Sleeping in was a great idea until I remembered what errands I had to run today. Whoopsiedoodle. First up on the Saturday to-do list: This set of BN Bears Bullets. The final injury reports ahead of the Week 18 clash between the Bears and Lions are out. On the Detroit side of things, the Lions will be without some notable key players — including star offensive tackle Penei Sewell. As for Chicago, the Bears received some relatively encouraging news about Rome Odunze. The second-year wide ...

The Detroit Lions’ 2025 season was a disappointment in so many ways. But none more humiliating than the fact that Madden—an extremely flawed video game—was better at predicting Lions outcomes than I was. And it wasn’t particularly close. Our weekly Madden simulations, where we live-stream a game of computer vs. computer Madden game, actually went […]

The only thing that practically matters for the Detroit Lions is draft order and their 2026 schedule. And while the best way to improve those things is a Lions loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, I wouldn’t blame you if you’re incapable of rooting for that. If that’s too much for your taste, I’ve […]

These two franchises have been playing each other since 1930; only back then, it was the Chicago Bears vs the Portsmouth Spartans. The Bears lost that first matchup, and they’ve lost the last three against the Detroit Lions, but Chicago holds a (105-81-5) all-time record in the series. For Week 18, there’s not quite as […]

The Dallas Cowboys are the exception. Unfortunately for all of us in this context being the exception is not good. The Cowboys, who were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs several days before Christmas for the second year in a row, have had moments of extreme success this season, but they have also had some that […]

Finishing off the regular season with the division rival Detroit Lions is a testament to how much an NFL season changes from the beginning to end. It’s a demonstration of how teams evolve, get better, or alternatively, get worse, get injured or suffer from bad luck. Think back to when these two teams met in […]

The Detroit Lions (8-8) and Chicago Bears (11-5) have declared their injury designations ahead of their Week 18 matchup to close out the 2025-26 regular season.

Every year, there is change within NFL teams. There’s a fair amount of roster turnover year-to-year, and coaching staffs are usually tweaked here and there. But during Dan Campbell’s final press conference of the 2025 season, the Detroit Lions coach seemed to put an extra emphasis that, after a failed season, they are not going […]

While the Detroit Lions’ season ended on Christmas last week, there was one silver lining: my bold prediction was correct. That makes it two times my bold prediction has come true this season, not the record I wanted to have. In the 2025 season finale, the Lions travel and take on the Chicago Bears in […]

For the first time in four years, I’m previewing a Detroit Lions game that I know is “meaningless.” It’s been a good run for On Paper and the Lions, but it’s hard to put a ton of effort into this Week 18 preview against the Chicago Bears when the stakes are nearly zero, and the […]

The Detroit Lions will likely enter the 2026 offseason looking for solutions for an offensive line that took a significant step back this season. If you’re hoping retired All-Pro center Frank Ragnow is one of those solutions, Lions quarterback Jared Goff has got some bad news for you. Talking with 97.1 The Ticket on Tuesday […]

The Detroit Lions (8-8) are officially eliminated from the 2026 playoffs, following a Week 17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. With the postseason out of reach, the Lions are unsurprisingly ranked below the 14 teams expected to compete beyond the regular season. While the Lions still land in the teens across all power rankers, being […]

It’s obvious one of the major problems of the 2025 Detroit Lions was their defense. On a weekly basis, the Lions were giving up explosive play after explosive play, and in key moments, Detroit’s defense just couldn’t get off the field. It only seemed to get worse, as even the Lions’ normally-steady run defense collapsed […]

Big decisions await the Detroit Lions as they head into the 2026 offseason. After a massive step back this year, Lions coach Dan Campbell said he expects to evaluate everything this offseason, and there’s a chance to make changes anywhere.

The Detroit Lions saw five players earn Pro Bowl nominations in 2025-26, and while postseason recognition is meant to be an appreciation of talent, there are typically financial ramifications attached to the acknowledgement. For veterans, those outcomes often present themselves in the form of palatable roster bonuses. However, first-round picks who are still playing on […]

As we say hello to the final week of the NFL regular season, the playoff picture in the NFC North is almost set in stone — and it’s the Chicago Bears sitting comfortably at the top. Chicago has already clinched the division crown, while the Lions and Vikings have been eliminated from postseason contention.
