McCaffrey was an outstanding running back for the Carolina Panthers long before the San Francisco 49ers acquired him in a trade last year. Since coming to the 49ers, he has become a game breaking superstar who is on the verge of reaching a level that was scaled by a pair of NFL Hall of […]

Star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown pulled off an audacious move during the Detroit Lions’ Thursday night road game against the Green Bay Packers. St. Brown scored a touchdown early in the first quarter to put the Lions up 7-3, and after the score, he hopped up into the Lambeau Field seats, mimicking the “Lambeau […]

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin feels their pass rush is back with a vengeance. Teryl Austin said he and the coaching staff have instilled a take-no-prisoners approach among the Steelers defensive players. It’s a culture that takes pride in sacking quarterbacks and prevents the offense from moving the sticks, per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “We’re […]

One thing we can say with near certainty: one of the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers will earn their first victory of the 2023 season on Sunday. (Barring a tie game, which is not a bold prediction we are making here.) At 0-3, teams are fighting nearly insurmountable odds to end up making the postseason. […]

Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys had a frustrating Week Three performance following their dominant 2-0 start to the season.

Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott played 87 games together over the course of their respective careers with the Dallas Cowboys.
