A Detroit Lions blog by Lions fans, for Lions fans.
The Lions have now dropped three of their last five games—more than they lost in the entire 2024 regular season—after hitting an unwelcome offensive rock bottom against the Eagles, producing their first single-digit performance (9 points) since that forgettable Week 7, 2023 loss to the Ravens. Sitting third in the NFC North, Detroit once again […]
Coming off a rough loss in the primetime spotlight, the Detroit Lions are hoping for a comfortable win against the 2-9 New York Giants this week. Back in front of a home crowd, the Lions are looking to shake off a bad loss and add another tally in the win column on the road to […]

In short, we adjust each team’s lineups in Madden based on the most recent injury report, select which uniforms we want each team to wear, and […]
The Detroit Lions may be 12.5-point favorites over the New York Giants this week, but they better not take them lightly. Despite their 2-9 record, the Giants have been scrappy this year. Not only have both of their wins come against teams currently in playoff spots (Chargers, Eagles), but they’ve played almost everyone close, and […]
The Detroit Lions (6-4) and New York Giants (2-9) have declared their injury designations ahead of the Week 12 battle on Sunday afternoon at Ford Field. While the Lions will be missing a couple of starters in their secondary, the Giants will be without their quarterback—a significant blow for their chances on Sunday. Let’s take […]
There has been a statistical anomaly for the Detroit Lions’ offense for the past two years that almost seems inexplicable. So far this season, they are the only team that has not drawn a defensive pass interference penalty from the opponents. The league average is 5.7 pass interference penalties drawn. And this doesn’t appear to […]
The Detroit Lions will likely have to make their Super Bowl run without one of their best offensive players. Coach Dan Campbell announced on Friday that tight end Sam LaPorta underwent a procedure this week for his back injury that will almost certainly end his season. “Sam did have a procedure, and he’s going to […]
New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka announced on Friday morning that starting rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has not yet cleared concussion protocol and will NOT PLAY vs. the Detroit Lions this week. Dart had returned to practice after missing last week’s game against the Green Bay Packers, but was limited all week. That’s […]

Not only are the Detroit Lions doing big things on the field over the course of the last several years, they are also making waves off the field, too. Some of their stars have inked deals with national brands such as Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown’s partnerships with Adidas and Abercrombie, or running back […]
The Detroit Lions are trying to get back on track and stay in the NFC North race after a disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. This week, the 2-9 New York Giants are in town, and despite their record, they have been described as scrappy and “better than their record.” Are the Lions on upset […]
The Detroit Lions (6-4) and New York Giants (2-9) will square off in a Week 12 matchup at Ford Field. The Giants’ record is rough, but their talent is better than it suggests. New York will fight to stay in this game, but they’ll need to find a way to keep things together when the […]
For the first time this year, I got a huge swing and a miss in my bold prediction. The Detroit Lions never came close to making a turnover on defense, despite the Philadelphia Eagles offense struggling to do much. Detroit’s defense played tough and did all they could against Philadelphia, but only came away with […]
The NFL season grinds along, and the playoff picture, at least those who will and won’t be in the mix, is starting to take shape. As it stands right now, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions—top two seeds in the AFC and NFC, respectively—are on the outside looking in, as well as the […]

After breaking his leg in Week 15 of 2024, Dorsey began the long road of recovery, which extended into training camp. In mid-August, Dorsey was finally able to take […]
The Detroit Lions coordinators met with media on Thursday to discuss the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and look forward to Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. Topics ranged from missing Sam LaPorta, why the defense loves Dan Campbell’s fourth-down aggression, and some thoughts on how to improve the return game on special teams. […]
One of the most scrutinized decisions from the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles came in the second quarter when the Lions attempted to fake a punt. Facing a fourth-and-2 from their own 43-yard line, the Lions direct snapped to linebacker Grant Stuard. The play failed right away, as Moro Ojomo and Jalyx Hunt […]

Through 11 weeks of the season, the Detroit Lions find themselves on the outside looking in when it comes to the NFC playoffs.

It’s sounding more and more likely that the Detroit Lions will have their No. 1 cornerback returning for this week’s game against the New York Giants. Lions coach Dan Campbell noted that the he was optimistic D.J. Reed could be ready to play. “I’m hopeful, but I think a lot of it’s going to be […]
