NFL playoff picture: How Packers’ meltdown impacts Detroit Lions
The Green Bay Packers let a huge game slip away from them against the Chicago Bears, and it has put a big damper on the Detroit Lions’ playoff odds. Had the Packers held onto their late, fourth-quarter 10-point lead, Detroit’s playoff odds would’ve jumped to 32%. Now, they sit at 22% (per NYT Playoff Simulator). […]
NFL Saturday live discussion: Eagles vs. Commanders, Packers vs. Bears
The NFL has expanded to Saturday this week, and it means big stakes for the NFC playoff race—something that should have the attention of all Detroit Lions fans. Saturday kicks off with a late afternoon matchup (5 p.m. ET) between the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles. While there is not much at stake for the […]
Detroit Lions place Kerby Joseph on IR, make 2 OL moves for Steelers game
The Detroit Lions have finally placed safety Kerby Joseph on injured reserve, effectively ending the All-Pro defender’s season. Joseph has been dealing with a knee injury for essentially the entire season, but there was some brief hope he’d be able to return to the field. After suffering a setback during a recent practice, Joseph has […]

WATCH: Lions vs. Steelers preview, Madden 26 simulation
Madden season is coming to a close. With just three Detroit Lions games left, there are only three games left to simulate on the popular video game series. Unfortunately, next week’s game against the Minnesota Vikings falls on Christmas, and I will not be in town to simulate Lions vs. Vikings on Madden. So that […]
Discussion: Which Steelers player is biggest threat to a Lions victory?
With the Detroit Lions’ margin for error gone in their playoff race, the Pittsburgh Steelers are the first team in their way between them and the postseason. If Detroit drops their home finale to the AFC foe, their playoff chances aren’t completely gone, but we’re talking about postseason odds in the single digits. On paper, […]

The Detroit Lions (8-6) and Pittsburgh Steelers (8-6) have declared their injury designations ahead of their Week 16 matchup in downtown Detroit.

Should the NFL ease up on the taunting, unsportsmanlike penalties?
Through the years, the NFL has had it’s share of issues come and go as it pertains to officiating. Without diving too deep into the real issues that have been popping up in the 2025 season, I am going to focus on one aspect that the league has placed a heavy emphasis on this year—taunting […]
Detroit Lions vs. Pittsburgh Steelers preview, prediction: On Paper
The Detroit Lions cannot wait any longer. If they’re going to make a serious Super Bowl push, it has to start this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. For any realistic chance to make the playoffs, the Lions need to win out, and even that doesn’t guarantee them a spot in the postseason. The Steelers, too, […]
Lions News: National predictions for Detroit Lions vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Detroit Lions are in a tight spot, but playoff hopes are still alive. This week they take on an old friend—Aaron Rodgers and the 8-6 Pittsburgh Steelers.

Steelers vs. Lions bold prediction: Jared Goff’s jersey stays clean
Even when I try to go simple with my bold prediction, it still doesn’t come true. Last week’s prediction was a big ask, despite it being straightforward. This week’s bold prediction might be too much to ask for in this game, but as much as the Detroit Lions are in must-win mode, so am I. […]

NFL Week 16 kicks off with one of the best games of the week. The Los Angeles Rams sit atop the entire NFC, but their division-rival Seattle Seahawks are right on their heels.

Lions coordinator recap: A strong defense of Jake Bates
This week’s Detroit Lions coordinator recap focuses a little more on recapping the loss to the Los Angeles Rams rather than looking forward to the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, it features a lot of interesting topics, including Jameson Williams’ explosion over the past six games, some important self-scouting on defense, and a full-throated endorsement of kicker […]

Lions DC Kelvin Sheppard oddly protective about run defense vs. Rams
Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard spoke in the front of the media on Thursday after the team’s 41-34 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and admitted his unit’s performance was nowhere near acceptable. Any time the offense scores 34 points, in his opinion, the team should win the game. Sheppard was quick to point […]

Lions News: Refs warn Lions to stop creative celebration
NFL officials are fed up with a certain celebration from a few Detroit Lions players on offense.

[…]

The Detroit Lions are staring down this final stretch of games with the playoffs still within reach.

This week, we […]
Discussion: How should the Detroit Lions utilize David Montgomery?
There’s been an odd trend with the Detroit Lions’ losses this year, and it’s involved running back David Montgomery. In most of those games, he’s been very efficient, but underutilized. Check it out: That has led many to believe that the Lions are doing Montgomery wrong, and it appears—at least to some degree—that Lions coach […]
Lions Week 16 preview: Breaking down Steelers’ offensive, defensive schemes
The Detroit Lions (8-6) and Pittsburgh Steelers (8-6) will square off in a Week 16 battle with NFL playoff implications.

Detroit Lions return Giovanni Manu to practice, want him ready for 2026
The Detroit Lions have begun the 21-day evaluation clock for offensive tackle Giovanni Manu. The second-year offensive tackle has been on injured reserve since Week 5 with a knee injury, but it appears he’s healthy enough to return to practice. He was officially listed as limited in practice on Wednesday ahead of the team’s game […]
