The NFC North is still in play — at least for another day or two. The Green Bay Packers clinched a playoff spot on Christmas Day, getting an important present from Brian Flores and the Minnesota Vikings’ defense.

A pair of Minnesota Vikings set records on Thursday afternoon in the team’s 23-10 victory over the Detroit Lions. Since it’s time to talk about the positives that came out of the victory, let’s talk a bit about them now. The first one is a record that I think a lot of us expected to […]

The Minnesota Vikings’ passing game was not exactly a work of art in their 23-10 victory over the Detroit Lions on Christmas Day. Anyone who watched the game can assure you of that. The aenimic nature of the offense and the fact that the Vikings won anyway just shows that there are a lot of […]

On the Detroit Lions’ final injury report of the week in the lead up to their Christmas Day bout with the Minnesota Vikings, the team did not even list starting center Graham Glasgow with an injury designation. He was good to go after tallying two full practices this week—albeit in walkthroughs, not actual practices. So […]

Welp, the season is over. Although there is still a game next week against the Chicago Bears, the Detroit Lions have nothing to play for but a winning record.

The Detroit Lions are not in a good place right now. They’ve been eliminated from playoff contention, they’re on a three-game losing streak, and they’re currently playing some of the worst football they’ve played in the Dan Campbell era. It’s extremely concerning to see the team take this big of a step back and do […]

The Detroit Lions’ lost to a third-string, undrafted rookie quarterback who completed eight passes for 51 yards—just barely enough to offset the 48 yards of sack yardage he lost. That’s how bad the Lions’ offense was against the Minnesota Vikings in their (essentially) season-ending loss on Christmas. Let’s break it all down in our penultimate […]

Sometimes, when the offense is struggling, the defense needs to pick them up. On Christmas Day at U.S. Bank Stadium, the Minnesota Vikings’ defense not only picked up the offense, but they also carried them all the way into 2026 with some serious momentum. Minnesota’s defense forced six turnovers from a Detroit Lions’ offense that […]

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was in the giving spirit on Christmas. After throwing back-to-back interceptions in the third quarter, the Lions went from having a tied game against the Minnesota Vikings to being down two field goals against undrafted rookie quarterback Max Brosmer. The Lions were never able to regain even a neutral position […]

The Detroit Lions’ playoff hopes died on Christmas in one of the worst offensive showings in recent memory. Detroit turned the ball over six times, rushed for under 2.5 yards per carry, and Jared Goff was sacked five times. Detroit only 196 total yards of offense prior to a last-minute, pad-statting drive, which would have […]

Forget the presents, the NFC North is serving up a high-stakes Lions vs Vikings collision with playoff survival on the line.

Most Detroit Lions fans this week can probably relate to feeling like an angry elf with the team’s floundering season. The unraveling has been defined less by one collapse than by a steady accumulation of them. Each loss has felt heavier than the last, often coming in ways that raise new questions rather than offering […]
