Lions mailbag: Why is Jared Goff still being overlooked?
We’ve officially reached the “player rankings” portion of the offseason, and it was kicked off this week by a particularly offensive quarterback ranking by friends-of-the-show, ESPN’s Mina Kimes and Ben Solak. This week, they did a NFL quarterback draft. To be clear, this isn’t a standard ranking of the NFL passers, it’s a draft where […]
Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule superlatives: Toughest stretch of the schedule
Another day, another opportunity to include an entry in our superlative series on the Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule. For the rest of this week, we’re breaking down a different angle of Detroit’s schedule every day, with each of us on staff offering our unique perspective on what the schedule makers have put together for the […]
What is the Detroit Lions’ ceiling for wins in 2026?
On Wednesday, we talked about the Detroit Lions’ floor for the 2026 season. Based on the team’s talent and their easy-looking schedule, it’s fair to say that even if most things don’t break the Lions’ way this season, expectations remain very high. Currently, 61% of Lions fans polled in Wednesday’s Question of the Day have […]
Notes: NFL continuing to pour more resources into international games
The NFL continues to set its sights internationally with more games added to the list beyond 2026, but one tweak to international game policy may draw some pushback. On Tuesday, the NFL approved an amendment to allow up to 10 league-run international games per season, which could happen as early as 2027, reports The Athletic. […]
Detroit Lions add veteran wide receiver
The Detroit Lions continue to add to their roster ahead of Organized Team Activities. On Wednesday, they announced they’ve signed veteran receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. The 6-foot-2, 197-pound receiver has been in the NFL for eight seasons. He began his professional football journey as a sixth-round pick for the Dallas Cowboys in 2018. There, he […]
Ranking chances of each Detroit Lions UDFA making the roster
Prior to last year, the Detroit Lions had at least one undrafted rookie make the team’s initial 53-man roster for 15 consecutive seasons. This year’s UDFA class includes nine players, and could eventually include more because Detroit still has a few remaining roster spots. Predicting which UDFAs could make the roster is tough. All of […]
Opponent writers predict the Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule
Last week, we provided our own game-by-game predictions for the Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule. But let’s turn that idea on its head. Instead, let’s see how the Lions’ 2026 opponents see how Detroit’s season will play out. For this exercise, I tallied the game-by-game prediction from SB Nation sites of Detroit’s 2026 opponents*. In those […]

What is the floor of wins for the 2026 Detroit Lions?
With the Detroit Lions’ schedule out and the betting lines released, expectations have been set for the 2026 season. Detroit arguably has the easiest schedule in the NFL—even if there are some things we really don’t like about it. They’re favorites in all but three games this season. And while there are certainly a lot […]
2026 Detroit Lions preseason schedule: Dates, times, opponents finalized
In addition to announcing their regular season schedule, the Detroit Lions also announced on Thursday their three-game preseason schedule, although without the dates. This year’s schedule, as usual, features a couple of nearby opponents to minimize travel. It’s also worth noting that Lions coach Dan Campbell already expressed that he doesn’t want to do any […]
Did the Detroit Lions make the right decision with the Germany game?
While NFL teams don’t outright get to choose which international game they want to play it, it’s clear the Detroit Lions made a push in 2026 to get the game in Munich. They already had international marketing rights in Germany, Amon-Ra St. Brown is an instant draw to the local crowd given his German roots, […]
WATCH: Ravens draft war room reacts to Detroit Lions jumping them in 2nd round
As teams release their 2026 NFL Draft war room videos, it can sometimes tell us more about the Detroit Lions’ process. We’ve already seen the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens reveal tarde offers they received from the Lions that ended up not going through. But there’s another moment from the Ravens video that involves […]

Video confirms Detroit Lions had big 1st-round trade up offer in place
A few weeks ago, we detailed two potential trade up offers the Detroit Lions may have had in place in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The first, reported by Nate Atkins of The Athletic, was a trade up attempt with the Los Angeles Rams—from 17 to 13—that LA rejected as too “soft.” […]
2026 NFL schedule: Detroit Lions favored in nearly every game
Late last week, Erik Schlitt and I made our best predictions for the Detroit Lions’ 2026 season based on the recently released NFL schedule. We did our best to try and stay as objective as possible, but couldn’t help but pick pretty great final records based on our game-by-game predictions. But it turns out our […]
2026 Detroit Lions schedule rest differential: What games do Lions have an advantage?
Rest differential has become the newest trendy stat when it comes to the NFL schedule. In short, it looks at every game on their schedule and calculates the overall difference in how much extra rest a team has compared to their opponent. For example, if the Lions are playing the Bears on a Sunday afternoon, […]
Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule superlatives: Most important game, stretch of the season
This is the part of the offseason where football fans are arrested to counting off days on the calendar. We won’t see the Detroit Lions take the field to play football for some time now, but at least we have the schedule for when it will all eventually happen! For the next week here at […]
Discussion: Which NFL stadium do you want to visit the most?
With the 2026 NFL schedule now out, it got me wondering about where I’d want to go next for a road visit. While it has become a luxury to attend Detroit Lions games locally, fans have found a way around expensive Ford Field tickets by going to away games that are somehow cheaper—even with travel […]
Don’t blame the NFL for Detroit Lions’ lack of post-Germany bye week
One of the things we didn’t love about the 2026 Detroit Lions’ schedule was their 12-day gauntlet from November 15-26 that includes three games for the Detroit Lions: an international game against the New England Patriots in Munich, Germany, a tough home test against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and their Thanksgiving matchup against the Chicago […]
Which 2026 Detroit Lions game would be best to attend?
Admittedly, the experience of watching NFL football at home has improved to nearly the point of perfection. With amazing production value, the ability to watch games in the comfort of your own couch—where food is cheap(ish) and bathrooms are comfortable—and it’s all relatively free, many football fans have understandably made the decision to stay at […]
Lions assistant coach to participate in NFL accelerator program
The NFL accelerator program—an annual summit to help minority coaches gain connections and increase their chances at advancement in the league—is returning after the league ended the program last year. And upon its return next week, there will be a Detroit Lions assistant coach who will participate. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Lions passing game […]
Discussion: How many division wins will the Detroit Lions tally in 2026?
Every year, the NFL schedule brings about something new for the Detroit Lions. This year, it’s a trip to Germany, a rare “Sunday Night Football” game at Carolina, and an early bye week. Oh, wait, scratch that last one. It happens all the time. Another constant on the Lions’ schedule is their divisional opponents. Like […]
What date do you have circled on the Lions’ 2026 schedule?
In what always feels like the first step towards the upcoming season, teams around the NFL released their regular-season schedules this week. Teams like the Los Angeles Chargers did their usual thing while others, like the Lions, went with a more subtle approach. Personally, I didn’t mind what Detroit did this year. It certainly could […]
Ranking Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule by game difficulty
The Detroit Lions’ schedule for 2026 has officially dropped. If Detroit wants to improve upon their 9-8 season from the year prior, they need to not only win the easy games, but also win those toss-ups against tough foes and divisional opponents. While the Lions benefit on paper from a fourth-place schedule, winning in the […]
5 things I hate about the 2026 Detroit Lions schedule
The Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule was released on Thursday, and man, the schedule makers did the Lions no favors. Despite finishing in fourth in their division and being labeled as having an “easy” schedule, the NFL made sure the Lions had an uphill battle to climb. Here are five things that I hate when looking […]
