Latest news and updates about the Lions
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 ...
The Green Bay Packers received a Christmas present from the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday when they defeated the Detroit Lions. The Lions’ loss clinched a playoff spot for the Packers, but we’re not done by a long shot. Green Bay’s loss on Saturday night means they can no longer win the NFC North and that […]
The NFL will end its Week 17 Sunday slate of games with a bang, as the Chicago Bears (11-4) will travel West to take on the San Francisco 49ers (11-4). This holiday season, the Bears have sat back and watched with glee as both the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers lost their Week 17 […]
The Detroit Lions’ playoff hopes are dead. It’s a terrible development, and I’m sure many Lions fans are checked out because of it. But for those who are staying, there are still some stakes left in the final two weeks of the 2025 NFL season. Most notably, the Lions’ draft position is still in flux. […]
Even though there’s one more game left, the Detroit Lions’ 2025 season is ostensibly over. The playoffs are no longer a possibility, and fans and media alike are already trying ot pick up the pieces of what went wrong in a season so filled with hope and expectation. While it is never hard watching the […]
In Detroit!
Oh, did you think that our Detroit Lions rooting guide died with the team’s playoff chances? Absolutely not. We just shift the focus to 2026 and the things that could help this franchise bounce back in a big way next season. Yes, it’s time to talk about 2026 NFL Draft position for these 8-8 Detroit […]
The Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs, thanks to two losses by the Detroit Lions since the Packers’ last game. Green Bay may have lost that game to the Chicago Bears, but the Packers’ chances of winning the NFC North and getting a better seed and a home game in the playoffs do remain […]
The Los Angeles Rams spent 5 seasons and one massive contract on Jared Goff before deciding that it was in the franchise’s best interest to trade him for an upgrade, which ended up netting L.A. the rights to Matthew Stafford en route to a Super Bowl. Now 5 years and one massive contract into his […]
Thus ends the Detroit Lions’ 2025 campaign. The dream was dying after a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, but it is officially dead following the Christmas Day loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Detroit has fallen to 8-8 on the season, an embarrassing and disappointing fall from their 15-2 season the year prior. The […]
While the Detroit Lions entered this game with slim hopes for the postseason, they let their final opportunity slip through their fingers with self-inflicted mistakes (six turnovers) and another ineffective game plan. Let’s take a look at how the Lions adapted their approach to their rematch with the Minnesota Vikings. Quarterbacks: After being efficient with […]
A peaceful Christmas featuring a walk back from church, a trip to my pops (where I think he enjoyed the batch of peanut butter blossom cookies I made him), and a night watching Return of the Jedi (dueling red and green lightsabers makes it a Christmas movie to me!) really hit the mark. Plus, I didn’t have to argue with anyone about the Bears or quarterback Caleb Williams. I hope your day was as wonderful as mine. Happy Friday, friends. I got a hearty chuckle reading Brett’s BN Cubs Bull...
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. Heading into the Christmas Day showdown against the Minnesota Vikings, the Lions still had the possibility of making the playoffs. What they needed was to win […]

Now that the Green Bay Packers have clinched their playoff spot, thanks to the Detroit Lions losing on Christmas Day, it’s time to really get into the nitty-gritty of the seeding race. Below is a table of the Packers’ playoff percentages for each seed in the playoffs, based on possible results from Week 17’s NFC […]
The Detroit Lions are on the verge of going first to worst. After a thrilling 15-win season in 2024 in which the Lions earned the NFC’s top seed for the first time in franchise history, the Lions are 8-8, eliminated from the playoffs, and current reside at the very bottom of the NFC North. The […]
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 Minnesota Vikings host the Detroit Lions today in the Twin Cities. This matchup of NFC North rivals is certainly a disappointing one, considering where these teams were just a year ago. Will Detroit rebound from their heartbreaking loss on Sunday? Can Minnesota pull off the home upset for the holiday? Let’s tune in and find out! […]
