Latest blog entries from Detroit teams across every league
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 defense figures to be a pretty big focus this offseason, as the Lions dropped […]
MLB History 1926 – The Chicago Tribune releases a story stating that the Detroit Tigers threw a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox in 1917 to help Chicago win the pennant. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis responds by holding a hearing on the matter, but dismisses all charges as he can find no witnesses to […]
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 […]

The Lakers will be down another starter on Tuesday as Rui Hachimura has been ruled out for the contest against the Pistons with right calf soreness. He joins Austin Reaves (left calf strain) and Gabe Vincent (lumbar back strain) as Lakers currently sidelined. This was foreshadowed a bit on Monday when head coach JJ Redick […]
If you were hoping if Ben Johnson would play his starters in Week 18 against the Detroit Lions, then I think you might be pleased with what the Bears head coach had to say on Monday: Ben Johnson on the Bears' intentions to play for the No. 2 seed: "We're playing to win this week." — Chris Emma (@CEmma670) December 29, 2025 “We’re playing to win this week” isn’t as direct of an answer as I’d like, but it is one that clues us in on the team’s plans heading into the Chicago Bears’...
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. The Green Bay Packers, meanwhile, are locked into the No. 7 seed, leaving very little mystery about who is getting in — only where everyone will land. EPISODE NO. 15 OF THE BN BEARS POD...
The Minnesota Vikings swept the season series against the Detroit Lions on Christmas Day. The Vikings knocked their divisional rival out of playoff contention, but also clinched the playoffs for the Packers at the same time. The Week 18 matchup between Green Bay and Minnesota will be meaningless for playoff positioning. The Lions offense was […]
If you’re wondering whether the Detroit Lions are going to play all of their starter in a “meaningless” Week 18 game against the Chicago Bears, coach Dan Campbell gave a resounding… maybe? Unsurprisingly, Campbell mentioned that the game can say a lot about a team’s set of players, and it’s the standard in Detroit to […]
Although Alex Bregman is one of the most highly sought-after free agents this winter, his market has been fairly narrow and well-defined for a while now. And yet, lately, the specifics have begun to evolve. A few weeks ago, Bregman’s market was pretty unanimously boiled down to three teams: (1) The Cubs, who made him an offer last offseason, (2) the Tigers, who made him an offer last offseason, and (3) the incumbent Red Sox, who signed him last offseason. Today, that looks a little differ...
Jaylen Brown received the 6th-most All-Star fan votes in the Eastern Conference, per the NBA’s first returns, released Monday. Brown received 808,276 votes, trailing Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (1,192,296), Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (1,072,449), New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (1,040,601), Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (1,000,171), and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell […]
The Detroit Lions (8-8) and Chicago Bears (11-5) will square off in a Week 18 divisional rivalry game. Unfortunately, this game has lost a bit of its luster, as the Lions are limping toward the end of the season, and the Bears have already clinched the NFC North title, their first since 2018. The folks […]
In this festive post-Christmas episode of Two Old Bloggers on Vikings 1st & SKOL, hosts Darren Campbell (fresh from his trip), Dave Stefano, and this season’s sidekick Drew Bunting deliver passionate, unfiltered analysis of the Minnesota Vikings’ thrilling 23-10 upset over the Detroit Lions. The defense stole the show on Netflix’s holiday showcase, forcing six […]
Before the 2025 Detroit Lions season began, many wondered how the team would look after losing both coordinators to head coaching jobs. Many warned of a potential “brain drain” in Detroit, and when Frank Ragnow suddenly retired in May, offensive line concerns were just as large—if not larger—than that of the coaching staff losses. One […]
Happy Simon Edvinsson Day in America to all who celebrate! No seriously, though. What a way to bounce back after Saturday’s ugly loss against the Hurricanes. The Toronto Maple Leafs gave the Red Wings a lot to handle on Sunday. The first period was a defensive battle before Matthew Knies opened the scoring in the middle frame. Moritz Seider would have the equalizer with less than a minute left in the second. Simon Edvinsson would eventually put the game away in OT thanks to a sweet displa...
As I wrote in this week’s Lions-Vikings preview article, “each loss has felt heavier than the last, often coming in ways that raise new questions rather than offering answers.” Christmas was no exception. If anything, it marked a new rock bottom—introducing the one feeling Lions fans hadn’t fully experienced in a while: a jaded numbness. […]
The NFL likes to really draw out the reveal of their Week 18 schedule. Hoping to put some win-and-in scenarios in primetime for the final regular season week, the NFL waits until most of the Week 17 is done before scheduling the final week of the season. After the 49ers’ win over the Bears on […]
In a season unanimously viewed as a failure, there are many parts of the 2025 Detroit Lions that can be considered disappointing. Whether it is the continued onslaught of injuries, the regression from the offense, the struggles of the defense, or the inability to reach the playoffs—let alone compete for a Super Bowl—a lot went […]
When the Chicago Bears traveled to Motown for their Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions, the Lions won big, 52-21. The Lions and their fans were fired up for that game, and it had a playoff-like atmosphere, because they wanted to make a statement and stick it to Ben Johnson for leaving to become […]
While the Red Wings were hanging around only down 1-0, you had to feel good about the Maple Leafs’ play through 35 minutes of this game. After a bit of a jittery first minute or two, the Leafs were mostly breaking out well at five-on-five, using the middle of the ice more and going off […] The post Game Review: After a promising first half, Maple Leafs let a point slip in Detroit appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
With the slate of Christmas, Saturday, and Sunday games over, there has been some clarity around the NFC standings. The Los Angeles Rams play tomorrow night, but here’s where things are now. By virtue of the Detroit Lions’ flailing about for four quarters and losing to the Max Brosmer and the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, […]
The highly anticipated rematch between the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions has a time and date. Clear your schedules for Sunday at 3:25 p.m. CT. That game will be on FOX. That late afternoon premium window has cooked up some great games this year. And I expect the matchup between the Bears and Lions to be another one of those types of games. To call this a big game would be an understatement. Saying it is a huge one wouldn’t do it justice. DJ Moore (2) carries the ball defended ...
