Latest blog entries from Detroit teams across every league
The Detroit Lions (8-8) and Chicago Bears (11-5) will square off in a Week 18 divisional rivalry game. Unfortunately, this game has lost a bit of its luster, as the Lions are limping toward the end of the season, and the Bears have already clinched the NFC North title, their first since 2018. The folks […]
In this festive post-Christmas episode of Two Old Bloggers on Vikings 1st & SKOL, hosts Darren Campbell (fresh from his trip), Dave Stefano, and this season’s sidekick Drew Bunting deliver passionate, unfiltered analysis of the Minnesota Vikings’ thrilling 23-10 upset over the Detroit Lions. The defense stole the show on Netflix’s holiday showcase, forcing six […]
Before the 2025 Detroit Lions season began, many wondered how the team would look after losing both coordinators to head coaching jobs. Many warned of a potential “brain drain” in Detroit, and when Frank Ragnow suddenly retired in May, offensive line concerns were just as large—if not larger—than that of the coaching staff losses. One […]
Happy Simon Edvinsson Day in America to all who celebrate! No seriously, though. What a way to bounce back after Saturday’s ugly loss against the Hurricanes. The Toronto Maple Leafs gave the Red Wings a lot to handle on Sunday. The first period was a defensive battle before Matthew Knies opened the scoring in the middle frame. Moritz Seider would have the equalizer with less than a minute left in the second. Simon Edvinsson would eventually put the game away in OT thanks to a sweet displa...
As I wrote in this week’s Lions-Vikings preview article, “each loss has felt heavier than the last, often coming in ways that raise new questions rather than offering answers.” Christmas was no exception. If anything, it marked a new rock bottom—introducing the one feeling Lions fans hadn’t fully experienced in a while: a jaded numbness. […]
The NFL likes to really draw out the reveal of their Week 18 schedule. Hoping to put some win-and-in scenarios in primetime for the final regular season week, the NFL waits until most of the Week 17 is done before scheduling the final week of the season. After the 49ers’ win over the Bears on […]
In a season unanimously viewed as a failure, there are many parts of the 2025 Detroit Lions that can be considered disappointing. Whether it is the continued onslaught of injuries, the regression from the offense, the struggles of the defense, or the inability to reach the playoffs—let alone compete for a Super Bowl—a lot went […]
When the Chicago Bears traveled to Motown for their Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions, the Lions won big, 52-21. The Lions and their fans were fired up for that game, and it had a playoff-like atmosphere, because they wanted to make a statement and stick it to Ben Johnson for leaving to become […]
While the Red Wings were hanging around only down 1-0, you had to feel good about the Maple Leafs’ play through 35 minutes of this game. After a bit of a jittery first minute or two, the Leafs were mostly breaking out well at five-on-five, using the middle of the ice more and going off […] The post Game Review: After a promising first half, Maple Leafs let a point slip in Detroit appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
With the slate of Christmas, Saturday, and Sunday games over, there has been some clarity around the NFC standings. The Los Angeles Rams play tomorrow night, but here’s where things are now. By virtue of the Detroit Lions’ flailing about for four quarters and losing to the Max Brosmer and the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, […]
The highly anticipated rematch between the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions has a time and date. Clear your schedules for Sunday at 3:25 p.m. CT. That game will be on FOX. That late afternoon premium window has cooked up some great games this year. And I expect the matchup between the Bears and Lions to be another one of those types of games. To call this a big game would be an understatement. Saying it is a huge one wouldn’t do it justice. DJ Moore (2) carries the ball defended ...
The Green Bay Packers received a Christmas present from the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday when they defeated the Detroit Lions. The Lions’ loss clinched a playoff spot for the Packers, but we’re not done by a long shot. Green Bay’s loss on Saturday night means they can no longer win the NFC North and that […]
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 3-2 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 17-15-6. On the team’s performance: It was a hard-fought game.

The goalie was […] The post Craig Berube after the Maple Leafs’ overtime loss in Detroit: “Our game looks good right now” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
It isn’t how most teams would like to go about their winning ways, but the Tampa Bay Lightning wrapped up 2025 with a shoot-out victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Nikita Kucherov scored twice as the Lightning won their fourth game in a row and moved into a tie with Detroit atop of the Atlantic Division. The Lightning did have a few reinforcements in the line-up. Brandon Hagel returned to action while the newly recalled Max Groshev made his NHL debut. In net was Jonas Johansson, and he w...
The NFL will end its Week 17 Sunday slate of games with a bang, as the Chicago Bears (11-4) will travel West to take on the San Francisco 49ers (11-4). This holiday season, the Bears have sat back and watched with glee as both the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers lost their Week 17 […]
